WHAT WERE THEY 7

Some fifteen or twenty beings of some kind on
horseback made their appearance in this place
about II o'clock On Friday night last. They
passed through some of the principal streets OF
the town. We did not see them, but others did.
1t is supposed that they must have belonged to q
Ku-Klux-Klan. They appeared mysteriously,
and disappeared in manner equally mysterious.
We have not heard that they molested any one.
They seem to have been perfectly harmless. We
do not pretend to be able to account for them
We know nothing of them. In respect to them
we are emphatically ''know-nothings."
