Fight with Ku.KIux i'm Illinois.

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 1.-THE Globe Democrat
has special from Benton, Franklin county,
ILL.,, which says that for some time past body
of men disguised in Ku Klux style have been
travelling over the county, whipping peaceable
citizens and compelling them to perform acts
dictated. Up to this time, III both Williamson
and Franklin counties, the citizens have calm
ly submitted to these outrages, but yesterday
j. L. Maddox, one of the county commission
ers, received information that some of the ma
RAIDERS would visit his house and whip BIN
for not obeying the orders they had given bin.
Maddox in'ormed the sheriff, j. 7. Mason,
who summoned twenty men, who secreted
themselves at Maddox's house, well armed.
About o'clock last night the KuKlux, four
teen in number, made their appearance on
horseback disguised in white robes, high white
hats, masked, and armed with shot guns and
pistols The sheriff stepped out when they
came to the house and ordered them to surren-
der The leader of the band drew his pistol
and fired at the sheriff, missing him. The
sheriff and posse then ordered them to halt
when the band fred and, wheeling their
horses, attempted to escape.
The posse fired upon them and MORALLY
wounded one man and injured others, but they
all succeeded In getting away except the man
who was fatally hurt. the names of the 9TH
ers were revealed by the wounded man, who
was captured, and the sheriff and posse are
after them today,
Great excitement prevails, and the citizens
are determined to rid the country of these mid
night marauders.
