Zion Elder Fockler Mobbed on Return to Mansfield
Cyrus B. Fockler Zion elder faced a crowd of about 5000 in Mansfield Ohio after returning from Chicago by Dowie order.

He escaped a week earlier, has been accused of inciting followers and taking money, and Dowie warned he could be expelled from the Zion church if he did not return home.
