rion township last night, Andy Walls. a
well-known resident being the victim
There were ten men in the party, and they
forced an entrance to the house about 2
o'clock by breaking down the door, Walls
was seized, and while being dragged from
the house his wife attempted to intercede
and was roughly handled, being kicked sew
eial times. Walls was taken half-mle
from home and switched on the back, two
men holding him. After he was given a
whipping he was notified that if he did not
lead a better life worse punishment was
in store. After the whipping Walls was
tied to a tree, where he was left. but he
finally worked his way loose, getting home
after daylight. The White-cappers' friends
say that Walls has neglected his family and
has taken undue interest in woman whose
conduct the gossps have taken on them
selves to criticise, and this perhaps accounts
for the whipping. Walls says he was blind
folded, but he recognized the voices of all
the men, and some were neighbors
