WAVERLY, Tenn, April 21.-Last
night showed two exciting incidents,
with the soldiers bringing their guns
into play, the first shortly after mid
night and the other about 2 O'Clock.
In the first case the attention OF the
soldiers was attracted by the waving
of signal lights on prominence south
of the court house and opposite the
barracks. An investigation followed
and on the side of the court building
onposite the barracks, a man was
Jumped" by the militia. A dozen or
more shots were fired, but it is not
thought that the intruder was hit.
The soldiers had hardly got quleted
to their routine work, when tele-
phone call was had from the residence
of Mr.. F. A. jean Prowlers made
three attemDts to enter the residence
of this citizen. When the members OF
the guard reached the locality, hVe
shots we're fred at man who was
hurriedly leaving the Jean premises.
The citizens and soldiers felt almost
certain that the disturbers OF last
night were loafng persons, still there
is an undercurrent of excitement ano
MANY citizens are still of opinion tna'
there will be clash between the
troops and friends of the night riders
News received by the sheriff from the
