Brakeman Shot.


Only two men were injured, one
of them being Lindsay Mitchell, a
tobacco buyer, who was severely
beaten with switches and clubs. and
the other a brakeman, who was
shot in the back while irving TO
move his train from the path of the
flames.
The raid Of the "night riders
caught the country unawarcs, as for
some time the depredations result
ing from the tobacco war had been
OF minor nature and it was gener-
ally thought tha. in the "dark dis
trict" at least the worst was over:
The property destroyed was as fol-
lows:
W. II. Tandy, independent tobacco
warehouse building, owned by J. II.
Latham:
B. M. Woodbridge, association
warehouse.
Tandy and Farleigh, buyers ware
house.
In addition. the entire glass front
Of The Hopkinsville Kentuckian,
Mayor Meacham's paper, was de-
stroyed, while windows intLe front
Of the Commercial Banking and
Savings Company. the First National,
the Planters Trust Company and
the Bank Of Hopkinsville, were pune
tured with bullet holes.
A number Of other business
houses and residences bear the
marks Of bullets and it is considered
remarkable that no one was killed.
The insurance is believed to be
about 100000.
Militia Chase Raiders.
AS soon as the "night raiders" left
town a posses of abou. Is, headed by
Major Bassett, of the local militia,
and Deuty Sheriff Cravens, entered
buggies and followed the trail. As
soon as the posse could get near
enough they opened fire on the
fleeing mob and the pursued returned
the shots. 1t is believed none Of the
"Night raiders" was hit.
