J G Alcorn, who survived a shooting attack last month, writes to the Tuam Herald¹ to complain that he had not tried to evict a tenant, as was previously reported. He  tells of notices posted in his locality, attributed to Sinn Fein, threatening anyone who works with him. In the letter, he asks :

Are we living,I ask, in Russia under the Bolshevists, or is this to be our life under Sinn Fein ?
