MINGo JUNCTION, o., Aug. a.
The greatest sensation that Mingo has
experienced for a number Of years was
that when Mrs. Clarence Grimes pub
licly norsewhlpped Mrs. Bessie u
strom because she is alleged to have
allenated the affections Of tha for,
mer's husband. A number of petsons
witnessed the horsewhipping but no.
body lifted a hand to stop Mrs.
Grimes.
The trouble between the two VIC
men has been brewing for the past
three years, but Mrs. Grimes was IN
able to secure any positive evidence
that Mrs. Ulstrom was the woman
with whom her husband said he was
in love. But recently there fell into
her hands a letter to Grimes mother
signed "Bess;s and telling Of her love
for Grimes. That letter was what
Mrs. Grimes had long been wanting.
She secured a horsewhip and went
out to lay in wait for Mrs. UlstNom,
the alleged destroyer of her home.
On Commercial avenue, Mingo's
principal thoroughfare, the women
met. without any preliminary cere-
mony Mrs. Crimes started to WELD the
whip. She applied the lash a Number
of times on Mrs. Ulstrom's neck and
the woman was not serious.

Mr.. Grimes Is we'll known in Mlngo

city clerk OF Mingo, and Tor mum

office that he and Mrs. Eastcnn be-
came acquainted, where she was also

this section Of the country some time
ago and is said to have gone to Da-
kota, where he intends to establish a
legal residence and sue FOR divorce.

wife in the local courts, hny he did not

The letter which caused the fracas
was a most loving one. 1t addresses
Grimes mother as "My Darling Moth

Clarence. She implies tat at some
time she expects to be his wife.
