GIBSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE.

GIBSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE.
A squad of Federal troops, stationed
at Humboldt, Tennessee, started from
that place on Thursday night, armed
with warrant from the United States
marshal of the Memphis district, and
at Pickettsyille, in Gibson county, ar
rested six persons, supposed to be I'm
plicated in the recent negro killing 81
fair at Trenton, Tennessee. The pris 4.
oners were taken to Humboldt aud
there imprisoned. Of course the six
suspected citizens protest their inno-
eeuce, and their protestations may be
the truth but it is safe to conclude
that whenever you scratch Gibson
county man you show the skin Of law
less fellow
Gibson has an unenyiable reputation.
During the civil war it was overrun
by guerrilas claiming allegiance to
both the Southern armies. They stole
horses and other property and INDUCED
in the pastime of cutting throats.
After the war the thieves Of Gibson
continued their work in the range
of country embracing Gibson, Dyer,
Madison, Upton and McNairy coun.
ties. Led by one Bud Evans they in.
augurated a reign of terror. People,

Avalanche, were torn from their shrek.
ing wives and children, and were shot
down and left b. the road side, often
not being allowed time to say single
prayer, and for no known ofIeuse.
Finally, the citizens became so exas.
pera;ed that they could bear it no
longer, and during the summer of 1865
party of some forty or more, headed
by former army captain, went forth
to search for the rascaIs. Bud Evans
aud three others, Evans, his kinsman,
a man named Fox, another named Stall
lions, with twelve more, we're taken in
quick succession by the captain and his
followers, and all we're put to death
without trial or delay. Evans, the
leader, when first taken and chained,
threatened dire vengeance upon his
,aptors, and said his turn for ven
5eancc would yet come. The captain
replied to mis- threat that when he got
through he would not be in condition
o seek revenge on anyone. As Bud
vent forth to execution, seeing his time
lad come, he begged and plead for a
hort delay wished his wife sent for,
nd asked time to say his prayers. lie
vas told through his long career he had
dispatched many of his fellows without
mercy, granting them no time for
rayers or anything. The same he had
leted - his kind would in return be
ztended to him, and he was executed.
This action broke up the outlaws
