have organized a reign of terror. In April

borhood church, and drawing arms on the
preacher, compelled him to read a notice

the county or be killed. To-day Governor
Berry issued a proclamation urging the sher-
ifs and other officers of these counties and
all good citizens to use every effort to hunt
down the desperadoes. He expresses a deter
minalion to break up this murderous band.
