Anti-Saloon Man Egged.
A nasty report comes from Ashton
to tlie effect that while Rev. Carnes,
superintendent of the state anti
saloon league, was delivering a lecture
there Monday evening, four men.
whose names are now in possession of j
the county attorney, did the hoodlum ,
act in the meeting, dist rbing it by j
loud talk, nagging the speaker, throw- ■
ing peanut shells. Hashing a quart
bottle of whiskey and drinking from
the same publicly, and nearly break
ing up the meeting by their acts, and
at tlu* ciose, when the speaker was
going home with Mr. and Mrs.
Hunker, these same men threw lien
fruit of unknown age at them. The
names of these men have been hand
ed the Northwestern, tint we prefer
not disclosing same till we learn what
action, if any. may lie taken in the
matter. The facts above, if true,
make the occurrence an everlasting j
disgrace to the name and fame of our '
lair little villrge on the eastern slope!
of the county.
