Unnamed Chinese Miner Was Hanged by a Mob

On November 24, 1879, an unnamed Chinese miner was reportedly hanged by a mob at the Warren Mining Camp near present-day Dixie, Idaho. No linked newspaper coverage has yet been located, and the surviving record preserves no further detail about the accusation, the attackers, or any official response. Even in its brevity, the case records anti-Chinese lynching violence in Idaho’s mining country.
