Suits Against Nightriders.

! Some time back suit was brought in
the Circuit Court of Dyer County by
Mrs. Quentin Rankin and Col. r. q.
Taylor against certain alleged Night
riders of this county for the murder of
Capt. Quentin Rankin, husband of
plaintiff, Mrs. Rankin, on the 10th day
of October, 1908, on Reelfoot Lake, near
Walnut Log, and the malicious assault
on Col Taylor on the same occasion, in
the sum of $4,000 damages. This
step was taken on the part of the plain
tiffs because of the prejudice both for
and against the alleged Nightriders in
this county, and in order that a fair and
impartial trial might be had, as it was
thought that the defendants would re-
sist the suit, but it is now rumored in
the neighborhood where these alleged
Nightriders live, and in this city, that
the defendants have all permitted the
plaintiffs to take judgment against
them by default for the amount sued
for, namely, $25, 900 in each case.
These defendants, with the exception
of very limited number, are very poor
men, and some of those that had any
have transferred all their real
as well as their personal property, and
this judgment is of but little value UNI
less the property that has been conveyed
can be recovered. Just what steps will
be taken in the matter is not known.

Farmers, Attention

Did you ever see hogs as high as they
have been for the last six months? Do
you look for them to be cheaper within
the next twelve? We certainly do not
look for lower prices on this stock, and
want you to look into the matter for
yourself, and there is no reason why
you should not get $500 per Dbl. for
your corn by feeding to hogs. A num-
Der of farmers have made hundreds of
dollars already this year, and some in
the thousands. by handling hogs and
cattle. If you have not got the hogs
to feed, buy some. See us when you
want to buy or sell.

Of them were fatally hurt, though Ruth

Stood Eight for Acquitta1 in Brook

NEW YORK. February 5-The Brook
lyn jury before which William Cow. for
merly president of the International Trust
Company and director of the Borough
Bank Of Brooklyn. was tried on a charge
of the larceny of $145.O00. disagreed early
today, the vote standing eight for acquit-
tai and four for conviction. Cow was al
ready held under $4,000 bail. and this
was continued. The charge against him
was based on the withdrawal of $145,OOO
in the Borough Bank. 1t was charged, to
finance the organization of the Interna-
tional Trust Company. Another charge
of the larceny of $250OOO is also pending
against Cow. as are also three charges of
misdemeanor based on alleged overdrawal
of his account with the Borough Bank.
District Attorney Clarke said when 1t
became apparent that the jury would dis
agree that he would probably try Cow on
one of the misdemeanor charges. 1t is
believed that the second larceny charge
will not be pressed.
