The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-03-01

by band of six disguised men, carried
about quarter of mile, lashed to tree
and severely beaten, the instruments of
torture being hickory witbes. He says he
was punished on account of reporting a
still to revenue officers. He pleaded inno-
cence, and promised to establish his
innocence, but without avail He
says two whipped him at time,
one on each side, each, striking about
seventy blows, bringing the blood each
time. After the men had taken round
at whipping they left him, still tied to the
tree. They returned in fifteen minutes |
and gave him 100 blows. They then re-
leased him, half dead and bleeding pro-
fusely, the blood running like water down |
to his feet The parties are recognized |
moonshiners, and all efforts to capture |
them have proved futile. Gainesville is |
but few miles from Chattanooga, over the |
Georgia State line.
WYATT BANKS and Fred Waite have been |
sentenced at Austin, Texas, to be hanged |
March g. for the murder of Jailer Myser |
last May.
A Special dispatch from East Tawas, |
Mich, on the I'd, gives the following par
ticulars of a horrible tragedy: IAN argus
ment arose between two teamsters, in one
of Browns lumber camps, regarding who
had hauled the heaviest load of logs.
That night, after most of the men had
retired, as the victor sat beside the
stove with his head bowed down, the
other came in, and with one blow of an
az completely severed his head from
his body. While the head laid upon the
floor the mouth and eyes opened and
closed once or twice. The cry of murder
given, sixty men hurriedly arose from bed,
saw the fearful deed, and without further
ceremony took log chain and hung the
murderer to the first tree, and will not al
low him to be taken down until the arrival
of the Sheriff. A later report states that
an attempt of men from an adjoining camp
to cut the body down resulted in riot, in
which seven men were killed. The camp
is twenty-six miles northeast of Tawas."
