Memphis, Sept. 24.-United States
Marshal James H. Freeman left to>
night for Huntingdon, Tenn, which
is near the scene of the recent trouble
with moonshiners. He received a
telegram this afternoon from one of
his deputies in McNairy county an
nouncing the arrest there of four.
Marshal Freeman has grave fears for
the safety of his two deputies,
Ras Collier, of Mckenzie, and j D.
Hill, of Trenton, who, with small
posse, were sent into Carroll county
to break up some illicit distilleries and
arrest moonshiners. He has heard
nothing from them of definite ma.
ture since last Monday, and his de-
parture tonight is for the purpose Of
ascertaining whether or not they have
been killed. The country where the
posse were sent is what is known as
the eighteenth civil district of Carroll
county. It's in one corner and ad.
Joins Benton, Henderson and Deca-
tur counties. The voting strength Of
u
the district is nighty-eight, and there
is not negro or democrat voter in the
district. 1t is called the Butler dis
trict, from the fact that nearly every
resident is member OF the Butler
family.

tidious who are not in the habit of at
tending public entertainments of any
description. The arenic features are
the best Oh the road, rendered in a
smoothness and cleanliness rarely seen

the attractive novelties were the

rider, has no equal; troupe of Skillful
Siberian Roller Skaters, direct from
