Night Riders Arrested.

A special from Tiptonville, says
Four Night Riders Of the band they
have in Lake county we're arrested
here yesterday and are in jail await
ing further investigation. The men
are Jim Marlborough, Bad Brandon.
mo. Darnell and Marion Thompson
Il is not believed that Thompson is
really implicated, but his arrest was
caused by the fact that Brandon
wore a coat identified as rhomp-
sons. The latter claims he loaned
the coat to Brandon.
Darnell has confessed and imph-
Gates Marlborough and Brandon.
The arrest grew out Of disorders
Saturday night. Il seems that the
Riders had decided to whip John
Burnett, a merchant OF the Fourth
District, and that they had a negro
in charge who was to apply the lash
10 Burnett. The negro escaped into
the house Of Jim Murphy and Muir
ply held the Riders al bay all night
with an empty shotgun.
Darnell. after his arrest, vas sur
rounded by $50 men, and after much
persuasion confessed.
There was a reign OF terror here
Friday night. c. W. Wynne, who
lives in the Fourth District, and who
was whipped two weeks ago, iele-
phoned that 100 Riders we're as
sembled at the bridge and intended
a raid on Tipionville. Il turned out
that the men claimed to be vigilanies
assembled to repulse a raid Of Riders
who had threatened to burn the
houses on the Bluff Of Reelfoot Lake
IN Obion. The men we're masked,
however, and their real identity or
purpose could not be ascertained.

gle CLARK, OF State Line, spent We'd
