Webster City. Aug. 80. Following a

Mormon preachers. who were attempt

of angry men. They were forced to
leave on foot and got away none too
soon to prevent q pitched battle be-
tween the vigilance committee and the
handful Of Mormon supporters.
. Trouble began to brew in the after
noon upon the arrival IN town Of the
Mormon missionaries. Some months
ago the women Of Kamrar had decided
to permit no attempt to teach Nor.
monism in the town. The minute it be-
came known that Morn,ons were in
town and expected to hold street meet
ings determined opposition developed.
Several OF the prominent business men
went quietly to the missionaries and
told them the women Of the town were
deterined they should not speak. The
men were urged strongly to leave on
the evening train and make NO attempt
to hold q meeting.

carrying out their plans quietly, but
none the less eenctively. Just before
the street meeting started, a represent
tative woman OF the town went to the
Mcrmons and warned them that II they
wished to avoid scene and trouble.
they better desist from the meeting
and take the evening northbound train
out Of town. The missionaries refused,
however. and started their meeting.

Mormon sympathysier sought to break
up the demonstration by tl1roWing wat
er on the women. A majority Of the
men present resented this and the two
factions clashed In general melee
The anti-Mormons proved the stronger
and, signaling the women to cease their
noise. they took matters into their own
hands in manner firm, but most eff
fective.a Blows were atruck,( but soon
the anti. Mormon faction was In com.

sionaries and, using force. insisted on
them leaving town at once. It was the
only thing they could do and once they
were released. they took to their heels.
The mob then dispersed, the people re-
turning quietly to their homes.
