l.. s.. 1NNNN.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1884-08-16

A terrible outrage occurred in
Hickman county last sunday, by
which several lives were lost and a
stain cast on the good name of the
state. We have no patience with the
Mormon nastlness, but neither have
we any excuse to make for this MUIR
derous way of eradicating the evil
from the state. We hope the law
officers will promptly arrest every
man connected with this terrible trag
edy, and that the courts will prompt.
ly punish them. An Appeal special
gives the following particulars;
The organization established by the
Mormon elders in Hickman county,
this state, about three years ago was
broken up Sunday by the killing of
all the elders by band of masked
men. Mr.. Depriest, United States
mail carrier between Ivy Mills and
Centerville, Hickman county, gives
the following account of the massacre:
The three elders were holding meet
ing at Condor's farm, Dane creek,
Lewis county, Sunday morning, when
twelve masked men OH horseback rode
up to the house and ordered young
man named Hutson and young Con-
dor to surrender. They showed fight,
and one of the masked men knocked
Condor down, breaking his skull.
Hutson fred at one of the masked
men, who fell dead. He was found
to be Dave Hinson, a citizen of Hick-
man county, who lived on Brush
fork, on Beaver dam. The masked
men then shot and killed two of the
Mormon elders. The third elder then
ran towards the woods, from which
firing was soon heard. The elder has
not been seen since, and it is supposed
that he also must have been killed
1t has since been ascertained that the
masked men, before going to Condor's
house, stopped at house of a man
named Garrett, near Condor's house
found one Mormon elder there, and
left two masked in charge of this Ell,
der. Shooting was heard there short
ly afterward, and that elder has not
been seen since. When firing COM
menced at Condor's house, one of the
elders hid behind Mrs. Condor, and
in shooting at him Mrs. Condor was
wounded.

We are informed that the questio n
of abolishing the Humboldt court is
being agitated in some parts of the
county, and that the chairman of the
county democratic committee has
asked the committeeman in some of
the districts to get the sense of the
people on the subject. If this be
true, and we have good reasons to be.
lieve it is, we cannot see by what au>
thority he is acting. He is the party
head of the county, put in the posi-
ton to lock after the interests of the
party, and not to spring questions
which will cause serious splitif per-
sistently agitated. The districts in
the Humboldt jurisdiction do not
want the change made, and they will
not quietly consent to it, as it will
work great hardship on them. The
court is conveniently located, and the
extra cost to the county, we are in
formed, does not amount to ten dollars
per annum. If the candidates for
the legislature are expected to discuss
the question, we hope it will be done
before the meeting of the convention,
so that the voters in this jurisdiction
will know who to support. AS re,
CARDS the Humboldt court, all we ask
is to be let alone. Gentlemen, do not
let US have any underhand work in
this matter, but speak out boldly if
you wish to make the issue.
