UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Determined Effort TO Break Up
Night Rider Bands.

Many Members Have Been Arrested.
Circuit Court at Union City, Tenn,
investigating the Lynchng of Cap
tain Rankin-Conference of South
ern Governors Planned to Act In Con.
cert Against Organized Night Riders.
What may happen this week, as
result of the investigation of night
rider depredations, in the northwest
ern part of Tennessee, is a matter of
conjecture.
When the circuit court at Union
City convened in special session to in
vestigate the lynching of Captain
Quentin Rankin by night rider band
near Reelfoot lake Monday night of
last week that region is under the
complete domination of military rule.
Five companies of the state National
Guard, and more if required, will en-
force martial law. 1t is purposed to
gather in every member of the band
of night riders.
The Reelfoot lake is the source of
contention that caused the activity of
the night riders. Those living near
the lake claimed it was their right to
ply their vocation as fishermen in its
waters without molestation, while the
Western Tennessee Land company,
the cwncr of the land on the shores
of the lake, took an opposite view.
The courts upheld the latter conten-
tion.
Then followed night rider threats
of death to those who opposed the
wishes of the members of the band.
1t was on the first visit in many
months to the lake region that Captain
Rankin, one Of the organizers of the
company, was killed Men connected
with or supporting the land owners
have been forced to leave their
homes. and others who refused to
obey the warnings were punished cor
porally.
Governors of several states of the
South have approved of a suggestion
of Governor Patterson, that a confer
ence of the executives of the different
states be held and plans devised
whereby they can act in concert in an
effort to destroy night rider organiza-
tions.
