Ielena, seldom coming out In the open
to night. but numbering every union
soldier whom they caught struggling
from his command.
They continued to shadow our
rlcket lines. ambushing and murder
ing one or two prominent ohhcers Of
our forces. They claimed to become
very angry with those of their fellow
citizens who had taken the oath Of
allegiance. and made a specially OF
burning the houses and barns Of those
citizens. killing or driving on their
stock, etc. and In every possible way
annoyed these men who had taken the
oath.
But they did not stop at the de-
s.ruction OF property. but took appar.
emily a devilish delight In numbering
the most prominent citizens Of this
class OF traitors. as they were pleased
to call them.
"One day, think In October, 1868.
one OF our picket guards came gal.
Looping into camp and reported that Q
band of bushwhackers Il think under
a Capt. Jones). had ~ captured and
hung a prominent mer just outside
our lines. The picSet reported that
one OF the farmers neighbors had
seen the band going to his neighbor's
home and. knowing this BODIED his
neiehbor no good. made all possible
haste to cur lines and gave the
alarm.
Fortunately company Of our cav
airy was on duty near this point. They
went out on the gallop. and. arriving
at the farmers home in the nick Of
time. caught the bushwhackers red.
handed in their murderous attack.
They had taken the farmer out,
put a rope around his neck and pulled
him up high and dry. and were de-
liberately waiting to see him make
his last kick, when our cavalry came
down on them like a bolt from . clear
sky.
Some eight or ten Of them were
killed on the spot; some got away In
the bushes or on their horses, and ten
or dozen were captured. among
them Capt Jones and his lieuteant Of
the band.
When the Charge OF our cavalry
was made. someone cut down the sus.
pended citizen. His neck was not
broken and life was not extinct In his
body. He was finally restored. and In
rev days he was able to appear on
the witness stand against his muir
derers.
The military authorities decided
that drastic measures were necessary
to break up this bushwhacker kind OF
warfare. and decided to make an e.
ample OF the two omcers who Wero
leaders OF the band. A military court
martial was organized. 1t did not take
long to NIL the jury In such cases.
The two prisoners were brought
before the court and the prosecutor
briehy stated the case.
No Hypothetical questions were
asked. The man who had been
hanged swore positively that the pris'
oners were the men who had put
the rope around his neck and helped
pull him up. The prosecution soon
rested and the defense had not much
to say In rebuttal.

Muck Rake in Olden DAYS.

From Leslie's Weekly
Jackson was called murderer. coffin
handbills were gotten out by his polti-
cal enemies during his campaign of 1928
for President, on the lids of which were
inscribed the names of his victims. and
his opponent, President John Quincy
ADAMS, was accused of robbing the gov
eminent and of various kinds of vileness
1t was charged that Clay had bargained
to aid Adams in the contest of 1924 as the
price of an appointment by Adams as
secretary of state, and the charge, which
nobody in our day believes. and which
nobody in any day had right to believe,
hampered Clay to the end of his career.
Lincoln was stigmatized as clown, an
ignoramus. and a negro worshiper. Grant
was denounced as Il butcher. Hayes was
called a thief, the pretense being that he
stole the presidency Garfield. Arthur.
Cleveland, Harrison, Mckinley. and every
other President were made the targets of
abuse which was shameful in its mis-
representation. And the public men,
Webster. Calhoun Douglas, Seward
Chase John Sherman, Blaine and others
who did not get as high as the presi-
dency were alsof the objects of vile as.

The muck rakers have been with us
