ing Citizens OfRObertSOn and
Montgomery Counties.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 6.-The
jury in the Robertson county night
rider case, styled Thomas Menees vs..
T. ]. Matthews and others, returned
Friday afternoon q verdict awarding
the plaintiff 81 800 actual and S13.-
500 punitive damages, or $4,000
damages for the alleged destruction
of a thresher belonging to Mr.. Me

night rider organizations, of which
it was claimed the defendants were
members.
The case Of Thomas Menees VS.. T.
j. Mathews and others was brought
in the United States court one year
ago. but was postponed to the pre-
sent term. The cause Of action, as
stated, was the destruction of a
thresher belonging to Thomas Me-
nees about July l6, 1907, and other
Expectations which Menees claimed
were of such nature that he was
compelled to move to Missouri. Al
the time of the explosion the thresh-
was on the farm of j. E. Woodruff,
near Adams, where ithad been taken
shortly after moving it from Nash
vile.
Much evidence was heard regard
ing an alleged boycott of Menees by
members of the association, not only
as merchant, but also as farmer.
AS the suit progressed the matter of
boycott was almost dropped. and
the fight made along other lines.
Between $50 and 200 witnesses were
examined, and number of them
were called back to the stand after
having been discharged.
The defendants in the case against
whom damages were awarded were:
T. ]. Matthews, R. s. Warfield, H.
