May Be Lynched

Sergent, Ky., Aug. 29.- Great excitement prevails on the Virginia side of the Cumberland mountains east of this place over a White Cap outrage. Monday night White Caps went to the home of Martha White, a well known woman, aged 65 years, pulled both her anJ her 20-year-old daughter from their beds, and, taking them to a patch of woods near their home, tied them to trees and beat them most brutally. They were finally rescued by a nelghbor. They are both alive, but are not expected to survive their injuries. A posse of twenty men, headed by Sheriff Holbrook of Wise county, is scouring the Cumberland mountains for the perpetrators, and if c.iught the whole party will likely be lynched.
