Men aud Women Cruelty Fiegged

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, Dee. S.
During the past week the White
Caps have been active in Harrison
county, and the result Of their raids
Il found in the lscerated hacks of n
number Of men and women who
had been so unfortunate Is to come
under their displeasure. On De-
cetnber LIST the raiders Of the night
called at the home of an aged pair
named Mower of Seth township,
ami taking them from their beds,
lashed them to sapling and whip
ped them with hickory switches
until their lacks were n mass OF
bruises. After the flogging they
were released. and warned that II
toey were not out OF the country in
ten days the consequences would be
exceedingly painful. The old
couple who were charged with
petty thieviug and immortality, have
since packed up their small belong
ings and let.
In Washington township CT the
same county the gang paid visit n
few rights ago to the house Of David
Lowe, and, jerking him from his
bed. administered such severe
punishment that it was feared for a
while he would die.
Leaving loves house the same
gang went TO the bedside of Field
ing Richard. Upon being refused
admission, they broke the door
down, and, dragging Fielding
d - f-ox,, Sf.a bc.,~. lid him
to q tree where fifty lashes were
laid on his bare back. Richard and
wife were charged with Incidence,
immortality aud general worthless
ness.
From Richards the night raiders
went to q half demented preacher
living near, and, dragging him from
his bed, beat him nearly TO death.
Only q few weeks ago one Thomas
p. Nicely, Of Seth Township, Har-
rison County. was taken from his
bed and logged by the nighthawks-
BY a peculiarity in his walk the
victim recognized Bufford Watson
As oneof the men plying the switch
&c, and, meeting him n few days
after in the streets Of AIaugkort, be-
came involved in a fight, in which
the White Cap was stabbed and SER
iousIy wounded.
In the counties Of the southern
part oftbe State no fears appears TO
exist among the regulators of any
legal consequence that may come
up, and they pursue their raids
whenever the necessity for such
action becomes apparent TO them.
