HORSEWHIPPED.
Manager of Bowling Alley Received Chastisement at the Hands of the Proprietors Wife.
Mr. Wright, the manager of Geo. Miller's bowling alley, last Friday evening received a horsewhipping at the hands of Mrs. Miller. Her grievance was that Mr. Wright had furnished her husband with liquor, contrary to his welfare and the laws of the state. The incident created considerable excitement, but Mrs. Miller's course is unanimously commended. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were converted the Sunday meetings and are making heroic efforts to tread the straight and narrow path, and Mrs. Miller naturally resents the placing of temptation in her husband's way.
