New York. Feb 2s.-Practically the

The reason mainly advanced in the
last few days for the backwardness and
weakness of the Union Pacific shares

the level of positive assertion by many
large spectators. that the government
proposed TO ask the Federal courts for
an Injunction restraining the payment

company upon its shares OF stock held
by the Union Pacific, until the ques-

NIGHT RIDERS IN
FEAR OF PRISON
GRAND JURY WILL REC0NVENE
THIS MORNING
Prominent Tennesseans Declared to
Be Facing Certain Conviction.
Evidence Piled Up Against
Marauders
Especial to The Heraldl

UNION CITY, Tenn. Dec. 1S.-With
the meeting of the grand jury tomor-
row, after a brief adjournment, 1t Is
expected many more indictments VIII
be returned and that the crusade
against the night riders, whose depre-
dations have terrorized many sectlons
of the south, will be renewed with fresh
determination.
The fact that so many men, proml-
nent and otherwise, already nave. beeh
indicted, and apparently face conVle-
tion, if the statements of the prosecu-
tion are to be accepted as conserVa-
five. has spread CONSERVATION among
a. great number of men here who, 1t is
said, have secretly been connected with
the night riders for many years.
Evidence is not lacking, it is claimed,
and the men now under indictment are
said by the prosecution to be hopelessly
incriminated, so far as the accumula-
tion of damaging evidence is concerned.
Among the most prominent Of the
men now under indictment are Robert
Huffman. Robert Lee, Samuel Apple
white. Samuel Ransom, Garrett John-
son, Thomas Clark and j. E. Cloar.
Thomas Johnson, while not accused
of taking part in the murder or capt.
Rankin at Reelfoot lake, is indicted on
the charge of whipping a man Whlle
disguised with mask.
Under the laws of Tennessee this is a
serious offense, punishable by from one
TO ten years in the penitentiary.

riders at Reelfoot lake, whose murder
will be vividly recalled, was a veteran

TRY TO WRECK
BIG COLISEUM
TWO BUILDINGS SHATTERED
BY BOMB IN CHICAGO
Dastardly Attempt to Destroy Great
Exhibition Places on Eve of First
Ward Ball, Opposed by
Church
IRv Associated Press.l

CHICAGO, Dec. I3.-Two buildings
were wrecked and windows were shat
tered for block around by terrific
explosion of a bomb in an alley in
Wabash avenue near Sixteenth street
tonight.
1t was at first believed several peo-
pie had been killed by the crash, as Il
number were in the vicinity at the
time. Careful search of the debris by
police and firemen, however, failed TO
reveal any bodies
The wrecked building adjoins the
Coliseum, where the First ward bail,
the annual revel, against the holding
of which much opposition has been
made, is scheduled to be held tomor-
row night.
The report of the explosion was heard
for a mile. The congregation of Grace
Episcopal and Wabash Avenue Meth
odist Episcopal churches and guests of
nearby hotels rushed to the streets in
a panic.
A two-story frame building at 1913
Wabash avenue, which adjoins the
south wall of the Coliseum annex, i'm
mediately collapsed and took fire.
The fire leaped across an alleyway
and spread to another frame building,
which was also wrecked. Properties
of the Coliseum stored in the buildings
added fuel to the flames
Crowds of excited people, believing
the Coliseum had been blown up,
rushed to the scene. The police and
firemen began searching among the
debris in the belief that people were in
the building. 1t was reported that two
men had entered one of the buildings
q short time before.
That the bomb was intended for the
Coliseum the police express little
doubt.
one theory that the bomb was thrown
as another factor of the gamblers
war; which has been marked by the
throwing of a number of bombs in the
vicinity of alleged gambling resorts.
The twenty-seVenth explosion in that
series occurred a few weeks ago.
The First ward ball has long been a
source of contention.
Last week Rev. W. o. Waters, rector
of Grace Episcopal church, which adj
Joins the Coliseum on the north, sought
and failed to secure an injunction to
prevent the holding of the ball on the
ground that it was prejudicial to the
morals of the community.
The hall is supported by the First
warders, who are represented in the
city council by Michael Kenna and
John Coughlin, The p6pceeds of the
ball, estimated at from $4,000 to $685.
900, annually given, are used for the
campaign expenses of the alderman
