Manager +. ID. Rash has de-
cided TO divide the work Of the
motors at the Hecla mine, each
motor to pull It's own train from
mine to tip instead of the motor
crews changing trains at the half
way station at they now do. 1t
is thought that this will greatly
facilitate matters and increase
the output of coal perhaps tween
ty-five percent or more.
The ST. Bernard Mining Com
pany has opened up the No. A
mine at Arnold which coel-

is thought twill equal the-other

The dividing Of tho old No. II

work on the enginescrews, con-
sisting of Joe Brown and brother,
the distance being much short
ened and will cause an increase
in the production of coal. Even

Weigher Walker shipped nine
teen cars, a number that has not
been reached for some time be-
fore.
A young boy by the name Of

developed as TO allow the use of
seven machines at one time now ,

Near the bank, opposite the
firing night riders, Taylor threw
up his hands and pitched forward
over a log. Hundreds Of shots were

penetrated far enough to injure
him. Convinced that their vic

the slough to. examine the body,
but left the scene after about

Colonel X. u. Taylor go years
old, aud Captain Quentin Rank
in, prominent attorneys of Tren-
ton Tenn we're taken from
Wards Hotel at Walnut Log,
Tenn, fifteen miles from here
ut midnight by masked might
riders and one or both Of them
were murdered. Captain Rank
in's body was found this morning
riddled with bullets aud hanging
from tree a mile from the no.
tel. Efrots 20 find the body OF
Colonel Taylor have been futile.
Sheriff Eastwood, of Obion
county and a posse left Union
City this morning for the scene
of the murder. IL they meet
any OF the might riders" it is
expected that battle will be
fought. Sheriff Hays, OF Lake
county also,is on his way TO the
scene with a posse from Upton
vile.
The trouble which resulted in
the death Of Rankin aud Taylor
was caused by the passage of an
act by the Legislature reguIat-
ing fishing in Reelfoot Lake, a
short distance from Walnut Log.
"Night rider" disturbance over
the same matter occurred about
a year ago. Ever since then
Colonel Taylor and Capt. Rankin
had been IN receipt of threaten
ing letters, which they paid lit
tie heed.
Ap0nt lWehIy-EtNo N MVo
Mr.. Ward, manager of the no.
tel at Walnut Log, telephoned
Sid Waddell, a stakeholder in
the West Tennessee Land Com.
pany, that about IS masked men
came to his place a midnight.
=
They drew revolvers and called
for Taylor and Rankin. The
two men did not suspect trouble
and came down immediately.
AS the attorneys passed into the
front yard the assassins COW
cred them with their revolvers.
They were placed on horses be-
hind might riders aud careful
ly guarded. The mob turned
down the road toward Reelfoot
Lake. AT the edge of the lake
they produced a rope and placed
the moose about Capt. Rankin's
neck. The victim was strung UP
from a limb Of a tree. The mask
ed men then stepped back and
opened fire on the body, Kidding
it with BULLETS.
Leaving the body of Rankin
hanging, the assassins took COL
onel Taylor to another spot.
Search near Rankin's body has
failed 10 reveal a trace of Taylor.
Although it is believed that he
was murdered, the theory has
been advanced that perhaps h.
was spared so that the demands
of the masked men might be
granted.
