Clay County Enterprise, Brazil, Indiana, May 9, 1888, p. 4. About 40 whitecaps called at the home of W. H. Toney at English, Crawford County, on the Air Line Road on Tuesday night, dragged him to a telegraph pole and tied and whipped him unmercifully with hickory withes. Blood was splattered about the telegraph pole, and the man's body was lacerated in a horrible manner. He begged piteously. His recovery is doubtful. He is a prominent citizen of that county and is a man of considerable means. He has a wife and family. The charge against Toney was drunkenness and abuse of his family.
