occurred near Spring Creek, Madison
county, few days since. j. Il. Fus-

one and wounded another, we under

One of our Kenton correspondents
gives the details Of an outrage com>
mitted by masked scoundrels in the
name of Kuklux. Wen bet nickel
that if either of these cowardly ras-

quake in his boots as if his last day
had come. Real Kuklux never COM
mitted such outrages. Let the Nreteh'
es be caught and punished to the exN
tent Of the law.
