Flirted With Husbands.

 Cant we?" was the reply. stay and you'll see"
 The girl, who is very pretty, is said to have been flirting with several mar ried men in the village, and this start ed the trouble. An appeal was made to the authorities, who, in turn, urged the girl to leave, but when she did not the women took the case into their own hands.
 Before it was certain the sisters had left the village, which has about 100 population, women stoned the house of their father.
 Public indignation became apparent first several weeks ago when women requested the town officials to take a 9-year-old daughter from the family and place her in a charitable institu- tion. To prevent this separation of the family the second oldest, later the vic tim of tarring, left town, but returned a few days ago.
