Aberdeen (SD) Daily News, June 14, 1892, p. 1. NOTE: By all appearances, this was a whitecapping incident. In another newspaper, the same item appeared with a different spelling of the preacher's surname-Van Cleave as opposed to Van Cleve. WHIPPED THE PREACHER Rev. Mr. Van Cleve Given 40 Lashes by an Indiana Mob Corydon, Indiana, June 14-Twelve masked men broke down the door of the Rev. T. B. Van Cleve, seven miles from town, and taking the preacher out into his yard, tied him to a tree and beat him unmercifully, giving him 40 blows on his bared body with hickory rods. Mr. Van Cleve came to town and swore out warrants against eight well known citizens of the community. They were arrested and the hearing was set for next Saturday. The preacher's pulpit utterances of late have caused much strife, and not long ago a circular denouncing him was circulated in the neighborhood. It is alleged, too, that he was the cause of the separation of a man and his wife.
