SIX INDIGNANT WOMEN
Lashed Gus splitz Saturday Night
With Buggy Whips and Gave
HIM Over to the Police.

The old whipping post form of
punishment was revived in Mitchell
Saturday night when five or six
women exasperated beyond all en-.
durance applied the lash to the
shoulders of Gus S1litz, a tailor by
trade, who has been causing any
amount Of disturbance over on the
south side during the two years he
has resided there. Notwithstanding
the fact that Splitz is on the black
list at all the saloons In the city
somebody supplies him with liquor
on which to get drunk periodically.
Saturday afternoon he went home
drunk and caused a great deal OF
disturbance among the neighbofs,
accostinR people o" the sidewalk
when they went by and In various
ways markings things unpleasant. Il
has been the custom Of Splitz, when
be went home drunk. to attack tho
members OF his family, particularly
his wife and daughter, both OF whom
carry marks as a result Of hi
violence. Saturday he threatened
to kill his people, and, it is reported.
he struck his daughter a vicious
blow.
Along in the evening a halt dozen
women consulted together over the
situation that confronted them
They had talked before of what they
were going to do II Splitz cams
home drunk again. but they failed
to do 1t, and they thought tho
time bad come for them to act.
While Splitz raj out in the yard tia
women made the p~recipitate move
ment. While one or two talked 70
him the others walked up behind
him and In about a minute they hSd
his hands and feet tied with rope,
which they had taken along. They
then produced the buggy whips. and
commemorate lay on the LASH with an
the vigor they had at their COM
nand. AS the blows were laid across
his shoulders Spiltz laughed at tho
efforts Of the women. for 1t vas
causing him but little pain. The
wolnen wished for the strength OF .
nan when applying the buggy whips
After about e%xhausting themselves
they picked Splitz up and carried
him in the house and placed him
on the couch with the intention
OF returning later, when he bad
become sobered, and give him a good
talking to. The police officers we're
sent for about 10 O'Clock to take
Splitz to Jail, and one OF the women
intimated that she did not think
Splitz had enough of a hogginR yet.
a nd the officer, told her to give
Tim some more. She acted on tho
suggestion aud laid about a dozen
welts across his back that did not
seem to have any more effect than
the others.
The officers took Splitz OF to Jail
and Monday morning he vas brought
up before Justice Markham. Gus
pleaded guilty to the charges that
we're filed against him Of being drunk
and oisorderly and the court imposed
a sentence Of en- days at hard labor
on the streets. This will have Z
tendency to keep bin quiet for the
time heing.
The neighbors over there feel very
sorry indeed for the rest Of the
family, who are regarded as very nice
people. The women who participated
In the whipping bee do not regret
their act, for they feel that they
have been imposed upon for 90 long
by the actions Of Splitz that Trey
felt justified In taking those meas
ur''.
