HOMER, Neb., Dec. 31.-About month
ago Rev. B. S. Mastin came here from
Sioux City to take charge of the Meth
odist Episcopal church. He boarded
with family named Harris. Soon
after he settled down rumors deroga-
tory to his character were circulated.
and Presiding Elder Maxwell, of Omaha,
came here and investigated. The re-
suit was that Mastin was suspended.
He then took out license to
wed Miss Harris, daughter OF
his landlady. When the citizens
heard of this they formed mob The
wedding was to have taken place
Thursday night and the mob went
there to stop it. Mastin had gun and
stood the mob off. They took refuge
behind strawstacks and fences and
from these points of vantage, told Mas
tin that If the marriage was consum-
mated he would be visited yesterday,
tarred and feathered and given an ex-
cursion on rail. The wedding did
not take place.
