Plan to Rid the Town of
Undesirables.
WEST HAMMOND, ILL., Sept. 4.
Eight men, deposed divekeepers of
West Hammond, wil) 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
feathers.
This startling determination was an
nounced by Miss Virginia Brooks, the
town's Joan of Arc, organizer of the
women's vigilance committee, which
proposes to rid their city forever of
the eight men.
The decision was 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 Rids ’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 towm without the necessity for
the fearful violence that we 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 lias
been recorded.
"And we 50 women will do the work
too. After we have tarred gnad 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 Firearm*.
That the women are sincere in their
determination actually to resort to this
"tar party," if their town is not com
pletely purged within the week, was
proved in the unanimity qf their 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 todnv "' women in
timated, however, t : ouid ini lude
a small display of Li<t. If this fails
to accomplish its purpose, then the
final effort will be made.
