whether intoxicating liquor was being
sold without a city license. The Off

evidence was cleaned from THE court
of inquiry to secure a warrant All of

whisky or beer had been sold, al
though some admitted that "near

with the crusade of Mayor Smith

According to the story which was
youched for by a prominent citizen
of Livingston county this morning,
Nichols was the representative of the
Singer Sewing Machine company IN
Livingston and Lyon counties. The
company allows its agents to sell ma
chimes on instalments and Nichols
had placed a large number in his ter
ritory. Some of his customers who
had followed the night rider leaders,
who wear the white scarf and black
masks, conceived the idea that 20
whip Nichols and drive him from the
country would relieve them of the pay
ment due on sewing machines, fool
ishly overlooking the fact that the
powerful company, which employed
Nichols, would relentlessly force cob
lectAons of notes. which were not even
in Nichols possession.
Men of means and prominence who
had been companions In crime ON
raids supposedly for the benefd OF
the tobacco growers, were forced to
assist the INSCRIPTIONS in executing
their nefarious scheme and Nichols
was taken out one night and brutaly
whipped and warned to leave the
country. which he did.
II was learned upon authentic au-
thorlty. that Nichols recognized many
of the men who attacked him, and Is
especially positive in his Identification
of the men who applied the lash. Yet,
so greatly have the eyes of citizens
of Lyon county, where the whipping
occurred, been blinded by prejudice
or fear, that no Indictment has ever
been returned against the men guilty
of the terrible atrocity.
When released by his tormentors
Nichols returned to his home at
Grand Rivers, and disposlng of his
property at a sacrifice, left with his
family for a town in southeastern
Missouri, where he now resides.
His ine-months-old baby died a
few days ago. but not until he learned
that Grand Rivers was under the pro-
lection OF soldiers did he ever dare
to venture back that the child might
be buried in the family graveyard by
the side of honored ancestors.
Nichols comes of a prominent fam
lily and always borne a splendid repu-
tation.
