Tarred And Feathered

Anp So Tom Cowan wants Redress.

12 Superior Farmers

Will Have to Answer a Summons For An Assault.

A summons has been issued in the circuit court in favor of Thomas Cowan against Perry Townsend, James Finnell, George Robinson, Frank Robinson, Andrew Camm, Frederick Ayler, James Breakey, Bert Galpin, Robert Shankland, James Hamby and Fred Galpin, twelve Superior farmers. This summons is understood to be for damages owing to the tarring and feathering of Cowan for aiding and abetting one Mulholland in beating his wife. At the time of the wife-beating, which was a number of months ago, the good people of Superior were greatly wrought up over the affair. Cowan was caught and tarred and feathered, and Mulholland was threatened with it, but escaped on account of the serious condition of his wife. This summons will bring up the whole matter again.
