TARRED AND FEATHERED.
A White Man Marries a Negress end
Both Are Roughly Handled

Walla Walla, Wash, June 9.-Fifty
masked men, heavily armed, took Joseph
FOssati and Robbie Allen, colored woman
who runs a house of ill repute, and ap.
piled to them a coat of tar and feathers
early this morning. Shortly after mid
night a body of men, wearing masks
over their faces went to the house. A
hack was driven to the door, the men
broke open the door and going to the bed
room, dragged Fossati and the woman
from the bed and carried them to the hack,
which was driven to the outskirts of the
city. Their clothing was torn off and
heavy coat of tar and feathers applied,
and the two ordered to leave the city.
The affair was well planned and well
executed, the thoroughfare through which
the hack passed being guarded by armed
men, and any attempt to stop them would
have been futile. Although Fossati is
the son of respectable family and has had
more than the average advantages in
life, he has persistenty lived with this
woman, and on Friday they went to Day
ton where they We're married. Mrs. d.
