TICK HOB IST .METHODS. (Received this day at 11.2 d a.m.) NEW YORK, July 12 A telegram from Battle Creek, -Michigan, says a new mystery, involving the terroristic methods of the Ku Klux Klan, is causing discussion and indignation all over the country. Bevereml Oran Yanloon, pastor of a neighbouring community who disappeared on June 3l)th, was found in a street dazed and is now in the hospital, semi-delirious and unable to toll what happened to him, but his right shoukler bears the brand letters K.K.K., two inches high. Yanloon suffers from constant hallucinations, apparently fearing he is being kept for future, nameless tortures. Whenever the door opens to admit a friend lie sirielts, “Don't let them get me,” while the entry of strangers utterly terrorises him. The police arc vainly scouring the countryside and Klan strongholds, but his friends believe tbo Tlan punished Yanloon for soenllci apostacy, in recently attacking see re, societies from the pulpit, whereas he had before permitted Klan gathering! in bis church.
