Report That the (" White Caps" of Craw
ford County, Ind, Will Disband.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 22.-The report
comes from Crawford County, Ind, that
the white Caps" have held meeting
near Marietta and decided to disband. The

ford County is the home of the "White

operations.
ENGLISH, Ind, Aug. 22-The "White
Caps propose to- purify the ballot-box,
and are turning their attention in that di-
rection. They have already issued their
pronunciamento for the coming fall cleo
ton and decided just what they propose to
do. They declare that there shall be no
bribery or corruption, and threaten 100
lashes to any one found going counter to
their wishes.
LEAyENwoRTH, Ind, Aug. 22.-The in
reference of the State authorities in
Crawford County has caused the white
Caps" to remain very quiet. Attorney
General Michener's investigation disclosed
!, fearful state of lawlessness and cruelty
on the part of the regulators. Governor
Gray has been asked to use the power Of
the State in crushing out this organiza
ton, and will probably soon take active
measures.
