SHAMEFUL SCENES
ON PUBLIC street

Last Monday the Indians of
this vicinity, secured from an un-
known source, booze galore and
spent the day in quarreling and
lighting among themselves in
different parts of town without fear
of arrest. late in the afternoon
Sheriff Wyatt, with his deputy
c. Falcke, arrived and immediate.
ly the drunken red men silently
stole away to their camps.
In the evening the officers ar
rested two hard looking character
ers, suspicioned as the guilty ones
who had furnishing the whiskey,
but for lack of direct evidence were
turned loose the following day.
A brother Of Chas. Kaiser, was
one of the Indians who was on a
rampage, and is reported to have
endeavored to strangle the little
girl that was made motherless by
bullet fired by his brother. She
appealed to some white friends for
shelter and protection which was
quickly given and prevented him
from following his condemned
brother to the gallows.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Constantly emitting smoke and no
visible fire causes the passer-by to
sit up and take notice as one goes
along the railroad at the rear of
Ledford & Randle's store. The
cause of this creepy sensation is the
result of FIRE which occurred four
months and half ago. when the
warehouse of Ledford & Ranile and
the Hickman Grocery Co. we're de.
stroyed. The cinders under the
railroad track caught fire at that
time and have burned slowly every
since. Just how much fire may be
under the track no one knows, but
the length of time it has continued
to burn is something unsual. The
railroad company may yet be forced
to quench this subteIranean furnace
to save their ties and avoid further
danger of greater conhagration.

This latter purpose was not re-
vesled, and when the first wholesale
arrests we're made il dawned upon
the hill and lake men what they
really came for.
First ten. then twenty, then thirty
and then fifty we're arrested. This
number grew and grew until there

sent to Nashville and there death
claimed two OF them. Others were
taken 10 Dyersburg and still others,
the majority OF them, we're taken to
Union City and confined in the mill
tary barracks, established near the
court house.
For thirty days the grand jury
was in session. The special term Of
court, which was convened on the
Monday following the murder, was
attacked in writs of habeas corpus
by the counsel for the night riders.
The state delayed the trail, refused
to show its hand prematurely and
finally had all of the night riders
reindicted by a grand jury, about
which there could be no question OF
legality raised.
The state annouced ready for trial
the early part Of December, and at
ter the preliminary skirmishing for
jurymen, the box was filled on Dec
III. A mine had been exploded I'M
der the defense when the court ruled
il was not entitled to but twenty-four
challenges, instead OF 1916, as when
the defens e's counsel challenged
they did not designate to which one
OF the eight defendants the challenge
was TO be charged, ii was charged
TO all Of them.
Thus in reality each one of the de-
PENDANTS had his twenty-four peremp'
tory challenges.
The trial, the exciting scenes. the
sensational evidence and the thrill
ing sideliehts. are still too fresh IL
the minds OF every one for a re-
hearing now. And now comes the
conviction as climax TO II all.

crowding. Doors will usually be left
open, either allowing the sheep to
pass in and out at will, or using fire
covered gates in the doorwayA
In case Of early lambs or in severe
storms the doors can be closed, and
effective ventilation supplied by the
open sash covered with heavy muslin.
This material Is being much used for
poultry houses. and is good for other
farm buildings also. While enough
air will pass through for ventilation,
the cloth will largely stop wind and
is nearly as warm as glass, especially
In still cold. He who has noticed
how much warmer a bedroom is with
the windows screened with mosquito
netting than with wire will appreciate
the effect of the muslin in "entan-
Cling" the air. Still, the correct way
is to use two thicknesses of cloth !; the
air space formed being very effective,
while not preventing ventilation.
Landing pens are on south side,
and can be thrown together when
not required for separate use. Par
titions are Of wire fencing, with gates
Of same on wood frames. Remainder
Of building can be divided with SOM
material as seems best, changing
when necessary. Feeding racks are
movable.
No provision is made for storage
of grain or roughage. Feeding is SO
largely "in the open" that it is often
best to bring the feeds from the barn
as needed. The overhead track will
carry food or manure 1t would Of
ten be better to attach the building
to the main barn. :.

SAID SCHIVELY WILL
RESIGN OFFICE SOON

Seattle, May 1O.-The Olympia COR
respondent of the Post-lntelligencer
says:
John H. Schively will resign his Of
fee of insurance commissioner of the
state.
He has alreay announced that he
would resign were it not for the fear
that his bondsmen, if he resigned,
would surrender him into custody at
Spokane, and that he would go to Jail.
It is quite as much because of the effect
on the public mind, we're he jailed, as
the fear of actual imprisonment that
has deferred him so far from taking
the step that would retire him to pri-
vate life. But he certainly will resign,
and, having SO determined, is fouting

making desperate efforts to cur 9TH

MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY
CANADIAN FOREST FIRES

Kamloops. B. c., May 10.-Hun-
dreds of thousands Of dollars worth of
porperty destroyed and scores of ranch
ers forced to flee for their lives are the
results of a disastrous bush fire that
swept the country from Notch Hill as
far east as Three Valley and south
from Sicamous as far as Vernon.
Among the losses are two sawmills,
both of whcih were totally consumed.
The big Carlin mill, located between
Happens siding and Notch Hill, was
wiped out with a loss of $75, 900, as
was also the Carrigan mill, on Salmon
river, valued at $35, 600.
Barns and houses fell before the fire
and many cattle were lost, while many
settlers had to leave everything to save
their lives. The total losses in the
vicinity of Salmon Arm will reach
nearly half a million dollars. In the
Mara district the loss will be heaviest,
as scores of ranch properties were COM
pletely devastated.
