Night Rider News.

All eyes are focused on Obion
county, Tenn, looking for news re-
garding the night riders, and all ears
are eagerly waiting for information
stating that the men who killed Col.
Rankin and from whom Judge Iay-
lor escaped only by miracle, have
been captured and will speedily atone
for the heinous crime that has blot
ted the fair name of Tennessee and
caused people throughout the entire
South to shudder and tremble.
A special term of circuit court has
been convened at Union City to in
quire into the atrocity, and both the
State and county officials are uniting
in an effort to bring the perpetrators
of the crime to justice. Several mil
itary companies are encamped on the
banks of Reelfoot lake, and the sec
ton in which the crime was commit
ted is under martial rule.
There are several enterprising

these specials declares that threat
has been made to burn the town of
Trenton, which is few miles south

demning the night riders and de-
nouncing their actions cease at once.
The special, which has sent TO Mem

Happel, a prominent physician OF

matter as a joke, and does not seem

Another special declares that

Beard was not at home, and his wife
told the man that she had no food OF

cook him some breakfast, and retired
to the woods to wait until it wa:

food to the man he made her return

BRYAN WANTS Big
VOTE In DIXIE
CO,fsfoNER URGES THE PEOPLE
OF DIXIE TO TURN OUT IN
FULL FORCE AT ELEC-
TION ON TUESDAY.
Republicans Make Capital Out OF the
small Vote in South, and IL IS
Important that Every Man
should Go to Polls.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan has
sent letters to the chairmen of the
different State Democratic executive
committees in the South urging tnem
to do everything in their power 10
bring out a full vote in the election
next Tuesday. 1t is known that most
of the Southern States are safely
Democratic, and for this reason the
voters have become callous, many OF
them remaining away from the polis
on election day. Therefore the vote
in the South is generally small, and
the wrong impression as 10 the
South's power in national politics
goes abroad.
Not only does the country at large
gain wrong impression as 10 the
voting strength of the South, but
the Republicans make capital out OF
the small number of ballots cast, and
whenever the Democrats make an
effort to pass a bill which does not
meet with their approval they threat
en- to cut down the congressional rep

RELEASE OF IhE CLINES
 WRIT OF fiABFAS CORPUS
A Letter From Globe States That Pa
 pers Were to be Filed Yesterday.

Application for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of John Cline and his sons who were held at Globe last week for the murder of Charles Ed wards near Roosevelt on January F, was filed in the district court at Globe yesterday. The application is based on the ground that the men were held without evidence tending to show that they were guilty of the crime.
 Judge Baker, chief counsel for the CIines, yesterday received a letter from his associate in Globe saying that an application had been made by the dis trict attorney for the removal of the elder Cline to the Pima county jail. The motion was opposed by local coun- sel for the Clines on the ground that habeas corpus proceedings were to be begun, and that if Cline was ordered out of the county he'would be brought back.
 Judge Nave accordingly denied the motion for the time being. The let ter also informed Judge Baker that the papers in the habeas corpus pre- ceedings which were agreed Upon be- fore Judge Baker left Globe would be filed yesterday.

the evening of February 14, with a grand ball in which the whole world is invited to participate. It is d big opera house for a town Of that size and the people are justified in taking a pardonable pride in it. Heretofore. Phoenix. Prescott and Tucson have in turn claimed this proud distinction and now Mesa City demands recognition.
 Mesa City, it may be said. is a good town for a public hall of this charac- ter for it is a good show town and is also a great place place for dancing. Balls are of frequent occurrence and when there is neither ball nor a drama on the boards. some big church function may be depended upon, so the opera house management will have assurance of a more perpetual patron age than the same building would have in almost any other place of twice the population. It is sincerely hoped therefore, that the Vance opera house will not only prove a great conven- fence for the public but Will be investment for those who had the enterprise to build it.
 The big opening ball will be made a regular town celebration. Arrange ments have been made for the run ming of an excursion train from Phoe- nix on the evening of the 14th, the for which will be announced

Bullard was Col. JohnstOne, who, impressed by Mir. Bull lard's eloquent dissertation upon the talent of Joseph Wheelock, the actor who will appear in the play. consent ed to take dollar and a half ticket.
 Though the deal had been consum- mated and Mir. Bullard had the money safely in his pocket. he made the Rlis- take of undertaking to prove that Col. Johnstone had made a better bargain than he thought. Though MT. Vince lock alone was worth more than the price of admission he was by no means all the show nor the only pebble that would be visible on the dramatic beach in "The Man From Mexico" He fin ally stated that he himself would be in the cast
 The colonel hurriedly rose in his wrath and his chair and demanded his money back. He declared that an ac- tion for obtaining money by false rep resentation could easily be based on the proceedings by which he had been separated from his money. He was somewhat modified though by Mir. Bullard. who told him that his was d minor part. He still has the ticket but he is also trying to find out about how long Mir. Bullard will obstruct the stage in the course of the evening. He also established a rule that henceforth before he buys a ticket to a theatri- cal show he will insist upon being shown cast.

For years the Thomas B. Jeffery Co. of KCnosha. have used as a talking point the economy of service of the Rambler car. The arrival of two eX- ceptionally strong letters of this kind on the same day a week ago, bear out the claim. One from Walter A. Mer- Till of Binghamton. N. Y. saying that he has run his Rambler car 4.000 miles during the past year. and his total re- pair bill, outside of a few punctures, was exactly S9.4O. During the season he made two hundred and seventy-five individual trips and never once re- quired assistance on the road. The other letter was from J. A. Baughman of Barberton, Ohio. stating that his 1906 Rambler. Model II. has been run to date a total of $500 miles, at a total repair expense of S400.
