Wounded Davis, a few years
ago, has there
by an Outrage been such indigna
ton aroused in a
Massachusetts town as that which found
vent in Hyde Park this week when the
president of the local board Of trade and
editor of the local paper was roundly
denounced in public meeting, then
hooted, hanged in effgy and told to
leave the town. Victor M. We'll was
subjected to all this because in his
capacity as president of the board Of
trade he issued a circular letter appeal
ing to prominent persons in different
parts Of the state to buy tickets for
"charity ball, - the proceeds Of which,
according to his statement, were to be
devoted to taking care of Hyde Park 8
needy poor. He inclosed tickets for
which he asked SIS each, and directed
that all checks be made payable to
him. When the citizens generally dis.
Indignation knew no bounds, and the
selectmen denounced We'll in another
paper. He promptly brought suit against
each for libel, placing the damages at
$4,000. This only served to add fuel
to the flames, but the people of the state
have become convinced that Hyde Park
is able to take care of it's own poor
without appealing for aid from outside.
