TRY TO CREMATE JOINTIST.
Mob at Dodson, Mo., In Name of Law and Order Commits Arson. Kansas City, Oct. 28.óA mob composed of persons supposed to be members of a law and order league, burned to the ground a joint at Dodson, Mo., about fifteen miles south of this city, early this morning. The joint was occupied by F. F. McReynolds and the mob believed that he was in the building. Its member surrounded the place armed with rifles, shotguns and pistols. They poured kerosene liberally on the frame structure and applied a torch to It, and it was soon
totally destroyed. The burning of the building follows a bitter fight that has been made on the joints of that district. McReynolds was not in the building, having been warned of approaching danger. He had fled to Kansas City. Several joints in the township have been closed and their keepers arrested.
