employed on the morning of Aug. 2S,
and saw another man shove him into a
mixing machine. the bottom Of which

Reriestions ON Their Character for Attend

Webster City, Ia. Dec. 21-A dance
held in Wright county, just over the
line. brought down the censure of Rev.
n. A. Forrest in his sermon at Walnut
Cr 5e Presbyterian church, and in his
remarks he was very severe on the
young women present. The dance wound
up in a row, and he said no woman who
thought anything of herself would at
tend such gathering. In his congre-
cation were Miss Lille Barstow and
Mary Cunningham, both of whom were
present at the dance. They left the
church, and, going to their homes, each
secured a small whip, and returning,
met the minister as he was leaving the
church and gave him a severe drubbing.
He attempted TO explain TO them, but
they would not listen TO him. Several
large welts were raised on his face and
the fact that he was protected by fur
coat was all that saved his body. He
was prostrated in the evening and un-
able to hold services. The young wom-
en- are the daughters of prominent
farmers and well thought Of in the
community. Sympathy is mainly on
their side. They attended the dance,
