the badness being done by the
sssmbers of the ring. He believ
ed this state of affaire was detri
mental to the beet interests of
the people as awboleaud be«tsr
ted in to break up the ring.
Then the persecutions against
him began; the merchants and
other businee m*u withdrew their
advertising patronage; reports
P* brutality to his wile and chil
dren were circulated; atteuips
were made to injure his credit;
he was expelled from the
Masonic' fraternity on talas
