WAR ON RIDERS
Dynamite Mines Placed Where
Law Breakers Are LA
BILE to Visit.
TENNESSEE HAS METHOD.

Nashville. Tenn, July 13.-The de-
predations of the night fiders have
caused the citizens of Tiptonville, in
Lake county, TO adopt extraordinary
means for their mutual protection.
Five hundred pounds Of dynamite
have been planted in the shape of
mines at .every place in the county
likely to receive a visit from the rid
ers. and committee from the law and
order league, named for the purpose
has been trained to set off the mines
at the proper moment.
The county jail, in which the sus-
poets are imprisoned, was surround
ed last night and the inmates given to
understand that dummy hanging to
a telegraph pole at convenient dis
lance was a representative of one of
their number who had refused to talk
when requested. AS a result it is al
legged that considerable light was
thrown on the operations of the riders
by those of their number in Jail
Five hundred men have been arrest
ed in the Fourth district for alleged
night riding. The arrests were based
on information furnished from O'Brien
county. Other arrests are to follow.
1t is said that many prominent men
are under suspicion of being allied
with the desperadoes.
