Mob abducts Ross family and torches ranch in Pacific county

Mrs. Margaret M Ross and her two sons were seized by 15 masked men from a North River valley ranch in a Sunday night attack. The mob fired on the home burned two small buildings and forced the trio across the county line to the McCormack ranch. They were taken to Chehalis county authorities and Governor Lister were informed. Mrs. Ross identified several names among the mob and says the group included her neighbor A M Howard and his sons in law. The family seeks protection as patrols and police aid are discussed with no local sheriff action possible at the Pacific county line. The incident ties to earlier claims of land disputes and alleged claim jumping.
