Two Young Girls Tarred And Feathered

A most terrible outrage was perptetrated at the village of Oakwood, Paulding- county, O., by whitecaps upon two girls, Edith and May Roberts, aged 19 and 17 years. The girls had retired to their room early in the evening and were awakened by a band of 8 or 10 men entering: and them from their beds in their night robes. They vvere taken to the near-by road. where they were terribly whipped and the whitecaps then g-ave them a coat of tar and feathers and took them baek to the house, where they were found uuconscious the next morning. May, the young-est of the two girls, is in a critical condition, her flesh being- cut to the bone by the whips. A card 10 names was found tacked to the front door, but none of the names are known about that place, and there is no other clue.
