SEVEN DAYS

The sensational hit of years in
New York theatricals is "Seven
Days." the new comedy by Mary
Roberts Rineheart and Avery Hop
wood which Wagenhals & kemper
are now presenting at the Aston
theater. The piece came in quietly
and without any flourish of :rdmpets
and made such an instantaneous
success that it played to "stAnding
room only" on the second night.
Since then 1t has been the talk Of
the town, and the theater has been
entirely inadequate to hold the
crowds which have been beseiging
the box office for seats.

SWEAR TO CHARACTER.
Rider Witnesses Are Suddenly Trans.
formed TO States Side.

Union City, Tenn.-A half dozen
character witnesses summoned on
behalf Of the eight alleged night
riders now on trial, were suddenly
transformed into witnesses for the
state late Thursday. They included
Rev, John r. Wi4Iams. pastor of the
Christian church, Justice of the
Peace Stephen Fields, and five others
Each declared that Garrett Johnson
bore a good reputation and that Frank
Fehringer, who confessed. was of bad
repute,
Each also declared that ever since
the night riding began, Johnson was
suspected OF being captain of the
band.
The attorney general startled the
crowd by asking Justice Field if he
were not only sympathizer of night
riding, but an actual member of the
band?
Field vigorously denied the allega-
ton.

Jackson, Ky.-This town Thurs.
day night was terrorized be-
tween the two camps of former
sheriff Ed Callahan and the friends of
James T. Deaton for whose murder
Callahan is to be tried.
The main street down which
murderous bands have ridden shoot
Ing and cursing many times in the
past lies between the court house
where the Callahan faction is located
and the general store of the late
Judge James Hargis in which are the
Deatons.
In the woods near Lost Greek is
County Judge S. S. Tolbee, declaring
that he will not return to try Callahan
unless the governor sends troops TO
protect him from the two bands of
armed men in Jackson.
Governor Wilson is out Of the
state, and Lieutenant Governor Cox
thus far has refused to send any
troops.
Rife barrels could be seen plainly
Thursday night glinting on either side
OF the main street and including the
members Of the recently organized
Jackson Law and Order League, the
citizens were indoors, trembling to

forth
Callahan who gained much public
notice in the times of the Hargis
murder persuaded Sheriff Crawford
Wednesday TO escort him into town
with twenty armed men to face the
bar for the alleged murder thirteen
years ago Of James Deaton.
The party on arriving from Cal
lahans home in Crockettsville found
the Deaton men rallying and the two
bands took up positions opposite each
other and have been threatening ever
since.
Callahan says that this is the third
time he has come to Jackson to

clares il he is tried later ii will have
