Use tar and feathers
Creator: McPherson Daily Republican
Date: April 23, 1918
This article published in the McPherson Daily Republican details the tarring and feathering of D.A. Diener and George Cooprider. Diener and Cooprider, both German Americans, were accused of disloyal speech. As a result, a mob traveled to the Cooprider home in Groveland Township, and tarred and feathered Cooprider after his father refused to buy Liberty Bonds unless the government forced him to. Following the assault on Cooprider, the mob traveled to Diener's home in Spring Valley and applied "the same treatment" to him after he admitted to removing an American flag from the church he attended.
