Joseph Tuna, former resident of SNYDER

spring Tuna caused the arrest of two
young men Of Snyder on a charge of fe-
lonious assault on his l6-year- old daughter.
but the case was dismissed by the county
attorney on account of insufficient evidence
and the Tuna family soon afterward left
town. Thanksgiving night Tuna SAYS he
went to Snyder to make ARRANGEMENTS for
having his household goods and blacksmith
tools. which were stored on the premises of
F. Billet, moved to Centerville. Later in
the evening, while he was in Billots house
playing cards with the family, a crowd of
a dozen or more men came to the house
and forced their way in. Threatening Billot
that they would give him the same punish
ment If he interfered, they seized Tuna
and dragged him down the railroad track
to telegraph pole. Tuna says when they
got to the railroad some one brought out
a rope and they told him they were going
to string him up. Another man, whom he
claims he recognized, said: mo- that won't
do" and going to a lumber ward brought
out AKA plank about sixteen feet long.
Two men at either end placed this on
their shoulders" said Tuna, who weighs
fully 200 pounds, land i was put astride
and the crowd started down the track l
sat on the pole as ordered with feet crossed
underneath, and was carried about quarter
of a mile, the crowd hooting and jeerlng
and occasionally hitting me a blow if l
changed my position. They then threw me
off alongside the right of way and while
a man sat on each leg a third compelled
me to sign two papers. wrote where they
ordered me, but could not see them nor the
paper and don't know what signed After
a few parting kicks and cuffs they left me.

again l would fare worse"
Tuna was considerably bruised and used
up, but managed to get back to his home.
He says he recognized his assailants. The
officers are not inclined to place much con-
fidence in one part Of Tuma's story in which
he related that the Snyder people had

see that Taylor is not robbed Of his rights"

been no influx Of democrats as yet and the
arrival of any number of them is not ex-
pected before Sunday night or Monday morn

The trouble with the present law is that
the rates Of insurance are not fixed in pro-

the destruction by hail is in the western
