Eight men. deposed divekeepers of
West Hammond, will be ridden out of
town on rails by more than 50 indig
nant women, who first intend to treat
the men to a complete coat of tar and
feat hets. .
This startling determination was an
nounced by Miss Virginia Brooks, the
town's Joan of Arc. organizer of the
woinen's vigilance committee, which
proposes to rid their city forever of
the eight men.
The decision wax reported after it
had been ascertained that several of the
eight resorts recently ordered closed by
the city council of West Hammond
had opened again and were conducting
their business with the apparent cogni
zance of the police department.
Going to Ride 'Em Out.
"We are going to put through a plan
within the next two days." said Miss
Brooke, "that ought to force them all
to leave town without the necessity for
the fearful violence that w<: are ready
to adopt
"If this plan fails, then, as surely
as there has been the vilest of crime
within this city, there will occur with
in the week one of the most elaborate
tar and feather parties that ever has
been recorded
"And we 50 women will do the work
too. After we have tarred anad feath
ered the eight men, we shall ride them
all out of town on a rail. If they dare
to resist us there may be fatal results "
Women Purchase Firearms.
That the women are sincere ui their
determination actually to resort to this
tai party," if their town is not com
pletely purged within the week, was
proved in the unanimity of theif en
thusiasm A number of the women al
ready have obtained firearms. All will
carry revolvers or shotguns upon the
night that the tar party Is held.
The plan that first Is to be tried was
not disclosed today. The women in
timated. however, tliai would Include
a small display of force. If this fails
to accomplish its purpose, then the
final effort will be made.
