STEMMERIES BURNED
Three Hundred Persons Ride Into
Princeton, Ky.
TOBACCO SET ON FIRE


Princeton. KY. Dec. IA number
Of men rode into this place at an early
hour Saturday and set FIRE to two
large tobacco stemmeries along the
Illinois Central railroad. A third hre
was started in another part OF the city.
The total loss is about 100000.
The stemmeries were the property
Of James Steger and John @. Orr, the
latter being controlled by the Imperial
Tobacco company OF New York. and
! totally destroyed. Several cottages In
the vicinity we're badly damaged. but
nobody was hurt.
The mob. which numbered ABOUT 800
masked men. entered Princeton be-
tween ! and o'clock, seized the night
town marshal and disarmed him.
The men then went 10 the factories
and quickly applied torches. The
masked men stood on guard. permit
ting no one 20 come near until the
buildings were completely enveloped
In flames and help useless.
A squad OF the mob took charge OF
the telephone Office and no word OF
the AGAR was allowed 20 20 out.
When the men saw the FIRE was be-
yond control they left town. going In
the direction OF Hopkinsyille. dlscharg-
ing revolyers and rifles as they de-
parted. The fire department then came
out. but could do fiothing more than
prevent tie FIRE from destroying build
ing In the icinlty.
The Steger factory was controlled
by the American Snun company, and
MIR Steger Is the Princeton agent for
that concern. Mr.. Orr Is the repre-
sentative OF the Imperial company.
There were about 10000 pounds of
tobacco In each warehouse and all Of
:, was burned.
The mob. In addition TO disarming
the night watchman. took charge OF
the police station and waterworks.
Even had the FIRE company responded
the firemen would have been unable to
obtain = supply OF water.
The work Of the mob is believed to
be only In furtherance Of the agitation
by tobacco raisers against the tobacco
trust. There Is an organization OF
farmers known as the Dark Tobacco
Growers Protective association. but
II Is not known that any Of its mem
bers were In the mob.

priceless to him now with the driving
work that lay before him. The crisis
had come, and White Horse, arising,
walked to the window and stood mood
lily staring into the silent woods.
Within the log saloon six miles down
the road the noise of the revelry arose
in ever increasing volume.
The door of the shack suddenly
opened and the tall form of White
Horse lowered before them. Calmly,
but with each word forceful as q bull
let, White Horse spoke.
This thing is going to stop I've got
to have you in the woods tomorrow and
you must get back to camp while you
are able to walk. I've been a patient
man to-day, but I've reached my limit.

HELD A FLAMING MATCH ABOVE IT.
suddenly came into the gray orbs OF
the boss, and roughly he shouldered
his way to tho back of the shack and
drew small cylinder from his
pocket.
Dynamite cartridge with two-min-
ute TAIL" he said as he sat it upon the
wood box and held a flaming match
above it. You want to dance and fight
some more do you. Well, unless you
hike out of here you'll all be doing a
Quick-step tonight for the devil"
No man knew just how far White
Horse would go in the enforcement of
an order, and now none waited to see.
Struggling, cursing, roaring they fought
their way out of the door and went
swarming down the track, while the
boss, extinguishing the fuse, stepped
out on to the trampled snow and threw
his cartridge deep into the woods. Far
down the track the runaways were stag
gering into the distance, wrangling and
bowling insanely.
The afternoon sun sank until II
seemed to rest on the tops of the west
ern forest like broad gold piece poised
delicately. And the walking boss, aris-
ing from a log beside his cutter where
he had sat for an hour following the
rout, climbed up to the seat Back along
the rough woods trail he went until the
cleaning ice road lay before him, then
turned upon it.
AS his half-galloping ponies swung
around bend of the forest road, they
suddenly arose upon their hind legs
with wild pawings at the air. Less than
a dozen yards in front of them and ly-
ing fiat upon his back on the ice, was
the first of the fallen that White Horse
had feared would litter the homeward
route.
The legs of the lumber-jack kicked
systematically and White Horse, Short
ening his reins, leaped to the ice. Cant
leave you here to freeze up solid" he
grunted as he dumped the limp form
headlong into the sleigh box behind.
But III make you pay for this ride to-
morrow"
At the next turn of the road the
. first oath that had escaped his lips
that day burst from him explosively.
Fairly in front of him, locked in each
others arms as they had gone to
sleep fighting, were Jimmp Hard Boots
and Ole Sawlog. Along the next hun
dred yards four more men were strewn
like skirmishers fallen in battle.
One by one the walking boss labori-
ously raised them and piled them upon
each other in the box, wedging the last
man firmly between the dashboard and
the seat.
The moon sailed high and the black
shadows of the forest lay heavily upon
the clearings. White Horse, hurrying
back from Camp 2, where he had been
summoned to quell an incipient riot,
drew a deep breath as he threw open
the door of the cook shop.
They are sleeping all right now.
They'll be in fair shape to break their
backs again tomorrow, and most like
ly they won't lick up another drop OF
frewater until after the drive in the
spring. Poor devils! There isn't much
pleasure in this world for them-not
much-not much"
And this is how White Horse deliv-
cred an impossible contract for Findlay
Brothers on time to the dot, with scarce
an hour TO spare between success and
a $4,000 loss.

cett,ur Away from Poverty.

The struggle to get away from pow erfv has been a great man developer. Had every human being been born with a. silver spoon in his mouth kim to work-the race would still be in it's infancy. Civilization owes more to the perpetual struggle of man to get away from poverty than to any 1hinr else. It is not poverty itself. but the effort to get away from it. that makes the man. We are so con stituted that we make our greatest efforts and do our best work while strurTling to attain that which the heart longs for. Power is the result of force overcome.
