remind me of gang of boys trying to
whip ont yellow jacket nest. They
jump in and ont too much, not regu-
lar and don't stick. Boys, l want you
to come right on regularly every week
with your part of the News. The way
you jig in and out loose sight of You
and all the territory wherein You re-
side. Don't let me have to call your
attention to your duty the End time
If do will have the night riders
here to give you small tip.
have come to the conclusion that
the proper name to be given to this
night rider league should be the law
and Older league. as they are compos-
ed principally of the best citizens the
town affords, and stand for law and
order. Why not then, the name sug-
gest, Claw and Order League Well,
here are some of last weeks proceed
ings. One big man living in north
Whitwell, was hitched TO a sled and
pulled two large men on the sled
half mile and back with all ease.
The only report from him next day
was little sore under the collar. An
other case in SouthtowD reported to
head quarters was young buck who
was charged with public drunkenness
and lettering around house Of ILL
fame. was taken ont and stripped,
bridled and 15-year old boy put ON
his back with Texas spurs and rode mp
and down the back alley in front OF
said house of prostitution on his hands
and feet, and now and then some of
the order would cry to the boy rider,
"Put the clamps to him., and a few
pricks in the TANKS from those spurs
were said to get the answer. The fe-
male sex got very sharp notice to
cut out all immoral conduct, either
leave town or go to work at once.
They all were heard from next day
and had found job and were at work.
Another funny case reported was a
worthless vagabond lad located out on
the mountain with worthless prosti-
tute. The Riders gave them quick
call and brought them from the den to
the valley. The band made the young
gent carry the dear beloved on his
back four miles to the railroad station
The gent got job in the mines. All
went off lovely.
The courts here will have to adjourn
on account Of nothing to do. Nearly
all cases are now settled outside the
courts with no officer or attorneys fees
attached. On two cases up Saturday
on file, State VS.. Dave Griffith, carry
ing pistol, case dismissed on default
of prosecutor. Henry MCGOWAN VS..
Will Stone and the Grand View Coal
& Timber Co.. was settled by giving
Judgement to the plaintiff. w. Fl.
White was the only attorney showing
up Saturday. He represented the two
above cases before Esq. Holloway's
court.
Another funny circumstance occurred
recently in certain land suit, and
when the attorney was taking deposit
tions they put certain noted witness
on the stand and cross examined him.
When asked what his occupation was
he said, II am professional polite
ionist," and that went down in writ
ing in that land suit.
