TWO WHITECAPS SHOT
KILLED BY A YOUNG FARMER THEY
HAD THREATENED.
IN Latter Shot to Death by the Com
paniOns of the Two that Had
Fallen Under Fire.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 26.-News comes
from Sewer county of a tragedy in which
three men lost their lives under the most
sensational circumstances 1t has been
known for some time that a large gang
of whitecaps fourished in that vicinity,
and several persons have fallen victims to
their wrath. the outrages having been per-
formed repeatedly, and with seemingly no
fear of detection and prosecution. They
would send their notes Of warning, and,
true to their threats. would appear at the
appointed time. A prominent farmer named
RAIDER, residing near Henderson Springs,
had received a notice from the Whitecaps
that they would visit him last night. He
told some of his friends about the matter,
and they decided 10 give the Whitecaps a
warm reception. Among this number was
'Lige Helton, a young farmer. Going to
Sevierville he purchased a shotgun and
also borrowed S100. He, too, had been
threatened by the Whitecaps, and was only
too anxious 10 assist his neighbor In re-
celving them warmly.
Late in the night several residents living
near Henderson Springs were awakened by
a fusillade Of shots, and as soon as the
shooting stopped they fastened out into
the road. Within a few feet of each other
lay the bodies of three dead men. Helton's
body had been pierced with a score OF
Keebler had fallen victims to Helton's
trusty gun, being full of shot. On the per-
sons of the two last-named men were found
masks and pistols hidden under their coats,
Whitecap gang. Helton was returning to
his home from Sevierville and suddenly
met the gang OF Whitecaps, and, knowing
that he would be killed, he used his Shot
Keebler. but was himself perforated with
bullets from other members of the gang.

NEELYVILLE, Mo-, Oct. 26.-When the
people of this quiet little city read of the
bold hold-up and express robbery at AQUA
creek, Virginia. they little thought the
leader of the desperadoes was one of its
citizens. Charles A. Morgan and his hand
some young wife have been residents of
Neelyville for the past two years. Morgan
would frequently be gone for a month or
two at a time, but the people here thought
nothing of it and no one suspected that he
was other than a man of property who
could afford to take pleasure trips at his

of Neelyville, and M~organfield was sus-
when Morganfield was found with his leg
broken near Cincinnati. Flanagan at once
took steps to confirm his suspicious. The
identification was complete when he re-
ceived a photograph of Morganfield as he
lay on his couch at the City Hospital in
Cincinnati. Morgan left here nearly two
months ago and not even his wife knew
where he was. and had not heard from
him since he left. Mrs. Morgan is much DIS
band, saying that Charley had too much
sense to do such a thing" Since Morgan
has lived here he has made many friends,
and the people can scarcely credit the state
ment that he would commit such a deed
While they admit that Morgan and Morgan
field are one and the same, they still think
that there must be some grievous mistake,
robbery. Morgan, while at home, was
strictly temperate. paying his debts prompt
ly and it is believed he has considerable
property.
