RIDING on A Ran. An INSULT TO THE LADIES OF
TENNESSEE SUaDARILY REsESTED-The Knoxville Re
gista states that two men, named STOW ana O'HARA
got into discussion about something, during which
the former used some expressions deemed offensive
by the latter to which he retortel using some sian
derous words in regard to the ladies Of Tennessee.
ThereupOn Snow slapped him in the face. and o HARA
returned the blow with a kick. The idea soon
spread that O'HARA had INDUCED in some harsh ex-
pressiOns towards the ladies Of Tennessee, which
created great excitement and mob violence was
threatened. Under the protection of the police Off
GERS, he was taken to the Courthouse and confront
ed with 200 or 800 enraged citizens. The charges
were reiterated and O'HARA heard in his defense.
The excitement increased and but for the interpOs
ton of the Mayor, he would have been lynched. /
Against the solemn protest of the Mayor, O'HARA |
was, however, mounted on a rail, and rode around /
the square TO the Lamar House From thence, he |
went to his boarding house and through the advice
Of friends left for Concord, take the night train
for the South. Had he remained until night, it is
thought, he would have been treated more roughly.
