Women the Victims of Whitecaps.

Muneie, Ind., Feb. 28. —Mrs. Manila Hamilton, 35, alleges that four masked men entered her house near Granville Monday night and beat her and her aged mother, Mrs. Eliza Graham, into insensibility. She swore out warrants for the arrest of Albert Sherry, Walter Berry, Elmer Ball and Rollie Wright, charging them with the crime. One of the men is justice of the peace in the township. It is thought Mrs. Hamilton is injured internally and may not recover. This is the first whitecap case for this county, and the prominence of the people concerned has caused much excitement, and further trouble is expected in that city, as the women have hundreds of sympathizers.
