NightrlderS Hang a Man Who
Helped Indlct Their Kind
HE WAS PROMINENT MAN
Mansfield HsrIeson Of Union City, Tenn,
Taken From His Bed Last Night.
His Body Was Found This
Morning.

Union city, Tenn, May i4-Probably
because he was member Of the grand
jury which indicted one hundred night
riders recently, Mansfield Harleson, a
prominent farmer was hanged last
night. He was taken from his bed By
a party Of men who are supposed TO be
nightriders or their sympathizers, and
his body was found this morning.
Mr.. Harleson, following the report Of
the special grand jury on the night
riders cases, has been threatened with
injury or death many times, and IL is
supposed that bis murder last night Is
the consummation Of one Of the threats.
Owing to the boldness Of the act and
the fact that the victim is one Of the
prominent citizens hereabouts the out
rage is expected to precipitate an at
tempt at reprisal and further grave
trouble is feared.

AFTER FIGHT WITH PUPIL
Principal Bemis Of NOrwell, Mass Is
Asked to Resign.

Norwell, Mass, May l4.-Because he
entered in to a fight with Edwin Osborn,
one Of his pupils, principal f. R. Bemis
Of the Norwell high school has been asked
to resign. Mr. Bemis absolutely refused
to do 90 when approached by Supt. Of
Schools J. S. Hayes until he has had a
hearing before the school board.
At first the school board, who had
recommended his resignation, refused to
grant a hearing, but after much per-
Euasion they set Monday afternoon as
the time when they would have the
matter aired.
It appears that Osborn was asleep with
his head on his desk when the principal
took him by the shoulder and told him
he must sit up. Osborn evidently OBJ
jected to the order, for he swung at the
principal with his right arm.
The principal retaliated and fight
was soon in progress. The pupil was
getting the worst Of the argument when
Osborn's friends among the class rushed
to his rescue. The screams of the girls
in the classroom brought submaster
Scott Osborn to the scene and he finally
managed to extricate the principal from
the struggling mass on the floor.
In the meanwhile pupils and parents
are awaiting the outcome Of the hearing
next Monday. Principal Bemis is not
attending school
