Pine Village Section Laborer Gets In Bad.

Pine Village, Ind., April 27.—A state, of excitement existed here last Thursday night when it became known that a section Laborer named Hudson, had been making alleged threatening remarks against President Wilson. It was ch ciliated about town that Hudson had said “President Wilson ought ■to be shot through the heart; had ought to be assassinated.” The story so incensed the loyal residents that a posse was formed and headed by Olaiie Rhode, manager of the famous Pine Village football team, marched to the house where Hudson is Staying and surrounded it. The sheriff Of Warren county was then called from Williamsport. The sheriff and Mr. Rhode held an interview with Hudson. The man was raised in Kentucky and is without education. It was found that because of has ignorance he should be-excused but was warned that more remarks such as he te alleged to have made would not be tolerated. Hudson 'has been working on the section of the C. & E I. railroad and is laving with a family named Partins. The Pine Village episode is only one of the many that are happening over the country every day. One day last week Judge Anderson in the federal court at Indianapolis fined an American citizen of German descent, $5,000 and sentenced him to the penitentiary for one year for threatening the life of the president. Unde Sam don’t 'believe m any monkey 'business, especially when the country is at war and the only safe policy is to boost for your country or keep your mouth shut.
