BY MATR0NS

Hudson. Mich. April b--Fifteen young
women and four men, whose names the
police say are unknown 20 them. tarred
and feathered Mrs. May Post Monday
night.
Mrs Post had been living in the Retain
building alone a part of the time. and
at times with an older woman. Well
known men frequented the Retain block
since Mrs. Post took UP her residence
there. and this gave rise to scandal.
Complaints made to the police were un-
needed. and some young married women
advised Mrs Post by letter that she bet
ter leave the city. No attention was
paid to this except that a man supposed
to he her husband suddenly appeared on
the scene.
Late on Monday night. after the streets
were deserted. fifteen women and four
men all said 10 be prominent In the city,
appeared at the door OF Mrs. Posts quar-
ters and gained admission. They did
not hesitate 10 make their errand known.
and when the stranger tried to interfere
the men OF the party ordered him 10 go
into another room and keep quiet.
The women then compelled Mrs. Post
To remove some OF her garments. Des-
pite her pleadings, they applied thick
coat OF tar which they had brought along
and then sprinlSled an abundance Of
feathers on top OF that.
They then departed with n warning that
IL the rooms were not deserted within
IS hours worse treatment would be in
store. Mrs. Post disappeared.
