Suspicion has been wen founded against an
unprincipled individual for burning Mr..
Nelson's wheat on Roberts Ridge, which
was mentioned a few days ago in the REols-
TER. A citizen from there states that the
bitterness is intense, and it would take only
an imperative word to have lynching a.
fair in that neighborhood, That part Of
Roberts Ridge, generally known as
Kansas" has for some years past
been noted for disorder. and the law
has at several times attempted to check
such freaks, but from some cause has not
had the desired effect on the community
as whole, but has, in almost every in

Republicans is nominated and II all the
boilers Of the regular ticket should support
it, il would then, with such division as this
would make in the Republican ranks only
remain for the Democrats to nominate a
ticket and victory would be assured. Local
politics are very promiscuous down here in
Marshall and the result cant but effect the
State ticket, and also might make some
