HE SLASHED A WHITE CAP
Evansville, Ind., Dec. 5-A cutting affray occurred at Mauckport, Ind.,
Wednesday that will prove fatal. The trouble grew out of an old grudge
caused by the work of the White Caps in that locality nearly a year ago in
which Thomas Neely was visited and severely flogged. A man known as "Buff"
Watson was accused of being one of the band of White Caps who administered
the punishment. Neely met Watson for the first time since the matter
occurred. Neely took out his knife and stabbed Watson three times in the
left breast and twice in the abdomen.
