ATTORNEYS GET $4,000
Reward of $4,000 for Capture and
Conviction of the Night Riders
Has Never Been Claimed.

Nashville, March 22.-At q confer
ence between Gov. Patterson and Sec
rotary of State Goodloe Immediately
preceding the governors departure for
Washington, it was decided TO allow
$500 on the claims of the West Ten
nessee attorneys, who represented the
state in the Reelfoot lake night rider
trial at Union City. OF the amounts |
allowed on the accounts, Moore and
Hudgns, Union City, were allotted
$1,000; Stuttgart and Cobb, Union City,
5000 and S. p, Il. Hill, of Trenton,
$780, Acknowledgement Gates was not
present at the conference, and further
action was postponed. AS the governor
will be away from the city for about
two weeks, the matter will not come
up again before the middle of April.
In the meantime, nearly every one
seems to have forgotten all about that
SIC, 600 reward that was offered for the
capture and conviction OF the Reelioot
lake night riders. The night riders
were captured, but no one has ever
claimed the reward.
1t is said that since the sheriff of
Obion county was in duty bound to ar
rest the offenders he could not claim
any part of the reward, while the COM
panies of the state guard, being ordered
there by their commanders, could have
no part in the prize money. AS for
private individuals, such as Judge Har-
ris, Hillsman Taylor, Ernest Rice, and
others instrumental in captures, it is
doubtful whether or not they could
make any claims for the rewards. AT
any rate, no one has ever claimed the
money, and it is said that no one will
make any claims in this case.

KINNEY USES HIS FISTS
Speaker of the Senate Knocks

paper Owner.

Brownsville, Tenn, March 1S.-Wm.
Kinney, speaker of the state senate,
knocked down John r. Green, the vet
eran editor Of this place, ona prominent
corner this afternoon, inficting injuries,
which have Frustrated Mr.. Green.
The cause was a number Of editorials
that have appeared in the States
Graphic, of which Mr.. Green is owner,
criticising the course of Speaker Kin
ney in the legislature. The States
Graphic is an intense Patterson paper,
and it has assailed Mr. Kinney's de-
mocracy in forming coalition with
the republicans and organizing the leg
islature after signing the caucus call,
and in voting for himself.
Mr.. Green was standingon the corner
in front of the Presbyterian Church
talking to former Mayor w. w. Gran
dell, when Mr.. Kinney came up.
"Howdy, Will, he said as the speaker
approached.
Kinney's replyyit is alleged, was a
vile and unprintable epithet, following
by singing blow in the face, which
felled Mr.. Green to the street. Then
Kinney, it is charged, rained blow after
blow on the face of the PROSTATE man,
who was unable to ward them off. Mr..
Crandell, it is further claimed, tried tc
pull Kinney off, but, being much
smaller man, could not move him. All
the time, it is alleged, that Kinney was
cursing Green with unprintable oaths
A large crowd was soon attached u
the scene and several gentlemen seizeC
Mr.. Kinney and stopped the fight.
Mr.. Green's friends carried hin
home, where he was given medical at
tention. He is badly bruised about TIN
head and body and will be confined t.
his bed for several days.
Mr.. Green is sixty five years OF age
an eX-Confederate, and in delicat
health. At the time he was attacke'
/ it is said that he was standing wit
both hands in his overcoat pocket an
that he had no intimation that Kline

GOVERNOR HAS CONE EAST
Will Do Some Writing at the Con.
gressional Library-Also
Needs Rest.

Gov, Patterson announced last night
that he was going East for about ten
days. Mrs. Patterson will accompany
him. Gov. Patterson has been very
closely confined this winter and feels
that short rest will be of benefit to
him. He will spend considerable time
in Washington where he intends to
do some writing at the Congressional
Library. 1t is rumored that Gov. Pat
terson will go on the lecture platform
this summer, as Tennessee has been so
frequently before the world during the
past few months, and it is understood
that heSGovemor has received num-
Der of queries from chautauquas.
Gov. Patterson would make no state
ment il regard to his future political
plans, but he said he hoped there would
be a cessation of political turmoil foI
the present. "What the people want, y
he said, sis to get their bearings and to
fully understand the scope of the re.
cent legislation" He expressed de
light at the recent gift from the Pea
body Board of Trust for teachers
college in Nashville, and spoke in higl
terms of exGov. Peabody.

Speaker Kinney's Version.

Speaker Kinney, in long distance
conversation with The American last
night, denied that he struck Mr.. Green
while the latter was down, but adj
mitted that he had attacked Green be-
cause of newspaper attacks which had
been going on for months. Mr.. Kim
ney said that these attacks had cul-
minated in a long editorial in the
States Graphic yesterday, in which
Green, he charged, was responsible for
a number of statements which were
mot true"
When called by The American over
the long distance telephone, Speaker
Kinney at first declined to give any
statement regarding the affair. After
being questioned, however, he said that
