Democratic enquirer. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1867-1873, 1867-05-23

because he had been defeated 10 this his
undertaking, and by reason thereof, many
dollars Of his money would have 10 be
given to this noble enterprise, resolves
within himself, to make this an enters
prise of speculation unto himself by
harrassing and tOrmenting some of the
people of the city and they that dwell in
the country round about it.
IA. And thereupOn he caused smnCh
Of the property Of the people Of the city,
and of the country round abOut,it, to be
impounded in their English pound, from
whence they could not be taken, until
the uttsrmost fatthing was paid, by the
owners thereof.
Is. Ard it came to pass that EGBERT,
whose urusme is BOWEN, (of whom we
have before written was made to feel the
MIGHTY POWER OF THE "LoRD':Ou the
fifth day of the third week, and of the
fifth month of the year, one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-seVen, insOmuch
that he had not the power to go whittier
sOever he would, but upon the contrary
was compelled to march before his cOuns
Gil and court, whom EaBERT recognized.
16. And when he had fully submitted
to the power thereof, and feeling himself
fully within the "Iron grasp" Of the
"LOrd," he became somewhat humble
before the eyes Of the "LOrd, and asked
leave of his Court, to go hence, even UNI
til he could procure a Mediator, or one to
plead in his behalf, which request was
granted him by the Court upon his
bringing a good citizen to stand in his
stead for the space Of eighteen hours and
thirty minutes. su 9Ii 20.
II. And il came to pass that upon
the day and at the hour appointed came
"Egbsrt" and his Mediator, and there
fore released his surety, and they procee-
ded to hear all the accusations whereof
EGBERT was charged. mo.t a6T
l8. And it so appeared from the tes'
timouy of the "Chief Pig DriUer," that
Egbsrt had not trespassed upon his
"Lord's' premises, for the reason that
the "Lord" had rented the lands unto
another person, even by mis- "CAIEF Pic
DRIVER" who wears the honorable name
of farming Agent" bsia4al# n f.
l9. And it came to pass, that while
"Egbert'' was many miles away from
the city looking for o Mediator, that the
"Lord" grew wroth a second time at
"Egbert," and caused hls stock to be
driven from off Egbert's premises, and
took them unto himself by a writ of Re-
plevin. H, o..
20. And when "Egbert'' had ap-
pOared with his Mediator, great fear
came upon the Counselor of the "Lord,'
and he was seized with great and sudden
pain in one of his limbs, insomuch that
be took the name of the "Lord''in vain,
and Y the name of his Christ a; and
he twitched and jerked and made such
lamentable faces, as that he had to- go
thence from the court, where we're assem-
bled all the "Captains'' and "Majors,''
and many sinners, even the Buckeyes
and irish, who are very wicked and
when he had gone from thence he told
the "Chief Pig Driver" to take back
"Egbert's" property, and put it in bis
fields again, as the taking Of 1t was mol
lawful. lq at4fa o. ii
81. And after the court had heard the
Counsel Of, the "Lord" and that Of "Eg'
bert'' it ordered Egbert to enter into
recogniz4nce for his appearance before
the Common Pleas Court, in the "Noblt
Halls Of Justice" even in Macarthur
and in defanlt of which, that he be sem
unto the Macarthur Boarding House.
as the city Of the "Lord'' has no cheap
fare for persons charged as is Egbert.
i22. And it then cama to pass when the
people ofthat city heard the news thereof
how that Egbert was ordered BY the
court to do, that there was gathered to.
[gether round about him an innumerable
host Of friends, even the hills and noun.
tains Of the city, sprung forth and were
resdy to enter upon his bond for his ap.
p~earance at the Court Heuse, in the nNO'
BILE Halls of Justice" in Macarthur.
%. And again it came to pass, thai
when all this was done, the Rulers moi
yet being satisfied, and not having yet
fully glutted their vengeance, upon their
subjects, rssorted to another, msans OIL
wreaking out their vengeance, and wheu
they had tnlly agreed among themselves.
it was ordered that they make another
attempt, and ON the nineteenth day Of
the fifth month of the year one thousand
eight hundred sixty and sVzen, they ar.
rested three score and ten young lads Of
the city, and brought them before the
court whom they also have tried; but up.
on the hearing some were released and
some were not. g~Ilrgo,7
"a. In the meantime it came ia
pass that one of the men whom the
Rulers had marked, him whose surname
is Gabe, sought, and made him the vic
tim Of their consuming care, for nsithei
} dag nor night was there rest given untc
their souls, until they had him discharged
from employment at the Machine Shops
rs. And there remaineth one othel
person whose surname is MAY, who's,
chief business it is to take charge Of th,
department of the Machine Shops, hin
have the Chief Rulers marked; and i
