Description
Still Moving. - - Some people from Beverly or elsewhere heard there was a trifling white man living in "Happy Hollow", Platte City, with a Negro woman. Last Friday night a lot of these people came to town and visited the said white man and his black companion.
They called the white man outdoors, hit him 25 lashes, well laid-on, and gave him 15 minutes to get up and git. He got.
The next morning he passed by a farm house about 6 miles south of town, told the farmer of his midnight adventure, and continued on his way. He said there was a mob of 500 men well armed with Winchesters, ropes, and pitch-forks and he was glad to escape with his life. He is still going.Date(s) of Creation
