rHEOMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 21, 1918. 7 A VOMAN APPLIES BIG WHIP WHILE PRO-GERMAN HELD Aged Husband of Avenger, Who Has Son in Army, Had Been ' Mistreated oy the Kalserites. Grand Island, Neb., July 20. 'Special Telegram.) Indignities and taunts visited upon an elderly man and his 17-year-old son at Ravenna by pro-Germans of a Burlington sec ' tion crew, caused the formation of a mob at that place which took into ' hands the offenders and haled them before the mother and wife of the injured man and son and held them up while the woman gave all but two a lashing with a heavy horsewhip until they cried "kamerad." The two who escaped were later caught and brought back to Ravenna and in tun also given a thrashing. The chastised men were then made to kneel and kiss the American flag. It is impossible at this hour to ob- tain the names of the avengers or of the offending men, who are stated to be of German descent. The aged man who was mistreated with his young son is said to be an unoffending per son who is forced to work on the section since a son who was the main support of the family has gone to war. The pro-German workmen made the old man and his son butts of practical "jokes,", as they termed the alleged treatment, when the father was taken to a farm home and at tired in dresses procured there and then held in mud and water wlyle the boy was thrown into the river, where he was rescued by passersby. Then it was that a mob of jndignant citi zens gathered and prepared the way for the wife and mother to inflict punishment with a horsewhip upon the hides of kaiser admirers.
