D.. are lying wounded and bruised in their beds as the result of a remarkable light Sunday afternoon with saloon men. A crusade was made against the blind pigs of Kolia under the auspices of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, and Sunday was the day set for the securing of evidence upon which to base prosecutions. A commit! ee was appointed to make the circuit of ihe joints, and it marched bravely up the street followed by two-thirds of the female population of the town. The first pig they came to was presided over by Lin Bush. He attempted to prevent the entrance of the females, but they were not to be stopped by trifles. Bush was tossed to one side, and for the first time women stood within the precincts of a North Dakota prohibition di#e. An inventory of stock was begun, and several bottles of “hop tea” and several of “XXX porter” were seized. While in the midst of their explorations Landlord Bush returned with assistance and soon the air was full of animated femininity. When the women gathered themselves up out of the street several were bleeding from brutal blows and all were disfigured. They threaten dire vengeance.
