INTERESTING
SESSION
Dandelion Pest Discussed. Fourth
of July Committee Appointed.
APlaCe Secured for Farm
ers To Hitch Their
Teams.

The Whtefsh Chamber of Commerce
met in regular session at the town hall
on Tuesday night, when an interesting
session was held. A few people who
were interested III holding Fourth of
July celebration were on hand to boost
the work along, but some OF those who
have had the most to say about ccle-
brating were conspicuously y absent. Not
enough citizens were present to accurate
ly gauge the sentiment of the town, and
committee was appointed to look into
the matter, with power to call a mass
meeting if they found that the sentiment
favored celebration. This committee is
composed of J. H. Cruin, H. J. McCabe,
P. J. McCabe, Ii. f. Doebler and Jos.
Reed.
Secretary H. ]. McCabe reported that
suitable ground had been secured as a
place upon which to erect hitching posts
where the farmers who come to town
could leave their teams, and he was in
structed to have the place properly
equipped. The lot selected is in the rear
OF the Munro & McFarlanc store, the use
of which is donated by the townsite COM
pany.
Judge Jos. Reed was appointed as a
committee OF one to look into the matter
OF interesting new arrivals in the county
in Whitetsh and vicinity. Many people
are expected to arrive in the county
during the next two months on account
of the reservation opening, and it is de-
sired to call their attention to this local
ity.
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings,
June and 8, were designated as park
cleaning days, and every citizen is in
vited to turn out on these evenings and
help clean up the park in the south part
of town.
The attention Of the organization was
called to the dandeion pest, and it was
pointed out that where previously there
had been only few OF these noxious
weeds, they are now appearing in
thousands. Various plans of extermina-
ton were discussed, and the sentiment of
the meeting was that the town council
should handle the matter by ordinance
to begin with. The dandelions are very
numerous this year, and it is plain to be
seen that if something is not done at
once it is going to be practically impos-
sible to have NICE lawns in Whitetish.

For Fourteen Night Riders
Found Guilty BY Jury
in Humphreys.
DECLARE JUDGE ERRED.
Convicted Tennesseeans to
BIS Held Responsible for
Further Disorders.

Waverly, Tenn May 13.-Judge
Cook yesterday morning fired a
bombshell into the night riders
camp Of Humphreys county. Upon
the defense indicating that a motion
would be offered for a new trial as
soon as it could be prepared, the
court, in language too plain to be
misunderstood, stated that he in
tended to put stop to the depreda-
tons if he had to secure a regiment
of soldiers to come here and patrol
the night riding district.
His talk from the bench was an
early morning sensation. He said
that if he had accepted the first YER
dict of the jury yesterday, he would
have been compelled to have imposed
the sentence of death to all defend
ants on trial ,as there were no grades
of punishment under the Kuklux
act. He was steadfast of the opin-
ion that he did not have any right to
release the defendants on bail under
indictments for violating the Kuklux
statement, but his present intention
was to release all men but two on
their own recognizance held under
the act and make them responsible
for all lawlessness committed in the
night rider district.
The unexpected action of the trial
Judge this morning is considered to
be solution of the whole trouble
here. If Judge Cook puts his plan
into execution he will make night
riders members of the State Guard
and force them to keep the peace.
The State lawyers have prepared
a written motion to present to the
court this afternoon demanding that
the death penalty be inflicted upon
the fourteen defendants under trial.
The State will insist that Judge Cook
was in error in retiring the jury for
the second time after the defendants
were declared guilty" without fix
ing a penalty, and that under the
Kudlux act, upon which the defend
ants are being tried, there was no
recourse but for the court to SEN
tence them to death.

day morning about A o'clock at her
home near Bennettstown. She was
quite feeble, having just recovered
from a spell of sickness and about
two weeks ago fell while walking on
the porch and broke one of her hips.
The shock, in addition to feebleness
from extreme old age. proved too
much and death came as relief.
Mrs. Brane was the widow of the
late Charles H. Brame and is sur
vived by one child, Mrs. j. B. Wall
with whom she made her home.
She united with the Methodist
church when quite young and was
a pious christian woman held in the

pastor, Rev. Archie, and the inter-
ment took place in the cemetery at
