SWAN IN A HAIL OF BULLETS
Aged Lawyer Escaped Tennessee
Night Riders.
Owed Into Reelfoot Lake While
Lynchers Planned His Death and
Got Away WI hout a Wound.

Tiptonville, Tenn.-Colonel R. z.
Taylor, who was taken from Walnut
Log, Tenn, at night by Night Riders
and who. 1t was feared, had been
murdered, as was Captain Rankin,
his law partner, arrived here unhurt
but suffering from shock and the
hardships of two days in the woods
without food.
Colonel Taylo- aid that after the
mob had hang Rankin and had
riddled his bod nth bullets there
was some discus n among them as
to what should done with Taylor.
Some wanted to lng him and shoot
him up, but Others thought it might
serve their purpose better to hold him
as hostage until they could exact a
promise that Re- foot Lake should
be free fishing .er.
While the disc sion was going on
Taylor. who is early seventy years
old, but spry as much younger man,
was left unattended few feet away.
Suddenly an inspiration came to
the old man. Knowing that most of
the mob's pistols had been emptied
into Rankin's body he decided TO
make a. break for freedom. He was
standing near deep arm of Reelfoot
Lake about fifty Yards across and
very deep. No sooner had he con-
ceived the idea than he dived into
the water and. swimming below the
surface, came up near q log not far
from the opposite bank. He hid be-
hind this log and escaped the first
volley that was fired at him. Then
he ducked again and did not come up
again till he was almost at the shore.
Hundreds of shots were fred, but
there was little light to guide the
Night Riders aim and not one of the
bullets hit him. Reaching the shore
he got behind stump, where he re-
NAMED till the shooting ceased.
Then he made as good time as he
could through the forest.
When daylight came he got his
bearings from the sun. but was afraid
to return to Walnut Log for fear he
would be captured again Turning
toward the west. he made his way to
the cabin of q woodman. where he
got food and rested until morning,
when he came here.
He left for his home in Trenton.
having sent word to his family that
he was safe.
Il guess the world will regard me
as lucky, but after all simply played
a trick that any one in the heat of
battle with the odds against him
might play" was the modest state
ment made by Colonel Taylor. He
said he learned some of his tricks in
the Civil War, at which time he had
some experience with sharpshooters.
