PATROLMAN STRUCK WOOD.
Mr., Wood said 'I went with party of
gentlemen to the polls Saturday afternoon
and found a score of Indians" there.
They pushed us from the line. I ap-
peaIed to Patrolman Wilson, whom I rec
oRnized, and he only laughed at me.
"I am a Folk man and want to vote
1 said to him. He jumped at me and
struck me. 1 appealed to Special officer
Dennis OConneI and he told me to get
away from him or he would punch my
head.
MY brother was a Folk judge in the
polling place, into which 1 finally fought
my way. 1 informed him OF the condi-
tions outside and told him to see that
there was a fair count He has since in
formed me that he refused to sign the
returns.
