IMPORTANT lNFORNATION ABOUT THE
MIlITECAPS.

AS partially indicated BY an
article iii last Wednesdays Lead
er, the State, through the Pinker-
ton detectives employed by Gov
ernor Yardaman, Attorney Brady
and those cooperating with them,
have the white cap situation we'll
in hand il Lincoln county, so far
as the main facts are concerned.
Not only DO the States represen.
tatives know who are members of
the organization in this county,
but they also know the pass
words, the grip and the oath
administered to candidates when
initiated, etc. This oath, among
other things, solemnly binds the
members Of this secret order who
NAV be summoned to serve as
grand jurors, to hold out and new
er consent to the indictment of
any person guilty of white-cap-
ping, no matter what the evidence,
and if serving as petit jurors,
never to agree to q verdict Of
guilty. It also pledges them to
drive off or otherwise rid the
community of any obnoxious me-
groes, and not to allow negroes to
occupy lands owned BY mer-
chants. The penalty for turning
States evidence OF divulging the
secrets of the organization is
death.
1t has been ascertained that a
considerable number of reputable
and quite prominent citizens in
certain parts Of the county, became
members Of the organization last
year or soon after It, was first or
ganized. These seem to have
Joined, as a rule, either under a
misapprehension of its true char
acter, or as a measure of self
protection against white-cap meth
DDS. Such men have taken no
hand in the notorious acts of law
lessness which have been commit
ted by certain squads, and which
we're perpetrated without their
previous knowledge or consent.
Though detesting these crimes and
the fruits of white-capping in
general, most of these men retain
a nominal membership and are
holding their peace for fear of de-
struction to their lives or prop
erty. OF course the State will not
advocate or demand that men like
these shall be punished with any
thing like the same severity as
those guilty of grayer ofenses.
The Leader learns that it has
not yet been finally determined
whether special term of the
court will be called in the early
fall to dispose of these white-cap
cases or that the State will sim
ply bide its time with the evidence
it has until the regular term in
November. So far as the oath
bound White-cappers getting on
the iulies is concerned, some
thing at first feared By the prose-
cntion and confidently boasted of
and relied on by some of the
white caps themselves, as a sure
means Of escape from their crimes,
the State is well equipped against
this by well authenticated list Of
all the white eappers in Lincoln
county, and win be prepared to
challenge for cause every mem
Der of the organization who may
attempt to work in on the grand
or petit iuries.

Word reached this place Monday
that Peck had been visited by q
cloud burst Sunday afternoon, which
caused considerable damage to
property and unharvestsd grain.
il appears that the storm cloud
which hung TO the west and north OF
Us Sunday afternoon vas the cause
Of this destruction. On Craig
mountain in the vicinity OF Win
chester much damage was done by
falling timber. and hail stones fell
TO the depth Of two inches, injuring
the standing grain. This storm
continued on to the north blowing
down the barn OF E. Erickson at
Kippcn and causing considerable
damage to crops and timber. At
Peck the storm suddenly broke in
the shape of a cloud burst. This
occurred about 100 p. m. on Sun
day. The vail Of water struck on
the hill side where Little Canyon
leads down TO the ferry. The force
of the water tore up the ground and
carried trees and huge bouldsrs
along in its course. Len McCill's
house was struck and the side next
the food and bottom of the house
were taken out. A large steel
range was taken along by the force
Of the food and has not been seen
since. AT the Norris place a team
tied in the track of the water had a
narrow escape from drowning, being
swept from their feet by the rushing
water. trees etc. The vail of water

The grain. Mr.. Wood, who under
bis lease and purchase Of stock be-
came the principal owner Of the

largely interested in the shortage,
determined that soms;hing was rad
ically wrong with the company's
concerns. An investigation Of the

amount Of loss was discovered. II
vas next determined TO visit Greer,

that two cars shipped to the Fran

books. This matter was traced
down and Il was found that Dixon
had received the money for both
cars, approximately $1,000, and had
made no record of receiving the
money. The money for one car
was received by Dixon some three
weeks after leaving the employ of
the company. With these facts in
