YARD PLANTED WITH BOMBS
Judge Has Electric Battery for Pro-
lection Against Night Riders

Feeling that his only hope of protec
ton is in fighting his enemies with
their own weapons, Judge Harris of
Tiptonville. Tenn, has planted bombs
about his home connected with an
electric battery inside the house and
which can be exploded by pressing
one of many buttons in different
parts of the house.
Judge Harris has also appealed to
the federal authorities asking for
their assistance against his enemies.
The enemies in question are the
friends of the eight men convicted
of the murder of Capt. Quentin Rank
in, who was killed at his summer
home at Reel Foot Lake by night ri.
ders two years ago. Judge Harris
presided at the trial when the eight
men were convicted Of murder Later
the supreme court ofTennessee rev,
ersed his decision and committed the
men to jail
Their friends have sent various
notices to Judge Harris warning him
to take care and saying that they are
going to kill him. He returned home
from Memphis recently and found
that many outrages had been commit
! ted about his residence during his
short absence The men who have
warned him say that they have bombs
which will blow him to eternity.

Do They Own Cincinnati

Cincinnati.-Not long ago the lineal
descendants OF George Washington
caused the probate Of his will 20 be
opened. l07 years after his death.
Their object in doing so was to prove.
n they could that they were entitled
20 the greater part OF the land on
which the city OF Cincinnati is built.
Their claim rests upon an alleged
grant OF this land by congress 10
Washington as a partial reward for
his services IN the Revolutionary war.
They profess TO have the original
documents in which the land was
coded and which we're overlooked at
the time OF the generals death. partly
because OF the fact that at that time
the land had no particular value.
