WOMAN CLAIMS THAT
HUSBAND and RENTER
BEAT HER WITH WHIP
Two Alleged Assailants Under
Arrest-Reason For Action
Not Brought Out.

Bruno. S. D., May S.-Henry Platt
and G. Baker have beef placed under
arrest here on the charge OF brutally
whipping Mrs. Plat with a black
snake" whip. Baker is a renter on the
S0-acre farm left to Mrs. Platt by her
former husband, and ON which the
Plat and Baker families have been re-
siding. The case is a very unusual one
and promises TO be quite sensational.
So far the local authorities have not
given out the inside reasons for the
abusive treatment, although " Is as
sumed they are advised on that point.
The woman in the case, who alleges
such brutal treatment, formerly was
the wife of Knute Erickson. n farmer
living near Bruce, who died about a
year ago. Erickson left his widow so
acres OF valuable farm land. She aft
erward married Henry Platt and the
farm was rented to g. Baker, n OF
the defendants in the criminal action,
and Baker and his wife and Platt n
his wife lived together on the farm.
For reasons which yet are a mys-
terry, II is charged the two men some
weeks ago commenced treating Mrs.
Plat in a brutal manner and finally
commenced whipping her, using. a
"blacksnake" whip. 1t is charged that
when examined by physicians in the
presence OF the county authorities, her
body was found to be covered with
welts and bruises.
1t is further charged that the two
men on several occasions locked the
woman In a room in the house and
made her a prisoner to prevent her
from running away. Finally she sue
ceeded In making her escap inc came
to Bruce. .
Great indignation was aroused
among the citizens when she recited
her story OF alleged brutal treatment,
and the arrest of her alleged torment
ors soon followed. They were taken
into custody by the sheriff and remain
in his charge pending their prelim-
mary hearing, being unable to furnish
bonds.
