lincolnshire" Suggests Jolly Lynchinq

EVANSTON, ILL.-There used to be
a. kind that inspired such pep that
a RABBIT would walk up and spit In a
bulldogs eye. The nowadays kind
makes the drinkers plumb looney.
Anyway, a lynching party was inter
rupted by Policeman Robert McCaull,
right here in the City Of Churches.
The intended victim escaped without
thanking his resCuer,
The four arrested are George Logan,
Donald Stewart, Charles Butler and
William Miller, all Of Evanston.
According to the story McCaull
gathered from the dlsjointed remarks
OF the men, they had been sitting by
the road singing, laughing, telling
stories, and occasionally taking a nip
from bottle. A man passed driving
wagon. They invited him to have
drink. The passerby stopped, got
down, and had drink. Then he had
more.
About the rest McCaull cannot be
sure. He believes one of the men sug-
gested a game Of Cowboy" Another
mentioned Ku KluI Khan, and the Idea

The reporter asked her questions.
Then he fOunq the man, after long
