Only through bit OF cool headedness on
the part of few men in an angry mob of
! 800 persons last Saturday were three Phi q
delphians saved from being strung to tree
| in quick order because Of o report that had
i reached the town to tire effect that they had
attacked Mrs. Cooper Beideman. La the
afternoon this trio Of men, in company with
another Philadelphian, ambled into the
Beideman strawberry patch and began to
munch berries. Spying them from the house

as being members Of the strawberry picking

charge Of trespass they were fined $40
each and allowed to go to Philadelphia.
