HOW 1T WAS DONE.
story of the Tarring and Feathering of
EIder Higgins.

Bangor, June 6.-The Commercial
says:
Tho opposition to the strange doctrine
OF salvation preached in Leyant by George
W. Higgins, an elder of the society
known as the Holy Ghost and Us, cul-
minated Monday evening in an outbreak
of mob force; the result was the treat
ment of Elder Higgins to a coat of tar
and feathers, and the rough handling
OF both him and his companion in the
service, Ruel Clement
The majority of the citizens Of Levant
and the adjoining towns have been grad
ualiy working into'a condition OF open
rebellion against the teachings of the
elder. They say that he regarded both
man and beast as infested with demons,
who could be scourged out of the body.
Therefore, COWS, horses, dogs and other
animals were punished terribly when
ever the demon was supposed TO Ec ir
them, while in the case Of humanity trio
ing up by the thumbs and fearful beat.
ings were considered the proper thing.
The people Of Levant claim that Hig-
gins recently treated ohild-a young
girl in this way, to remove the demon
from her person. ALI pork is regarded by
the Ghosters as unolean, and every disci-
pls of the church had to slaughter his
swine and bury what pork he had In his
house, amidst prayers and lamentations.
The treatment of the child forced the
rebellion to head.
Last Saturday a movement to punish
the elder was started, and by Sunday it
was in full swing.
Men prominent in the town took the
lead and began to call quietly on their
neighbors and solicit support whenI the
crisis came. In this way a body of nearly
100 men, all determined to punish the
elder for what he had taught, was col
leoted under a promise to turn out on
call.
Monday morning was the time set for
the warni ng. At that time notice was
sent to Higgins stating the case rather
plainly and urging him to leave town be-
fore trouble broke out.
Higgins decided to throw himself on
the Lord, for he failed to heed the warn
ing.
On Monday night over 100 persons, in
Guiding scores of wagons carrying men,
women land children: started toward the
Clement farm, near Levant village. The
march was silent. and the house was
surrounded before those within knew
what was coming. A light burned in
one OF the downstairs rooms, though 1t
was then after 9 oclock-a late hour in
the country.
A dozen of the strongest men went to
the door and knocked. Clemen5 respond.

Higgins came to the open door. He
hold lantern in one hand.
"I'm not afraid Of you," he called.
Boys, GOD Almighty will protect me
from you tonight
Then somebody kicked the lantern out
of Higgins'a hand. As it fell the light
went out and Higgins disappeared into
the middle of the crowd, which was now
On fire with excitement
Then from somewhere rail was pro-
duced.
