Mother Whips “Masher.”

Muncie, April 12. —“Hello, there, kiddo.” remarked D O. Atherton, a telegrapher, to a pretty young girl talking along an uptown street with her mother. “So you’re a masher?” said the mother, and the next minute she struck Atherton with an umbrella. He was arrested, but the police refused to give the names of the daughter and mother. A heavy fine was imposed on Atherton. He offered an apology to the girl and her mother, but they refused to accept. He said that he was drunk at the time.
