Article Text: Whitehall, Wis., Nov. 25.--A report reaches here tonight that there is great excitement in the town of Preston, seven miles from here, over a lynching which occurred last night. Hans Jacob OLSEN was taken out by a mob of men, some of whom were masked, and hanged to a tree, where his body was found this morning. It is not known definitely what he had done to bring him to such a fate, but the rumor here is that he had committed an atrocious murder. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WI-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
