NIGHT RIDERS AFTER

serves First hand information of
some OF their work was received :,
TINS week by General Manager NJ
Johnson of the Eureka Portrait Con-.
pany' In letter received from r
uriinth' foreman of a crew of ca,-
vassers' who have been at work in
christian and Trigg counties for sev.
eral weeks. Griffith tells how one NJ
MS men was attacked by night ridar,
and forced to leave the part of a
country he was working in. soliciting
pictures for enlargement He was
robbed of 800 by the men who caught
MIN, and warned him to leave and
never return. He was glad that they
did not take his life and saws he
does not regret the $50 since he got
away unscathed. According to Grit.
18th a man was shot and :,iIled iuse n
short time before his crew went TO
work in the neighborhod
The antipathy Of the night riders TO
picture canvassers, etc is said to
have been caused by the practice of
the state military authorities in send
ing troops to the troublous districts
last year in the guise of sewing ma.
chine agents, book agents, picture
agents and the like. The milltiameu
were after information of the riders
and the latter became very suspicious
of all strangers who came into the
community.
The letter of Griffith to the home Of
flee here SAYS:
We had some trouble with the
night riders; that is, some of the boys
did. | must not talk any and have

1T is awful the way everything is
