Show BRUTAL HUN STRIKES AN AGED MAN The News received the following special dispatch from Lynndyl last week too late for use in that issue: Lynndyl, Utah, March 7, 1918. Considerable excitement was caused within our peaceful city Thursday, March 7, brought about by a German who was employed as chef and manager at the R. R. eating house. This Hun delighted in Insulting those who did not fully concur with him in his German views. It is reported that he was in trouble in Caliente and was moved to Lynndyl, where he took out his vengeance on an old man 70 years of age who was employed as an all-around man at the beanery. The old gentleman gentle-man would not concur with the cowardly Hun so the latter knocked the old man down. When he again got to his feet the aged man was again knocked knock-ed down. There happened to be two or three real gentlemen present and what they did to the Hun was a plenty. He was trimmed nicely and ordered out of town. Later he was arrested and fined $30 and given a limited' limit-ed' time to get out of town. The gentlemen who interceded for the old man were arrested and their case tried before the justice jus-tice court last Saturday. Well known Milford gentlemen vouch for the accuracy of the foregoing fore-going statements of the incident and condemn emphatically the action ac-tion of the chef and any who, calling themselbes American citizens, give aid or comfort to his kind. |
