Tarred and Feathered
Huntington, Ind., Sept. 18.—Joseph A. Wildman,
a United Brethren minister, was tarred and feathered by a crowd of 100 because
on Sunday night he rose in prayer meeting in one of the churches and said:
“I suppose there have been more lies told from
the pulpit and sacred desk today than were ever known before. While I want to
give all honor that is due Mr. McKinley, still when he was living he was nothing
but a political demagogue.”
Wildman has no regular charge.
