At this iuncture d large number of

The next day an event occurred
which is unprecedented in the history

The director appears to have been d

tact of prudence There was, at the
time, q million dollars In specie on
temporary deposit in the st. Mary's
bank, being the two payments made
by the government for large contract
for cooper gun-barrels. This money
should never have reached st. Mary's
in coin. But there had been loud
outcry from different parts of the coun-
try that all the profits of the company
went to England, and the disaffected
men of THE Junta" had reeehoed it
bitterly. This director, therefore,
whose name was Matlock, had advised
the company to use the money at ST.
Mary's in paying off the Indebtedness
on the improvement scheme. He ap-
peared to think it would have good
effect. On the night after the strike
three of the new houses built by the
company were burned. The striking

Director Matlock injudicious1y ex-

sent a delegation to the Office Of the
works to get a statement from him di-
rectly, and they encountered at the
door of the Office six men, armed with
clubs and pistols, who ordered them
away. An alteration ensued. Two

the men and took them into the street,
where they were beaten to death. The

who manufactured potash and tanr1in

have done quite a business there In a

On the morning to which reference
has been made, st. AIary's was in a
very demora1ized condition The news
had gone out over the country and
hundreds of strangers had poured in
across the Ohio and from Louisville
and Cairo. 1t was expected by every
body that a collision would take place
between the worlmen and the colony
which the English company had
planted on the bank Of the river. The
sheriff of the county had arrived, but
the governor had declined to interfere
at the present state of affairs.
Such was the condition of matters
when at nine o'clock, to the astonish-
nent of everybody, a regiment of in
fantry, one thousand strong, in full
marching order and armed with maga-
zine guns, made it's appearance at the
edge of the town on the Paducah rail-
road, and came down the main street
as far as the bank in fine order, pre-
coded by drum corps of four pieces.
The establishment and excitement ut
this sudden invasion were increased ten
fold by the banner which spread out to
the morning breeze, and which had
inscribed on it legibly: First BattaI-

| While thiswas going on an hour was
lost and 1t was three o'clock. At half
past three o'clock the regiment was
moved from the bank to the vicinity of
the company S works 1t proceeded in
fine open order and was cheered along
the route by the people. A strong
guard was left at the bank and no one
allowed to enter.
On the company's common II was
again drawn up--a strong encircling
line of pickets thrown out and the fol-
lowing note sent about five o'clock to
the director:
Sir: The first battalion of the
working advance guard will pro-
teet property until the state takes pos
session. ! shall encamp my men on
the outskirts until tomorrow. Let the
citizens retire to their homes Till that
tirne.''
After several attempts TO see the
colonel, the sheriff sent communica-
tion to him:
.ssir:Wi1l you inform the authori-
ties of this county BY what right you
invade this state. As the legally con-
stituted officer of the county, demand
that you appear before me and explain
your conduct under penalty of arrest.
To this the colonel made no answer.
It was six o'clock in the evening
when the regiment WIS marched to an
open tract on the southwest terrace
overlooking the town; strong guards
were thrown out in all directions and
apparent preparations made for going
into camp. AS there was nothing for
the town to do but wait the arrival of
the governor in the morning, it slowly
quieted down. The camp fires of the
military burned in a long row on the
far terrace The regular cheat of the
drum was heard far into the night,
which was an unusually dark one, and
at twelve o'clock all was still.
But as soon as It was light the
streets were thronged. There were
the fires on the terrace smoking dis Il
with preparations for breakfast and
the white tent of the colonel could be
plainly seen. The early train brought
In q crowd of idle men, but the rail-
road officials denied having seen any
regiment.
As soon as the day was fairly arrived
crowds began TO make their way to

the edge Of the camp. The guard had
been withdrawn from the bank In the
night and at seven o'clock Matlock re-
ceiyed word that the regiment had dis
appeared. He went Immediately to
the bank with the sheriff At the same
time the news Of the disappearance
spread like wildfre, Crowds over-ran
the camping ground, but not sign of
the soldiers could be found except the
smouldering fires, the remaining tent
and the strong smell of the trodden
grass. with here and there dropped
fragment of clothing-a cartridge or
piece of food.
Then it was that the director dis
covered that all the specie had been re-
moved from the bank A great crowd
had gathered round the entrance. He
got upon a chair and in an excited
manner conveyed the information. 1t
was received with incredulous ieers,
cries of Served you right. We don't
believe 1T. You brought the soldiers,
etc. and the widest excitement
ensued.
The sheriff was paralyzed and lost
his head. He sent kilograms to Louis
vile and Cairo calling on the author
tiles to arrest all soldiers in blue shirts
and duck trousers arrned with Spencer
rifles He arrested the agents at the
Paducah railroad and held them for
celIusion. Armed parties were sent
out oAs the highways and discovered
nothing but struggling men drawn to

ingmen that the superintendent was in
some way implicated In the removal
of the gold, and nothing could eradi-
cate from the governors head the no
tion that the regiment was an exag-
Grated ruse which had been brought
about by descent of invading villains
from southern Indiana.
Hendricks had counted on this very
result. His motto was: ..Audacity
that bewilders land then, energy that
disorganizes.
CHAPTER XIV.
1t Is necessary now to keep IN mind
two orders CT events. One In the slow
focusing of public suspicion about the
operations at Laran. The other is the
extraordinary relationship of the prin-
cipaI personages at the headquarters
of the conspiracy.
A week passes and men are strag-
CLING back to the Laran from all over
the country. They come In through
the woods at night singly or In little
groups. They nrrlve at the Wash
bayou, coming down from st. Louis
and crossing of night from the Ar
kansas shore; they come up from
Memphis looking for work and some
Of them ride In from the mountains Of
East Tennessee.
Hendricks watches the reassembling
with cool calculation and appears to
have been satisfied of the main re-
suits. About fifteen per cent. of the
men never reappeared. This was ac-
cording to his calculations. But the
rest, actuated by the fear of individual
peril, the esprit de corps OF military
organization, or the desire to go on
with the war which a master-spirit
had planned, had, in great part, re-
turned at the end of the week. At that
time there were by count FIVE hundred
and fifty men of the regiment back in
the cave.
Hendricks sat UP oil one night read
ing the papers that had been brought
him from Memphis. He went over all
the accounts carefully. There was not
in any of them d surmise as TO the
truth. The regiment had got away
and it had accomplished It's purpose,
but the further away from the scene
the comments were, the less seriously
the newspapers regarded the occur
renee In New York there was some
kind of enormous western practical
joke suspected. How" said one jour
nal, "a regiment of thousand men
can come and go without observation,
can disnantle bank and then depart
with million dollars In specie without
being detected or interfered with or
tracked, remains for the imaginative
west to explain. It looks very much
at this distance as If the English
company had been operating In phan-
toms to bear its own market.
An angry official correspondence had
taken place between the governor of
Tennessee and the governor of Indiana.
The town OF ST. Mary's and the city of
Paducah swarmed with newspaper
men and detectives. But It was plain
to Hendricks that fresh troubles at st.
Mary's between the director and the
men threatened to draw attention
from the search for the soldiers.
