The tobacco barn of John McDon-

dyville, between the rivers" con-
tanning about 5000 pounds of tobac-
co. was burned Tuesday night, and al
the same time pile of spokes on the
bank OF the Cumberland river ready
for shipment was burned. 1t is not
known whether the incendiary fire
was caused by night riders or by a
personal enemy, although Mr.. Nc
Donald claims to know the persons
that applied the torch.
The news of the fire was sent to
the soldiers camp at Eddyville. and
Captain ]. NJ. DeWeese and his SOL
diers started to the scene, but could
not be ferried across the Cumberland
river until o'clock yesterday morn
ing. and could not find any trace OF
the guilty persons. All was quiet in
Lyon county last night. Eddyville
is the only place in Kentucky where
soldiers are stationed now. owing to
night riders.
