the one that had the most check of any Of US,

OF Gov. Brown calling out the militia i'm Dun

tant General Sigel by Captain woog, who was
sent to investigate the condition OF affairs in

denied by any citizen in Stoddard county that
there exists an organized band Of men in that
county called by some "kuklux" and by others
dead Men" This band is composed of six
companies, each fifty strong, with a captain in
command. Captain Woog further states that
this organization was first intended for political
purposes and that some influential citi zens of the
county either became members of the organiza-
ton or countenanced the same; but that the or
ganizaton is now nothing but band Of horse
thieves, robbers and murderers opposed to all
who are in favor Of enforcing the law. be they
democrats or republicans, and for whose con-
duct no political party ought to be held respOni-
Die. The band Is said TO be composed mainly OF
