The ku-klux have broken out in Car
ter county again. The narrative OF
their proceedings is plainly and briefly
given by a correspondent to the Van
Buren, Times: "On last Friday night
three men disguised in the garb of ku
klux-that Is, striped suits, with skull
and cross-bone on the right breast and
q hand on the left; tall sharp crowned
caps and false faces; each with a pistol
and a black hickory switch about four
feet long-went to the house Of Joseph
Carpenter and asked his wife where he
was. She told them he had gone to
the western part of the county; and,
after making few threats, and saying
they had been sent from Shiloh to
straighten out that part of the coun-
ty,' they left and went to John Longs;
went into the house; made him get up
out of bed and go odt in the yard with
them; made some threats toward him,
and told him they heard at Shiloh
what was going on in that part of the
county, They next went to Henry
Sneed's; asked for Joe Carpenter;
threatened Sneed, and then went to
Allen Joplin's; made the old man
treat them on green apples; made a
young man by the name Nicely dance
while, and then left.
"Now, Mr.. Editor, wish to inform
those young men, through the Times,
that they are well known, and we don't
need any help from midnight maraud-
ers of Shiloh to 'straighten out this
county. We propose to straighten it
out according to the laws Of Missouri,
backed by pluck and determination,
such as they are not used to.
~ would suggest to the law-abiding
citize ms of this vicinity to keep double
bsrrelled shotgun loaded with buck
shot, and when the ku-klux khan come |
prowling around, shoot them on the
spot, and we will soon exterminate the
Williams"
