Whipped To Death.--The Nevada Transcript, of February 5th, has the following:
We learn from J. W. Organ that two Chinamen were whipped to death at Squire's canon near Dutch Flat, a day or two ago. They were caught by the watchman, who was watching the sluices, in the act of robbing the flume, and were beaten to death. It is reported that the poor Chinamen were horribly mutilated and literally beaten to a jelly. Although they deserved punishment, it would have been much better to have the law take its course than to engage in such horrible brutality, and we hope that those guilty of it will be brought to justice.
