1urton's Confession compIets.

Samburg, Tenn, Oct. 28.-The ring
leader of the night riders in this sec
tion. it is believed, is a prisoner at
Camp Memo. His name is Garrett
Johnson, and it is the general opinion
that Johnson, If he can be compelled to
talk, could tell more about the recent
outrage than any other man under
arrest. Not less than forty men, al
legged to have been connected actively
with the night riding in this terri
tory, are under arrest, and enough evil
dence already has been collected to
hang at least four men.
The latest report to reach here from
Tiptonville is that It'd" Burton has
broken down completely, and that his
confession duplicates 300 men from
Obion county. Even the oath taken by
the night riders has been confessed tho
the officials will not make public the
wording. The seventy or more prison
ers now in camp are closely guarded.
Burton denies that he was with the
might riders" when Captain Rankin
was hanged, but admits that he fur
nished the information to the leaders
of the band that caused them to swoop
down upon the hotel at Walnut Log.
Gives Leaders Names.
According to Burtons statements,
Tom and Garrett Johnson, both OF
whom are under arrest at Camp Memo,
and Will Watson, were the leaders of
the night riders who perpetrated the

a $4,000 bond for having participated
justice of the peace, in Lake county,
about four months ago.
With Burton's confession at their
disposal, and with other valuable in
formation which was secured today, it
is confidently sxpected by the author
tiles that 1t wiz be only a matter of a
few days before the offenders still at
large are taken into custody.
Burton said that he went to Walnut
Log the night before the murder and
there had conversation with James
T. Carpenter, an attorney Of this city.
at whose solicitation Colonel Taylor
and Captain Rankin made the journey
to Walnut Log, ostensibly to arrange a
deal in timber lands. AS It Is now
alleged, Carpenters purpose was to
place them in the mercy Of the night
riders.
Betrays Men to Mob.
After this conversation with Car
penter, Burton told the authorities, he
communicated with the leaders Of the
night riders and betrayed the presence
of their victims. He said he saw both
of them at the supper table the night
they were taken from their beds, short
ly after IL o'clock. They did not see
him, as he only went to the hotel to get
a lunch to take with him into the lake
that night as he intended to fish un-
til morning.
Burton states that Immediately after
getting this lunch he got into his boat
and went out into the lake about q
mile. He was fishing at the time the
shots were fired into Captain Rankin's
body and says he heard them, but did
not return at once to Bayou Deshea to
see what they meant or to learn what
crime had been perpetrated.

Where Pastor Visited Choir Leader.

Des Moines, Oct 2s.-The kiss of a
minister is sufficient grounds for
divorce is the opinion Of Supreme

suit of Mark Seeds, Of Mediapolis,
against his wife, Mabel.
Mrs. Seeds was choir leader of the
church of Rev. Mr.. Williams and when
he concluded evangelistic services out
of town she went along to lead the
music. She accompanied the preacher
to Cedar Rapids and there took sick
and entered hospital. Seeds visited

never return to him as her love was
for another. He charged her with de-
sertion and she fought the case on
these grounds. The testimony showed
that she had been seen kissing her
pastor several times. During the trial
the clergyman in the case was killed

woMAN's CLAIM NOT GOOD.
Sully's Daughters Rights in Rosebud
AGENCY Only to Half Section.

Wakpala, S. D., Oct 2S.-There is
not shadow of a foundation for the
claim made in Chicago dispatch that
a daughter of Jack Sully has legal
right to the Rosebud reservation. Even
provided that Mrs. Sing is halfbreed
Indian woman, as she asserts, with
rights among the Rosebud Indians, she
would be entitled to an allotment of
one-half section of the land only, under
the treaty OF 1858.
Jack Sully, the outlaw, was white
man with no rights whatever among
the Indians. Being married to an In
dian woman, his Wife and children had
tribal rights. Mrs. Sing, if she proves
her claim may possibly secure an indi-
yidual allotment, if there is any land
left. If not, she will be entitled to par
ticipate in the tribal fund derived
from the present and former sales OF
land, as will also the children Of her
Chinese husband, who will be entitled
to 16O acres each. and part of the tribal
funds. Those who have taken home
steads may rest perfectly easy. They
own incontestable right to the
lands they have taken, so far as the
Indians are concerned.
There is claim, however, which
crops up once in a while, and which
at least one Indian commissioner has
said was valid, but impossible of col
lection, that in the Black Hills coun-
try.
The Indians have always contended
that they never ceded the Black Hills
in the treaty of 1875, but loaned it only.
White men who were at the council
persistently assert the same thing.
Lawyers of repute have frequently dug
into the matter, but the claim is one of
such enormous proportions that they
are unwilling to take it up.
