n YINE-TENTHS Of the outside
IN newspaper men who invade
4 Kentucky and write up the
Night Riders in the tobacco
war do not know enough about the
real merits Of the matter to pass them
across the state line without peril of
being taken up and posted, SO to speak,
at insane asylums The popular pas
time Of the metropolitan newspaper is
to stigmatize Kentucky as a land Of
blood and Kentuckians as bloodthirsty
rufians. This pastime is particularly
relished by some Of the big eastern
newspapers, which are bossed by the
trusts.
The Night Riders uprising, which
has been going on for two or three
years, is a war against a trust. 1t is
confined to a comparatively small sec
ton Of Kentucky and still smaller
section Of Tennessee, though about
thirty counties are involved. Condi-
lions in these counties are unlike those
in any other section Of the country.
Tobacco is the staple crop. It is the
crop that makes the living for the
farmer. It is the crop that feeds his
wife and children, clothes them, keeps
a roof over their heads, sends them to
school, gives them a chance in the
world. Tobacco does all this for the
black hurley belt of Kentucky. There
is nothing else that can do these things
for these Kentuckians. Tobacco grows
there to perfection. Practically moth
ing else can be grown at a profit. The
peculiar black leaf tobacco grown there

Barns Burned, Men Shot.

It was in vain that the organization
men told the outsiders that they were
making money only at the expense of
their neighbors, whose move for self
protection of all had enabled these few
to profit. The outsiders continued to
accept the bait offered by the trust.
Then they We're notified that they
must not plant any tobacco. They con
tinued planting. The society sent to
the outsiders letters of protest, inclos-
ing a few matches and few car
tridges. These signiied that unless
they came into the pool their tobacco
barns would be burned and they might
be shot. Finally barn burning and
shooting actually resulted. The war
grew into outlawry, there being no en-
forced law to protect the growers. eli

life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness. That was the situation.
A few years ago some representative
tobacco growers got together and talk
ed the matter over They organized a
society societies, in fact-to
fight the tobacco octopus, which was
squeezing the lifeblood out of them
and their wives and children. If all
the tobacco farmers had gone into
these societies there would have been
no Night Rider war A fair price would
have been paid to the producers, the
black hurley belt would have been a
pastoral paradise, the people would
have been contented and happy and
prosperous. But some farmers held
out.

there is ruftianism in every war. The
present writer is not holding brief in
defense of outlawry. He is simply
stating facts. They are deplora bic
facts. But let the truth be told and
recognized.
The banded farmers began the war
in somewhat timid and shrinking
way, as became men who had been
good citizens all their lives. When
they discovered that certain neigh
Dor was taking advantage Of the gen
eral misfortune to line his own peck
cts by selling at the fancy figure offer
ed him and not offered the others they
argued with him. He came back at

raised. If somebody offered him a

HE FATS AND SLIMS
 LABOR Al BASEBALL
A Sorry and Sore Lot They Will Be
 Today After All That Happened.

The Fats and Leans went at it ham mer and tongs yesterday afternoon a Eastlake park diamond and for foul furious and frightful rounds fought a frightful fracas When the weather god deluged both TritOns and minnows so that the combat was terminated fol time. But after a cessation of the doWnpour, as they were dead anxious
 to finish the game, they Waded out
 into the pond and began the struggle anew. The Antifats were too much
 for the boys with the graceful embon-
 point, but they won out by a slim score of 6 to ,.
 Among the hosts of the Fats was
 Wayne Davis, whose principal asset
 was a pair of zebra socks. He was
 deputiZed to look after third base in
 the beginning, but owing to Bernal,
 who started off in the pitchers pit.
 developing a glass arm, Davis was
 called on to terrify the lilliputians with shoots such as made Amos Rusie fla nous before he began to dabble with the suds. Behind the cage was TheO- dore Olea of New York N's, who es- caped puncture, though he was in bad need of shin guards. It was three to two when play was renewed. and des- pite the deputy sheriff battery, which was supposed to put the irons on every man up, the Small Fry wormed three more tallies round the irrigated sec tion. The Fats panted and sweat. but all they could do was one less than enough to tie it.
 Both aggrcgations blew up in the early stages, and errors were amassed with surprising facility OccasionaIIy, however, some caught the ball. and those feats together with the assist ance of Umpire Porter. who gave a wide latitude on strikes, enabled them to make three outs before the worst happened. Two Fat men in the op- ening bumped together with a dull and thud and the fly was booted afar. That jared the corpulent nine off its balance and some one immedi- ately threw the ball away This habit when once contracted was difficult to break up. and it spread and infected the whole job lot of baseballists.
 The line-ups of the teams were: Fats-Bernal and Davis, pitchers; Olea Lopez, first; Romerez, second: Davis, third; Martinez, short; Mel endrez, left; Lindsey, center; Buelna, right. The Slims-Rabio, pitcher: Contrarez, catcher; Celayea. first: Scott second; Acuna, third: PiIo. short; Lama, right; Y Busto, center; Cerrano, left.

Very commendabl. advance has bee n
made in the development work going
on in the Sun and Moon property. The
president of the company, D. S. Curry,
has been here, and with Manager R. c.
Bonney, has been giving the work in
vestigation, resulting in his gratifica-
ton over what has been accom- ,iished.
While men have been at work in sink
ing the shaft between the eleventh and
thirteenth levels. others have beeu en-
ployed in re-tlmberlng the workings
from the Newhouse tunnel and also re-
placing timbers at the point where the
uprase will begin. The distance from
the Newhouse lateral to the thirteenth
level is about $50 feet, and from this
point to the surface is about 1850 feet.
The dividing line between Clear Creek
and Gilpin counties passes through the
Sun and Moon and the different claims
are in the midst of the richest mining
district. With a production record Of
over one and a quarter millions of dol
lars and a large and continuous ore
| body now avilable, the outlook for big
results are positive. The ore hereto
fore has been taken out above the
eleventh level, but the shoots are con-
tinuous down to the Newhouse level,

stretched at every turn. The music
