DEATH OF HENRY DIXON
Oldest Resident Of Bennington Passed
Away Last Evening.

Henry Dixon, the oldest resident of
Bennington, passed away at his home
on Union street last evening in the
93rd year of his age. He was a ma
tive Of ireland having been born in
Harristown, Leinster, Queens county
July 80, 1916 He came TO America
when 10 years Of age and to Benning-
ton in 1863 He married at Enosburg
in 1871 Anne Eaton who died in 1895
and of their five children, one boy and
four girls, but two survive, Mrs L..
W. Evans and Mrs. Charles T. Burt OF
this village.
Mr.. Dixon was an old line republi-
can. He cast his first vote for Har-
rison and Tyler. had voted in every
presidential election since that time
and had attended every town meeting
up to that Of last March when falling
health would not permit him to be
present.
The house in which he died was
! built 80 years ago, adjoining that
owned by the late George r. Dakin,
who died a few days ago. The two
houses were built at the same time
and the two men lived as neighbors
for the past third Of a century The
death of Mr. Dakin undoubtedly has
tened his passing away, heart disease
with which he had been afflicted dur
ing the past three or four years, being
the immediate cause of death. He
was member Of the Episcopal
church.

to Land Company,

Union City, Tenn, Oct 21.-As re-
suit of the outrages in the Reelfoot
Lake district, resulting In the death
by hanging of Capt. Quinton Rankin,
a prominent attorney Of Trenton and
the probable murder by shooting Of
Col R. q. Taylor, a millionaire law
yer, both of whom had been identified
with movements which resulted inS1eg

game, socalled nightriders who are &C.
cused of the crime are being searched
for in this and adjoining counties with
/ promise of a reward from Gov. Patter-
son Of $4,000 for the guilty ones, dead
or alive.
Capt Rankin's body was found
dangling in the woods early yesterday
morning. A lofty tree in the suburbs
Of Walnut Log, fifteen miles from here
had afforded the fishermen a conyen-
tent spot to hang their victim. They
stormed the house he was staying In
and seized him and Col. Taylor. The
latter Is supposed to have been shot
and thrown into Reelfoot Lake.
The cause Of the tragedy, II is be-
! lieyed, was the outcome Of a law suit
determined at a recent session of the
Chancery courts. The West Tennes-
( see land and Improvement company
had begun injunction proceedings
against persons living near the lake
enioining them from operating on the
lake and deciding, among other things
that the land company was the owner
of the lake. In view Of this judgment
Col Taylor and Capt Rankin went to
Walnut Lake, at the upper end Of the
lake. TO make a survey of the lands
under controversy. Col. Taylor was
a member Of the Land Improvement
Company and its president. Capt.
Rankin held stock in the company and
was its counsel.
Col Taylor and Capt. Rankin left
Monday going to Hickman and from
there by private conveyance, arriving
at Walnut Log late In the evening
Some time in the night fifty or more
masked men went to the Ward hotel
at Walnut Log and took Col. Taylor
and Capt Rankin from the house.

be told as there was no witnesses but
Capt Rankin's body was found short.
ly thereafter hanging on a limb with
head and body riddled with bullets.
The body of Col. Taylor up to this
hour has not been found, although It
is generally supposed that he was
either killed outright or crippled so
that he afterward succumbed to his
wounds
It is reported that about one.half OF
the mob we're for turning Col. Taylor
loose while the other half opposed t.
and that Taylor broke and ran away
and was shot in the attempt to escape
He was tracked to the bank Of the
bayou near by and to the edge OF the
water, but no further and all efforts
to locate him have been in vain so
far A searching party will leave
here in the morning to look for the
body.
