A Man Cowhided by his
Wife and Step-daugh-
ter.

Many Of our readers may bs interested IN
knewing that Gsnssss has had genuine
sensation. The parties in the affair were
N. J. Fathey, a respectable citizen, his
wife and step-dsughtsr. II seems that Mr..
Futhsy, who is about sixty years Of age. .
year Or % ago married . widow named
Hall. ofsoms forty Or Fifty summers. The
couple did not live happily together, and
finally parted. On Thursday Of last week,
Mrs. Futhey sent request to her husband
to meet her on Main street, in Gsnssss. -
What followed can b learned from the fol-
lowing graphic account BY Hsbbs Of the
Gsnssss Republic
"Just prior to the meeting, Mrs. Futhsy
and her daughter, Mrs. Brown, of Osco
purchased . rawhide each, which impls-
msnts Of warfare we're concealed from the
victims observation when the meeting
took place. The interview net proving IN
agreeable one to Mr.. Futhsy, he turned to
leave the ladies', when instantly few frsn
ins. mt Fathey's head, shoulders, and
limbs we're undergoing . terrible belabering
from the irats women. The neise of the
fray smptied every inhabited building on
Nam street on to the sidewalk il trios.-
Futhsy attempted flight, but the nimbls
feet Of the spriehtly ladies were too many
for him. He scsstsd, but they scsopsd
him at every leap. He thrust sticks at
them. which they didn't mind sntrsstsd,
but they we're deaf threatened. but they
wouldn't scare worth cent The rawhides
were applied vigorously, though Futhsy
WAS in full rstreat-routsd, herse. foot and
diagoon. The ladies followed on his heels
like slenth hounds, nor did they spare the
lash. II was IN exciting scene, and youth
yelled. The thwasks could be heard
squares eff they ratified over Futhey's
person like hail on . tin roof One Of
Dickens characters is made to say that
wimin is . rum cfestur,' which sentiment
ruthsy, doubtless, endorses. Fully.
The castigation vas the work of quite .
period. The victim Vas chased and Whalsd
bsys the busine limits Of the street,
even to the German church, and here the
exciting scene closed. The vemsn dssist-
cd, put up their weapons, snoothsd down
their ruffled feathers, gave poor Futhey .
lest gaze. and left him alooo in net . vast
deal Of glory.
MIRA. F. and her dutiful daughter imms
diataly repaired to the Office Of Esquire
Campbell, BY whom, On complaint Of Mr.
Brown. husband Of the daughter, they
we're 6nsd i've dollars each, and permitted
to depart.
Thus ended family "unpleasantn )"
and one Of the richest scenes that has
ever transpired in this quiet and orderly
burg"
