The Rar Hcad vigIIantes.


The Bay Head VigiIantes
A gang OF self-constituted moralists
took young man from a house where
he was visiting at Bay Head on Tues
day evening and repeatedly ducked
him in the river; then they beat him
with ropes and ordered him to leave
the place.
Returning to look for the woman he
had been visiting, they were disap-
pointed to find that she had made her
escape. We are not told just what
chastisement their Christian right
eousness would have led them to in
hlct on her Whether they would
have flogged her or ducked her or
both must remain a matter of conjee-
ture.
There is one terrible pity about the
whole affair, and that is that the
young man did not know the vigil
antes were coming. IL he had, he
might have procured large double
barrelled shot gun and loaded it to the
muzzle with slugs. Thus he might
have been able to receive the highly
moral regulators as they deserved.

that it is determined to deal openly
