entire tract of country where lands have been
mortgaged to the railroad compaaies, and en-
braces probably 5000 to 5000 persons. The
organization is secret one, bound together BY
oaths, ana its secrecy is protected BY signs,
grips and passwords. II was FIRST given out

as doubts arise whether any valid legal defense
can be set up to tas foreclosure OF the mort
cages, the spirit of the Home League il
changed and the defense Of the + property by
any and oil means that may become necessary
in the object. We learn from the Beaver Dam
Citizen that at the last meeting Of this "League,
held at Rolling Prairie, few days ago, reso-
luton was passed, declaring virtually that if an
attempt was made to collect these mortgages.

some violent measures, either Tor resisting such
