gradations in the quarrel are not known.
At any event, the two young men. or boys,
and old man Bill met in a narrow road near
the latters house. The wife at the win

That was all. The Reynolds boys fed, but
were soon captured. and their trial is set

Morgan Reynolds. cousin of Noah and
John q teacher, and known as "the smart
est man in Letcher." at once organized
Kuklux band for the protection Of his kins-
men In November. 1900 the State was
startled by the murder of Mrs. Jemima
Hall and her 15-year- son on the upper
fork Of Boone. She was widow whose
hsuband had left her $500 In life insurance,
which she foolishly kept In her cabin home.
Sam Hanover stayed at the house to pro-
tect the widow and her three children. The
Kuklux took 1t upon themselves to correct
this, to them, Objectionable action.
slight snow had fallen and served to muffie
their horses hoofbeats. They drew near
the cabin and tied their horses. They adj
yanced to the door, and, calling loudly and
pounding on the door demanded admfs-
sion. The widow answered In trembling
tones. and the noise and gruff demands for
admission were repeated. Hanover Knew
what it meant and opened fire through the
door from a position in the back room.
There were curses and an answering voliey
was returned. The widow sank back dead.
while the body of her eldest son fell cross
her. Hanover crept across the room under
the bed, while the two children escaped
by rear door into the night. The muir
derers forced the front door and rified the
place. They withdrew without Nanover
being able to recognize any of them.
The next morning some Of the footprints
in the snow were found to contain trf-
angular mark Mountain detectives were
set to work and at the house of Lige Flem-

nothing Of this kind has been known IN tho
central section Of the State. but It has
moved to the mountains where the people
are more backward in development. The
home Of the feud gave the Kuklux hearty
welcome for 1t was ready method Of pay
ing old scores without having the enemy
get wind Of the true perpetrators.
In Letcher County the Kuklux had been
Quiescent for some years until October. 1899,
when band Of men met up on Rockhouso
Creek, In an isolated spot near the wreck Of
a raided still. There were just thirteen in
the party, and following their rude notions
of the proper ceremony on such an occasion
they assembled on Friday at midnight and
took the kukluX oath. 1t had been written
for them by an almost illiterate school,
master and was read by the light of q dim
stable lantern. Here 1t is:
II swear by God Almighty. by heaven.

The band began operations at once. Nell
Hall. supposed to have caused trouble in
the family Of "Bilr' Lucas was taken out
and whipped. Sarah Clinch and America

TIE FIGHT IN LINN co.

Mr.. Cummins and his retainers
made strenuous and costly efforts to
capture the Linn county delegation
to the state convention but were
overwhelmingly worsted. The Cedar
Rapids Republican the next day
after the county primaries tells the
story Of the attempt to buy and bull
doze delegation for Cummins:
"The republicans of Cedar Rap
ids stood by themselves last night.
They ran their own caucuses and
selected their own delegations to
the county convention.
1t was famous victory for genu-
inc Cedar Rapids republicanism,
and for James H. Tr5win as a can
didate for governor.
1t was an infamous defeat for
gang of outsiders, composed most
ly of Des Moines men and headed
by the Hon. Tom Way, of Britt,
who represented Mr.. Cummins.
Mr.. Cummins personally has many
friends in Cedar Rapids, but even
his most ardent friends were not
able to overlook the methods
which his boosters adopted. Ce-
dar Rapids, being the convention
city, would do the right thing to
all candidates, although it was in
clined to have a friendly feeling
for northeastern Iowa candidate,
Senator Trewin, of Lansing, who
has honored Cedar Rapids by open
ing branch office there.
Mr.. Cummins himself was in
doubt. Then William Smythe of
Cedar Rapids went to Des Moines

"A resolution endorsing Cummins
for governor was turned down in the
Marshall county convention Satur-
day, and to think that for months
past the Times-Republican has been
telling all Iowa that Marshall county
was unanimous for the railway at
torney for governor, that such a
thing as an anti-Cummins' man was
unknown in that county, and that
the Northwestern railroad was being
boycotted and was detrlment to
Marshalltown because it's officers
would not take a hand and fall in
line for Cummins. Verify the Times
Republican must have been putting
up great game of deception, or it
didn't know the people ofthe county,
or its editorials must have been
furnished by bureau outside the
city and county of its publication. 1t
seems to have had about as much
success in it's late political work as
it did few years since when it made
it's attack on Oskaloosa and the Iowa
Central. At that time it Handed in
the ditch" as it were, and it seems
to have found the same lodging place
this time.

co. r. 51ST IOWA.

We are gratified to announce that
Adjt, Gen. M. H. Byers has revoked
the order transferring Co. F to the
50th Iowa and ordered 1t restored to
its old position in the 51st. There
were geographical reasons as to the
location of the companies which led
him to make this order, as it would
throw the companies nearer together
by putting Oskaloosa in the 50th and
Charlton in the 51st.
Gen. Byers did not realize the pro-
found affection that our people had
for the old organization. His atten-
tention was called to the unanimous
desire of the company and of our
citizens for the retention of Co. F in
it's old associations. The general
visited the city few days ago, and.
after friendly talk with large
number of our people, went home
and revoked the order. Gen. Byers
made q very pleasant impression
upon our people and the recollection
of his visit will be all the more agree
able in view of the order that he has
just made, restoring the company to
its old place. %. F will now drill
with increased zeal.

The A. B. oummins management

The A. b. Cummins management
Is making the Des Moines Democratic
Leader "sweat blood" these days.
The Anti Cummins papers have been
quoting some of the Leaders, editor
ials and reports of former days re-
garding Cummins, and these clip
pings are not such as tend to help
the present attempt to capture the
gubernatorial nomination. The
Leader can't deny them for the files
of the paper show for themselves,
and as the official organ and mouth
piece of the Cummins candidacy
they are now compelled to get "out
from under" in some manner even
though it may be humiliating. So
they are made to say editorially these
days and repeat the dose tomorrow,
that they did say such and such
things at the time, but that they lied
about it, that Cummins didn't say
them, that they put the words in his
mouth, and they attempt to prove
this by saying mo, such report ap-
pears in anyother paper" and the
excuse offered for such misrepresen-
ton is that it was "anxious to make
points for its cand idates, and in the
hurly- burly of politics, not always
exactly scrupulous as to means, as is
the habit of partisan newspapers. y
Now if the Leader acting as the Of
fetal organ of Mr.. Cummins when he
was an independent" candidate for
representative on the democratic
ticket or when he was assisting in
the election of democratic governor
of Iowa so basely and Intentionally
misrepresented him because they
were mot exactly scrupulous," how
can they expect the republican party
at this day and date to take their
word. May it not now as the official
organ of the Cdmmins coterie be
maliciously misrepresenting him
when it holds him up as the great
anti-railroad, anti-machine, anti any
thing just to be governor, because it
is "anxious to make points for its
candidate, and in the hurly-burly of
politics be not always scrupulous. !"
Truly the Leader is not in position
to give much inspiration or enthusi-
asm to those who have always been
republicans, ,and never deserted when
the party was in need.
