 RAISE RATES NOW
Railroad Commission Is Enjoined From Enforcing 2-Cent Passenger Rate and Maximum Freight Rate Law
 Roads Must Give Bonds.

St. Louis, Sept. 19.-Federal Judge Jacob Trieber of Little Rock yesterday granted tenn porary injunction to the Kansas City Southern Railway restrain ing the Arkansas Board of Rail- road Commissioners from enforc- ing the maximum freight tariff law and the 2-cent passenger rate law.

 The railroad Is required 10 issue to each passenger coupon with the ticket showing the price paid and to each shipper of freight a receipt showing the amount he would have paid if no injunction had been issued.
 Should the injunction be dis solved the road must return this difference to passengers and ship pers with interest for the period the restraining order was in force.

A "NIGHT RIDING'
 FAKE IS EXPLODED
Story Was Started by Joke Played on William Craddock, Whose Horse Has Caused a Disturbance
 Switches Tied to Barn.

Jonesooro, Sept. 20. Reports to the effect that nigh. riders have appeared recently near Lake City were exploded yesterday when 1t was learned from a num- Der of reliable sources, after a thorough investigation, that no night riders have appeared any where and that the reports 10 that effect were the result of a joke played on William Craddock of Lake City.
 MT. Craddock owns a horse which is alleged to have created a disturbance in Lake City and which, it is said, caused some of the residents of that place to re- mark, in a joking manner, that they intended to have an ordi- nance passed by the city council prohibiting the animal from ap- bearing on the streets. Shortly ofterward, according to the infor- nation secured, switches were found by MT. Craddock pinned on the door of his barn in which the horse was kept.
 Investigation has brought to light the tact that the joke on MT. Craddock resulted in the scattering of rumors to the effect that night riders had appeared in this section and that the one in- stance, which was intended as joke, was the sole and only basis for all the reports which gained in magnitude as they were spread, until 1t has been flashed across the entire continent that night riders, supposed to be members of the Arkansas Farmers Union. have appeared in this county and made many dire threats.
 The reports have caused gen. eral consternation among officers of the Farmers Union, who have started an investigation, Ac. cording to reports tbe band of nie ht riders who were alleged to have appeared last week were members of the union and made threats which were directly con- nected with the Farmers Union interests. IL was alleged that they warned number of farmers to hold their cotton for the mini mum price set by the union and that they also warned planters not to charge more than S4 rent for land which they had been renting for S5.
 A close investigation indicated that there was no truth whatever ia the rumors.
