Tiptonville, Tenn, Oct. 21.-Un-
harmed, save numerous scratches re.
ceived in a thirty.hour trip through
unfamiliar woods, and the fatigue
incident to the trip without food,
and the mental strain, Judge R.
Zach Taylor reached here this morn
ing after a miraculous escape from
night riders at Reelfoot Lake, who
murdered his partner, Capt Quintor
Rankin.
Judge Taylor's escape is due to g
daring dash for liberty while the
night riders were disputing among
themselves the best way to Kill him
RECITAL is DRAMATIC.
In statement at Tiptonville thi.
morning Col. Taylor said:
Monday night Capt. Rankin anC

to a letter from a Mr.. Carpenter, Of
Union City, who wanted to lease
some timber land. On our arriva
at the lake we went to the log house

Some time during the night we
were aroused by some one knocking
at our door, and on opening the door
mob of masked men were founo
standing in the hall. We were or.
dered to dress, and as the leader Of
the mob said he wanted to talk tc

panied the men to the banks of the

Of The Fatal Over
sight.

On the ground that David Smith
and Charles w. Morrison, Democra-
tic nominees for Sheriff and County
Judge, respectively, failed to file GER
tificates of nomination within fifteen
days of the election, G. L. Campbell
County Clerk, Thursday refused to
place their names on the official bal
lot. The Republicans claim the only
way these Democratic candidates can
be voted for will be by writing their
names on the ballot. The Democrats
claim that the law provides a way
FOR voting for them even if the names
are left off the ballot and that the
clerk of election is required to pre-
pare the ballot for each voter who is
unable to write the names of Messrs.
Morrison and Smith in the vacant
places on the ballot.
The Democratic candidates will
not be deferred by the absence of
their names on the ballot, but will
have a thorough organization to in
struct every voter how to write the
names on the ballot and inspectors to
see that the clerk prepares the bal
lots for illiterate voters.
The law provides that the certifi-
Gates of nomination shall be filed by
the officers of the convention making
the nomination. The officers were
James West. Chairman, and L., H..
Davis, Secretary. These gentlemen
relied upon some of the Democratic
advisers of the nominees to prepare
the paper for their signatures and
the formality was simply overlooked

ADAMS CASE
GOES To JURY
Damages Asked For Injuries
Received In An
Accident.
THREE SPEECHES MADE
Trial Occupied Two Days
And Was Concluded At4
O'clock Yesterday.

The trial of the damage suit of
Miss Dorothy Adams against the
city OF Hopkinsville and tho Meach-
am Construction Co. has taken up
the time of circuit court since
Thursday morning. The jury was
made up by eleven o'clock as follows:
H. H. jackson, Carl Long, VIM.
Pendleton, Jack Graves, E.P Hayes,
Robt. Renshaw, Jas. Diuguid, Geo.
Conway JAS. Willis, Ben Mccormack,
Elmer Adams and w. w. Barbee.
The plaintiff, a pretty young lady
with bright eyes and winning man
ners, told her story of the accident
on the night of Aug. 16, at the cor
ner of Campbell and Ninth Streets.
when Mr.. John Ducker drove over
pile of cinders and was thrown out
of the buggy. She was with Mr..
Ducker but remained in the vehicle
until the horse reached the post-of-
fee corner, when she jumped out and
sustained bruises from which she
did not recover for three weeks. She
said the horse ran rapidly at first
but she leaned over and patted him
and his speed was somewhat slack
ened, until shaft was broken, when
he again quickened his speed and
continued down Ninth street until
she jumped out. Miss Adams said
her knee was hurt and she was
troubled with nervous prostration
following the accident.
John Ducker also testified con-
cerning the accident in which he was
thrown on his head and rendered un-
conscious.
The city's contention was that the
buggy was being driven recklessly
and rapidly and that there was a
clear space of from 25 to 80 feet
along side the distractions being
used for building pavements, that
the streets were we'll lighted and
that the young lady lived near the
place and knew that the materials
were piled on the side of the street
upon which her escort attempted to
drive.
Many witnesses were introduced
to prove that the street at that point
was AZ feet wide.
Two colored workmen also testi-
fed that they placed lanterns on the
cinder piles and that the lanterns
were stolen. The taking of evid ence
was concluded at noon yesterday.
Speeches were made by Jno. B.
Russell and Walter Knight for the
defendants and by w. T. Fowler for
the plaintiff, Each side had an
hour and a quarter. The case went
to the jury at A o'clock.

by everybody. Congressman Stan
ley filed his certificate on Sept. 21st.
1t is claimed by some that while
the law fixes the time for official
notices to be filed, it is not a require
ment that prevents the clerk from
putting the names on the ballot
where the fact of their nomination
was known to him personally and
was in no sense doubted or disputed.
This opinion is entertained by some
of the highest judicial authorities in
the city.
The Courts have held that the
shortcomings of election officers can
not defeat the will of the voters in
holding elections and as the prepara-
ton of the ballots is one step in hold
ing an election, it is held that the
failue of the proper officers to certi-
fy the nomination cannot be made
a fatal oversight in depriving can
didate of the votes of those desiring
to support him.
County Clerk Campbell yesterday
expressed his willingness to put the
name in the ballot if it could be
done, but his legal advisers told him
it cauld not be done.
Col. r. A. Burnett of Cadiz, was
here yesterday and said the Republi.
can candidate for Congress in the
First district would not be on the
ballot in Trigg for the same reason
