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*.

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.
