Capt. Rankin, and in whose home Capt.
Rankin was reared, headed the long line
OF determined men boarding the train.
While it is intensely felt that justice
must be meted out to the guilty, there
is no feeling of mob violence here and it
is the sentiment of the town to abide the
action of the law.
Col. Taylor is still resting at his home
in South Trenton, where he is being
called upon by many friends, but the ter
rible tragedy at Walnutlog is not dis
cussed in his presence. The shock to his

PATTERSON WAS QUICK.
Ordered Posse to Go to Obion to Inves-
tigate Wild Alarm.


Union City, Tenn.-Considerable
alarm and uneasiness was experienced
here this morning when a telephone
message from Obion, sixteen miles
away, was received, stating that a
masked and armed man had entered the
house of Richard Beard and demanded
food for himself and a party of dozen
or more, whom he said were waiting for
him in the woods near the house. The
news was communicated to Gov. Patter-
son, who at once authorized Deputy
Sheriff Dyer of Obion to organize q
posse of twenty men and start in pur-
suit of the supposed night riders, who
dared to show themselves on the high
road in broad daylight.
Troops were asked for by Deputy
Dyer, but owing to the distance of Camp
Memo from Obion, it would have been
useless to have started them in pursuit.
L. 0. Morris, who was here at the time,
secured a fast horse and made a rec
ord-breaking drive to Obion. In short
time he telephoned the news back to
Gov. Patterson that there was nothing
to substantiate the report, but that the
posse had been organized and was pre-
pared for any emergency.

ASTONlSHED THE DOCTOR
Old Lady Got Well with Change OF
Food.

A great scientist has said we can put
off "old age" if we can only nourish the
body properly.
To do this the right kind Of food, Of
course, Is necessary. The body manu-
features poisons in the stomach and
lntestines from certain kinds of food
stuffs and unless sufficient of the right
kind is used, the injurious elements
overcome the good.
my grandmother, II years DID,"
writes N. Y. lady, 'had been an In
valid for 18 years from what was
called consumption Of the stomach and
bowels. The doctor had given her up
to die.
Il saw so much about Grape-Nuts
that persuaded Grandmother to try
It. She could not keep anything on her
stomach for more than a few minutes.
She began Grape-Nuts with only
teaspoonful. AS that did not distress
her and as she could retain it, she took
q little more until she could take all of
1 teaspoonfuls at a meal.
Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one SO old and we
know Grape-Nuts saved her life.
"The doctor was astonished that In
stead Of dying she got well, and with

TROUBLES OF A
MODESTO AIRED
BEFORE JUSTICE
Court Reminds Spectators of Dress
making Establishment as Wit
nesses Discuss Cores,
Pleats and Ruffles

The wanderings of a green dress
brought a number of persons into Justice
Pierce's court and the judicial mind be-
came filled with more or less picturesque
exhibitions of cores. pleats and rutfles
while the princess, duchess and other
STYLES were discussed with such famili-
arity as to detail that person of mag
native propensities might close his or her
eyes and ponder on the mysteries of a
dressmaking establishment.
1t all grew out of an order for cos
tune given by Miss May Beyland TO the
Vienna Ladies Emporium. When the
dress was delivered Miss Beylard claimed
ii was not what she had ordered and
returned it, demanding her. deposit,
which was refused. and to enforce pay
ment the suit was taken into court.
Tho defendants said a mistake had
been made; that the wrong skirt had been
delivered to Miss Beylard and the right
skirt had been sent to another woman,
whose ideas ran in the same channel as
those of the plaintiff, so far rs colors
went. but who preferred somewhat diff
fercnt style
Miss Beyland's testimony was the piece
de resistance, and her answers to the
courts inquiries were of such ram
bling and extended nature she was fin
ally threatened with fine IL she did not
contine herself to the case.
'Well I've got to explain things" she
declared, testify, as the court admonished
her.
That's all right" said the justice, but
you answer questions and don't talk so
much"
Judgment was rendered in Miss Bey-
lands favor.

TAKES FIRM STAND
AGAINST FRATERNlTlES
No Secret Organizations Will Be Al
lowed at Polytechnic High School,
Says Principal in Address
to Pupils

There will be no fraternities in the
Polytechnic high school, The idea of hav-
ing such organizations is not in SYM
pathy with the democratic spirit for
which the school stands" said Principal
John II. Francis yesterday in the audi
torlum before the students of the institu-
ton.
Mr.. Francis had heard that certain
pupils were endeavoring to organize a
secret society and in order to prevent any
i'll effects that might be caused by such
an organization he has taken strong
stand against secret orders, no matter
for what purpose they may be formed.
Since the trouble the board OF educa-
ton had with boys of the Los Angeles
high school on the frat question. it has
adopted measures to prevent such or
ganizations in either high school.
Mr.. Francis was greeted viii loud APP
plause as he set forth his argument
against the idea. He outlined in vivid
manner the reasons why the frat must
be prohibited, and convinced most of the
young people the idea would be OF little
or no advantage to themselves.
Preceding Mr.. Francis address, Yer
non Betton, the boy soprano, rendered
several selections. Young Betton was as
sisted by his brother Roy, who accom-
panied him on the piano.
