Mrs. Nation's Latest Smash

Mrs. Carrie Nation, who has devoted herself to the business of wrecking Kansas saloons, met with the strongest opposition she has yet encountered at Enterprise Thursday. The attacking party was headed by Mrs. John Schilling, whose husband's saloon was destroyed by the wrecking party Wednesday. Mrs. Schilling carried a heavy whip, which she used to good effect on Mrs. Nation and members of her party. Mrs. Nation was knocked off her feet and rolled in the gutter. When she got loose from the attacking party, Mrs. Nation managed to rally her forces and drove the other faction from the street.
