of twenty men, disguised by white masks,

two women were stopping and left the fol.
lowing written notice, directed to all MOI
mon elders in Marion county:
If you are in the county tomorrow night you
will be in hell next day. WHITE CAPS.
The elders decided to remain, and their
converts in The neighhorhood agreed to pro
tect them. o, Friday night band of 100
meu, all wearing white caps, took the three
elders into the woods and suspended
them to iim5 by their thumbs. They then
gave tach one fifty lashes with heavy
awitches, and warned them to leave the
county at once under penalty of death.
The two women we're warned that unless
they returned to their husbands at once
they wo1ld be dealt with in similar man.
