Were Threatened.

During the early part OF 1909 and
again In 1910 some OF the larger to-
baccO growers OF Platte Clay and
Charlton counties received letters Of a
threatening nature because they per
sisted in increasing their acreage.
This epistles came from Kentucky.
At drst they we're treated In a
l~1dIcrous light, but when livestock OF
some OF the growers began to die mys-
teriously and barns and other out
houses we're found adre, complaint
was made to the federal postal author
files, who are sim investigating. One
or two letters limited a raid OF Ken
lucky night riders, but nothing Of
the kind ever happened. About this
time, by a coincidence several regi-
ments OF federal troops marched and
otherwise unanswered about in Ne
braska and Kansas, not so far away
from the Missouri tobacco center.
While there was nothing 70 connect
the two incidents, but a raid on the
part OF Kentucky night riders would
have been an interstate affair and
would have caused immediate inter
ference OF the part OF the federal
authorities.

In reality the saving was close to
