NIGHT RIDERS
USE THE LASH
Ten Men in Kentucky Town Given
> Vigorous Thrashing.
ONE A POLICE JUDGE
Four Were White and Six Negroes, and all
Are Suffering from Sore Backs.
Warning Given Aged Jurist.
ONE A POLICE JUDGE

Night riders, three hundred strong,
visited Eddyville, KY, at o'clock Sum
day morning and whipped ten men,
four Of them white and six negroes.
The white men, who are suffering from
sore backs as the result of a severe
chastisement with the switches, are:
Police Judge G. w. Rucker, Leslie
Woods, former city marshal; Press
Fralick, who occasionally acted as
deputy city marshal, and Grace Rob-
ertsAn, saloon porter
The connection between the whip
ping Of the white men and the negroes
and the tobacco war in western Ken
lucky Is not apparent and no one has
been able to offer any explanation.
None of the victims was known either
active or influential in opposition to
the farmers pooling movement. No
attempt was made at destroying stored
tobacco.
The riders were will drilled and well
armed. About so entered the town
from the direction of Trigg county,
and the remainder from the opposite
direction.
Over a thousand shots were fired
during the course of their stay, but
the only casualty reported is that of
young woman, whose face is said to
have been grazed by stray bullet.
The home of Judge Rucker was badly
damaged before the riders were able
to get hold of him, the walls being
riddled with bullets, doors and shut
tiers torn off, etc. After taking each
of the men to the edge of town and
whipping them, they were allowed to
return home.
After the Whippings had been adj
ministered, the mob awakened County
Judge w. L. Crumbaugh and warned
him that his immunity from similar
punishment hereafter depended entire
ly ON the friendship he was expected to
show the tobacco growers organiza-
ton. He was told that his gray hairs,
alone were responsible for his being
spared this time.
The only tobacco man visited was j.
Mr.. Bradshaw was ordered to close up
for one of the growers associations.
Mr.. Bradsha was ordered to close up
a billiard hall, which he owns.
Before leaving the town the riders
announced that they had not finished
their work and that they would return
before many days
