TAR AM) FEATHERS Used by a Whole Town on Four Women and One Man Out In Michigan Because They Would Not Bt have Themselves After Being Warned. "I've run 'J ckoy Corners' for thirty years, and I'm going to keep on running it just about as I please,1' said old Goorge Simosou, Civil War veteran, when other farmers of the vicinity of Fowlervllle, Mloh., sug OP.rfcaln far t amH nt CLlC C'wQl iUUfiltA . Thereupon the protesting farmers hold council with tholr wives, and shortly ' J ockfcy Corners" was the moonlit scene of one (f those weird and semi Ravage ceremonies which >elcom occur exc po In remote rural neighborhoods. I i this Instance the hustling town of Fuwlervtlle Is closel} ldeiitilied with the affair. As a result, Veteran George Simp son Is "rampaitfln1 " around threatenIng Iwavy damage suits aKalnst half a d' z >n young farmers, while his house Weeper ore young woman guest and his former wife, who dwelt nearby, are In the care < f doctors whose c ilef task la to overcome the effects of a recent coat of l.ar and fimt.h.MM This is one of those cases where the law was u.jable to make up Ds mind that 1'.8 majesty had been (fTinded. Accordingly the law was appealed to m vain to "clean up" "Jockey Corners." Old George Simpson's remark quoted above was well calculated to strengthen neighborhood suspicions that, the convivial doings at tiis house were prejudicial to the interests of strict morality at ' Jockey Corners " Tne veteran Is a bout sxty-Hve years old anu quite a stubborn o^araot^r. A few yt&rs ago Simpson and his wife w 're divorced. Tne same proceedings divided the Simpson proper uy, a h use and Unroot 11 acres of land falling to the share of the wife, while Simpson retained the homestead ano twenty seres. This I omesti ad is at the juncture of two highways, and, owing 10 the general sporting pruollvit.ies of old George Simpson, came to be known afc "J.iokey Corners " Divorced persons are not socially popular rround about "Jockey Corners."

In net, It was only three days after Mis? Em mi n%'s arrival that the stifthi g crisis occurred. All day ;here wsv suppressed cxelt ruent at a di v. m farmhouses where the In licence of "Jockey Corners" was felt. Several of the younger men visited eacu utuer Oisually. co.. f rrlng with each other mysteriously wnlle pretending to he cximining wh other s live stock. i j Lue arieraoon 'ho uews was carried about tuat Simpson and Mr.?. El ilott? bis housekeeper, had driv n Into town, l)ut would be baoK in the early evening. Ti?y had Iffo toe two young women at home. It wan further sign! flcanlv mentioned that the former Mrs. Simpson >->as at home in her own house a short distance away across the titldH. On the road to Fowlervllle, a short, distance from the Simpson hi use, there is a grove wh re a small stream is crossed by a wooden bridge. When horses and vehicles cross this bridge there is always a clattering on the loose planks that can be heard for a quartef of a mile. Soon after dusk a farmer driving a light wagon In which there were sevoral bundles and something covered with a horse blanket turned his horse slleotly into the gro/e by the bridge and hitched it to a tree. Presently he was Joined by two more who had arrived on foot. Then came others, singly and In pairs. All disappeared among the trees and made no noise that oould be audible to any one in the road. They busied themselves In taking sr Holes frum the light wagon and in on wrap log tbe con tan to of the bundles. Suddenly the oun In the grove has'ened their mys'erw us preparation , fur there fell upon their ears the clatter of wsgi n wheels on the bridge. It wan Simpson driving home from ow. B-side 01 dq was the housekeeper, Mrs. E liott, and on the rear sear van a y uug mai of such high standing In the community that his nam* )8S been mentioned only iu whispers, nd only among those who knjw blm Tne Simpson team was t.ired and was proceeding at a walk Just as the wsgon rolled ctT the bridge the n'gh horh? i-nort.ed and shied. "G'ddat !'* said Simpson. T re next instant both horses were snorting, but the wagon was at & standstill In the road. Two men with their heads and shoulders swathed In white, with holes through whioh their eyes gleamed, were at the horses' brl dies, while a dozen others, similarly ii^guls^d surrounded the wagon Mrs Elliott screamed Simpson lashed out. savagely with his wh'p. The young man on the rear seat j imped over thf wagon's tailboard, eluded the hands stretched out to capture him, and sped down the road, escaping In the gloom. "Get cut!" commanded the leader Of the white cans The housekeeper obeyed, trembling with fear, and was hsized by one of the wbHe caos. "You'll si ITer for thlH," and Simpson, ashing . ut with ills whip again H's wnlp was torn from his grasp A dczan hands reached up and tore hira from liis seat and tlung him to the ground. The Slmpnon team was hitched to a tree beside the road. The woman was half carried into the grove. It required the united strength of half the party of white caps to follow with the struggling, wiry old "Boss cf Jockey Corners " When Simppon finally succumbed and sat sullenly qule., on the ground four other white caps suddenly appeared, two half carrying two fright ened girls?Miss Oliver and Miss Em moos?while the other two escorted the former M *s. Simpson. At sight of the slender, verv youth ful and delicate-looking Miss Emmons the leaders of the white caps withdrew to a little distance and conversed earnestly. On their return to the main group they whispered to one of | the older members of the party, who to >k the young girl silently by the band and h;d her away. It was afterward learned that this 'firmer carried out bis instructions to fnamed ately escort Miss Emmons oaog to h->r home at G >wen. The "Boss of Jockey Corners" and the women in the hands of the white naps were not long left in doubt ahou the fate that awalteH th* m. Ne vrl y hung a kettle ove^ a tire of iry branches and in it bubbled a dark, viscid substance wnose smell left no doub' zs to its character. It was ordinary oui'ders' tar. "You ttendt!"' shrieked the former Mrs. S.mos'in to the mtu who were ..earing off her uoper garments, whi.e others were half stripping Simpson and other women, "i know now why vou stole my pillows.

Wh' n the tar kettle was empty and the v ctirr.s were thoroughly coated with L h si, cky bubs aooe. Mrs. Simp sou's pillows were rlnpi.d < pr.n and r?hetr tl ?fiy oontantH snrlnkl. d t.itnkll iver a I the tar-covered shoulders. Toward the last of the oerf inuDy ihe v 1 Ite caps threw di c etion t<> ;ihe winds. They obliged S'trpson with his alleged (ffences, naming the vonerj as his confederates. N >t satis ried with the costume of tar and 'cathers, th-y kicked sand over the unfortunates. Then, %h though fren/.led by the spirit of cruelty vUlloh ruo.i them, they began crying out for furthi r vengeance. ' Lot's ride them on a rail," said one. '"Lvnoh them!" exclaimed another. 'Tie them to the tailboard of my wagon ana let me drag them through the town," snid anothcr. But at last wiser counsels prevailed. The miserable obj.ots of their vange-inoe were dragged into the road oy the white caps and ordered to "Sklddol" which they did?and tho avengers of tho honor of "Jockey Corners" separated ani disappeared. Probably only those who have been unfortunate enough to be victim-* of a tar and featheis ceremony appreciate the serious consequences of suoh treatment. la mote than one case the result has been death. The coat of tar, which hermetically seals the pores of the skin, can be removed only by the persistent use of the right chemicals. iii tne meantime, the vlotim buffers | from & raging fever, whioh oan be con I trolled only by restoring the skin to it* normal condition. When the entire body has been coated with tar the danger is proportionately greater. In this case, happily for the victims, only the up per p*rt of the body was so ooated. The former Mrs. Sim paon went home and endeavored to remove the tar with kerosene, whioh only made It worse. She managed to get to Fowlervllle that night, where dootors took her is hind Two days later, though still In a miserable plight, she was abl* to travel to the home of her son at Farmlngton. Miss Oliver Is believeved to hi v * renlaced her dress waist over the tar coat and to have goaa as spaedlly as possible to her home at Go wen. The action of Simpson and bis housekeeper was more radioal and bel.tgereot. When the la*t of the white caps had disappeared they reseated themselves in the Simpson wagoo and drove to Howell, tue county seat. There, after obtaining medical attentl >n, they called on Snerltl Pratt and Prosecuting Attorney Greaa. They weieslok and dt.j?oted, but they made formal om plaints against several of the "Jockey Corners" farmers Later Simps >n til -ei damage suits auainst four or Hve of his neighbors, demanding $10 000 In eaoh case. Put public opinion In the neighborhood Is strong for the white caps? whoever they may be. Every farmer for miles around wears an air of innocence while warmly commending their action. The women folk, while lamntlng the scandal of It all, declare that the measures taken were neoes ary, Inasmuch as It seemed impossible to take legal action against the alleged elf inders. N it only has Simpson employed prominent attorneys of Lansing, the capital of the State, to prosecute hl? civil suits, but he has made a oerson ii Hpp-al to the G .veruor for tlie arrest and punishment of Ids assailants And there the matter stands. Who i* there who will supply the necessary evidence to oonvlot, and who besides the victims themselves will sutll -lent ly Idcutify the defendants ss tne men who actually participated In the tar and feathers ceremony? For the p-esent, at, least, the obnoxious pstahllshment. at "Jockey Cor hers" Is broken up. Simpson occupies his house alone, the housokceter hav- i log left his e nploy. Tho iNV\vH|)(i)or.
