Attacked by Whisky Thugs
Superintendent of Oregon League Mar
rOwly Escapes Death

Superintendent of Oregon League Mar
rowly Escapes Death
We take the following from the
Northwestern Christian Advocate:
Tuesday night, February 27, Rev.
Paul RAIDER, state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League of Oregon, was muir
derously assaulted by two men who fol-
lowed him to Salem from Portland,
found out his stopping place, watched
him to inquire the way to the depot.
While he was looking to get the direc-
ton one struck him a terrific blow on
the back of the head, saying 'Take that
for your stool-pigeon work." and the
same instant the other stabbed him just
over the heart with long, sharp knife.
But for the books in the coat pocket
and the leather card case with a num-
ber of personal cards in it, he would
have been killed. The knife went
through his overcoat with a paper in
the side pocket, through the under coat
and all the papers in his left pocket,
and stopped in the card case after cut
ting through the double leather case
and through the first six cards in the
case. Mr.. RAIDER attempted to run down
his assailants, but, as his hand was
badly cut as the knife was withdrawn,
he had to give up the chase after pur-
suing them a block and a half The
criminal character of the saloon is re-
vealed by such murderous attacks. No
crime is too heinous for it's emissaries
if thereby it's life can be prolonged. Mr..
RAIDER is a brave man. He has been
arousing public sentiment in the in
terest of local option and the enforce
ment of law. This was his offense. In
the eyes of saloonists opposition to the
saloon is deserving of death. How much
longer will the American people permit
this criminal and lawless institution to
exist?
