Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 206, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 August 1910 — Mob For Carrie Nation. [ARTICLE]

Mob For Carrie Nation.

Carrie Nation was all but mobbed in Hammond Friday night when she called Germans murderers, wifebeaters and other uncomplimentary things. In a lecture on “Life's Duties,” she upbraided them as being responsible for saloons. Saturday morning she took a southbound train at Hammond and was greeted by a jeering crowd of Germans, who assailed her. She replied by calling the Germans dive-keepers and wife-beaters. A comely German woman attempted to defend her nationality and while a dozen men started for Mrs. Nation the train pulled out and a dangerous riot was averted.
