city to the Tribune. Three bands led the
march to the City Hall. The Presidents
carriage was followed for two miles by
the impetuous populace. Three pretty girls,
carrying a banner. and wearing liberty
caps. came directly behind the American
troops, which acted as an escort. At the
plaza, where the government building is
situated there were half a dozen more
bands. The square was beautifully deco
rated and Illuminated, and pictures of the
President-elect were everywhere. AS ne
approached. all the bands played and one
thousand school children sang the Cuban
hymn, keeping time with American and
Cuban flags. Speeches by Mayor Ronda

lowed these exercises, and then the Palma
party was entertained at an informal din

General Palma occupied at night the same

BROWN COUNTY TRAGEDY
SECOND wHITECAPPING TAKES
PLACE WITHIN THE WEEK.
Finley Stretchberry Twice Beaten
and His Wife Made a Maniac-0ne
shot at the Marauders.

NASHVILLE, Ind, April 23.-Brown
county's second case of whtecapping this
week came Tuesday morning, only few,
hours after the unmerciful beating OF Will
liam Caldwell, but a few miles from the
scene of the second outrage. Finley
Stretchberry is the second victim. and
the result, he is in a critical condition. and
his wife, who has been in the insane asy
lum, has again lost her mind.
At 2:SO o'clock Tuesday morning twenty
masked men went to the Stretchberry
house and demanded admission. This was
refused. and they broke down the doors.
Stretchberry met them. gun in hand and
fred one load into the mob, but yielded to
the pleadings of his wife and did not fire
the second barrel. He was then disarmed,
but made a desperate struggle, and yielded
only when beaten to unconsciousness with
clubs and revolvers. His wife then
seized and thrown into the kitchen on the
floor.
Stretchberry was taken to the woods
near by, stripped, tied to a tree and beaten
until the blood ran. When the members
of the mob were wearied, they united him,
took him some distance down the road,
tied him to a fence post and beat him till
he was almost dead.
In the meantime Mrs. Stretchberry's mind
had given way under strain of the excite
ment. She dashed from the house and ran
down the road Arriving at the nearest
farmhouse she burst her way in, and went
on breaking her way into the room where
the farmer lay asleep. and throwing her
self across him the bed He could not
get any information from her, but knowing
something was wrong induced her to leave
the house with him, and after several
hours search they found Stretchberry, still
tied to the post and nearly dead. He was
taken home and a physician was sent for.
Both he and his wife are in a critical con-
dition
stretchberry to-day gave the following
account of the attack:
Il heard my dog barking loudly about
2:S0 o'clock Tuesday morning. l got up
and looked out Of the window and saw
a crowd of men standing in the front
| yard. L called my wife and she became
so frightened that l had to hold her. L
heard crash at the door. A, large pole
was run against ii and it was forced open.
In rushed ten or twelve masked men and
seized me. They gave me a beating, took
my wife to the kitchen and locked her
up, then took me out through the road to
| the woods, tied me up and beat me with
clubs and revOlvers. My wife broke out of
| the kitchen and ran away. When the mob
| entered L had my shotgun ready, and, as
| they came upon me, l fired to kill. When /
| shot, one man threw up his hands and fell
and his comrades seized him and carried
is over the floor that flowed from the wound
| of the man 1 shot. l know who the white
| cappers are and 1 Will make it known
| soon"
| Blood could readily be seen from the
| doorstep of the house out to the road,
| marking the path of the injured white
! cap as his friends carried him away. The
! they believe that they can capture members
/ or the mob.
