Kuttawa, KY, Feb. About rs
masked night riders rode into Dy-

o'clock this morning, burned the to-
bacco factory of Bennett Brothers,

Brothers adjoining, shot up the home
of William Groves, foreman of the
tobacco factory, driving him from
the building when he was captured
and whipped almost to death.
Henry Bennett, a member of the
firm of Bennett Brothers, was taken
from his home, tied to a tree and
severely whipped. He was left
bound to the tree. Bennett Brothers
operate an independent factory and
have been buying tobacco from non
association growers, it is claimed.
When the mob called at Mr..
Groves house they requested him to
come out. He declined to do so,
and the shooting at once began. Mr.
Groves was in a room with his wife
and children, ard as the bullets be.
gan to fly through the windows he
deemed it best to come out in order
to save the lives os his wife and
children.
AS he appeared on the porch mem.
bers of the mob grabbed and bound
him. Taking him into the street
they whipped him and left him lying
there. The mob then proceeded tt
the home of Henry Bennett anC
called to him to come out. Hastily
dressing, Mr.. Bennett obeyed the
command. He was then taken away,
tied to a tree and severely beaten.
Mrs. Bennett fought her way to her
husbands side, but was roughly
showed back, receiving some of the
blows herself. Benefits head and
body were terribly wounded.

FUNERAL THIS P. M. AT 2
Miss Julia DeTreville Pass
ed Into the Beyond
Tuesday.

Miss Julia DeTreville, second |
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. r. H.
DeTreville, died of heart lesion at
the home of her parents, on East
Eighteenth street, Tuesday morning
at 1880 o'clock.
The relatives and friends were
greatly shocked when informed Of |
her death. Though she had been
confined to her bed for several days
she was not considered in a danger
Gus condition. She was pronounced |
by the attendant physician to be
very i'll when he called Monday |
night, but it was thought she would
rally during the morning. She grad
ually grew weaker and weaker as
the morning hours passed and soon
it was evident to the doting mother
and father and those around her
bedside that the time for her depart
ure had come, and the gentle spirit
of the young woman assembled to the
One who sent it to this world TO
make home happy for only a score
of years.
The deceased would have been q
years Of age next July. She was a
young lady of peculiar beaut
bright of mind and loving dispN
ton, the idol of the home and WON
thy of the affection lavished upon
her. She was rather frail from
young childhood and never fully re-
covered from an illness of more than
a year ago, though she seemed to
have taken on new life after spend
ing several months in the mountains
of North Carolina. Coming home
looking as fresh as morning rose,
her parents and friends hoped that
her youth would eventually enable
her to overcome the trouble that
caused serious apprehension at
times. But it was not to be. Re-
morseless Death had marked her for
his victim and the sweet young girl,
patient in her illness, and with an
gelic submission, did not fear the
destroyer of happiness. She was
prepared for the end. In early child
hood she gave herself to Christ and
united with the church of her par
ents. She was so loving and pure
that she could wound no one by word
or entertain an evil thought.
In this, their first great sorrow,
the bereaved family have the sin
cerest sympathy of their many
friends. She will be sadly missed
in an ideal home, in her Sunday-school
class and by the EndeavOr Society of
her church. All that loving hands
could do, fond hearts suggest and
medical skill contribute to keep the
bright and beautiful flower, just
budded into young womanhood,
with US, failed. She was wanted in
the realm where there is no sorrow or
tears, and death just stopped and
kissed her to sleep to awaken in
heaven. May Gods sustaining
grace give the bereaved ones that
peace which the world cannot give"
nor sympathizing friends assure and
enable them to look up through
their tears and say from their broken
hearts, Thy will be done"
Funeral services will be held at
the family residence this afternoon
at 2 o'clock, conducted by the Rev.
E. H. Bull, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church. Interment in Riv-
erside Cemetery. The following
gentlemen will act as p, Il bearers:

signed to play as catcher. and when
appeared Mundell looked ME over and
said: You catch: You couldn't catch a
doe ball. Why. you aren't bigger than
a cigarette. You are too little, and sec
ond base for you this afternoon
weighed only 116 then and was about as
lanky as a cheese straw. I played short
four innings and Mundell then put me be-
hind the plate. I turned back seven

The thing that the Southern League has

that the Southern may get the worst OF
the deal 1t is true that the minor leagues
are closely banded together. and SO far
they have acted as unit, but if there IS
any cliancesof the others getting out of a

find itself in hole. So far President
Kavanaugh, the man who got the South

there, and II is believed that he will con-
tinue to do SO. II must not be thought.
however that this is easy thing 10 co
There has been a claim made that the
American Association and the Eastern
League pay higher salaries and have
better article of ball than the Southern
or the Western leagues. The salary prop
osition is willingly acknowledged. but as
to the quality of ball being better there
is considerable doubt. There is a differ
ence between the players in the American
Association and the Southern League. II
is true. And il Is this: The American AS
ISOLATION gathers more timber from the
big leagues. 1t takes more of the dis
cards from the big fellows than does tn"
Southern League. The Southern gives
more attention To the development OF
young players and because of that fact
sends as many, If not more. men to the
big leagues than any other minor league
organization.

The high position attained by Cieve-

Bush could play a big league third base
