Of Those Who TarFed And
Feathered Clark
ASS4ILANTS INTOXICATED
Was One Report Current Tuesday
Woman Accused OF Poisoning
Hogs Makes Clark A Whole
sale Liar-Township
Aroused

Sheriff Woolison stated Tuesday
that no arrests would be made for
several days in the case of Samuel
Clark, Jackson township farmer, who
was smeared with tar and feathers
Saturday night by seven masked men
and then given the alternative of leav-
ing the country within ten days or be-
ing hanged
1t was reported to The Banner
Tuesday that the mysterious assail-
ants of Clark were rather the worse
Saturday for indulgence in liquor or
else they would not have handled
Clark as they did.
In talk which a representative of
The Banner had Tuesday morning
with the Jackson township lady whom
Clark accused of having poisoned his
hogs, which incident is regarded as
giving rise indirectly to the assault
made on Clark, it was stated that the
entire southern portion of Jackson
township is up in arms over the af-
fair and is determined that Clark
must leave for other parts with speed.
The lady stated that she had never
even been on the Clark farm and that
his accusation were merely one of a
pack of lies he had circulated con-
corning neighbors ever since he
moved to Knox from Coshocton coun-
ty.
She further added that Clarks pres
ent wife is very anxious to rid her
self of him and on Monday stated that
she was afraid to live with him. Mrs.
Clark spent the day, it is said, away
from home on account of fear of her
husband.
Sheriff Woolison and Deputy Sher-
iff Mossholder plan to make more
complete investigation of the affair
before any arrests are made. They
will visit the locality which was the
scene of the affair and carefully ex-
anime all neighbors who might know
something concerning it.
