INQUIRY TODAY
In Cadiz To Investigate Fresh
Outbreak Of Night Riding
In Tngg.

During the past week or ten days
the night riders have been active in
the neighborhood where the coun
ties Of Trigg, Lyon and Caldwell
join, and q number OF farmers have
been visited. though no violence has
yet been committed, Last Saturday
night was a busy night with them.
Some uneasiness has been felt on the
part of some of those visited, while
others are paying no attention to it.
Upon compliant being made known
to the officials Of Trigg. a court of
inquiry is to be held in Cadiz next
Saturday. About forty tobacco
growers in the northern and western
parts of the county have been sub
poenaed to be here on next Saturday
to testify about what they know of
these recent outbreaks.
The talk is freely INDUCED in that
there about four meeting places in
the three counties, Cedar Grove
school house being one the principal
points, and the leaders and some of
the others seem to be known to
many.
The officials of Trigg are deter.
mined to do what they can to stop
this trouble. and if the people will
furnish the proof. those who are
guilty may find themselves serving
terms in the penitentiary. The Off
GERS of Lyon and Caldwell should
take the matter up without further
delay, and the trouble stopped at
once. We understand the matter
has been mentioned to the Lyon
county grand jury, which is now in
session, and some developments may
follow.
The citizens should realize that un
less proof is furnished. officers will
be absolutely helpless to accomplish
any good. and they should not hest
tate to tell what they know when
called upon to do so. The sentiment
all over the country is strong against
this sort Of thing. and the people
generally are ready 70 stand by
those who will do their duty toward
breaking the matter up and tell
what they know.
On account Of the bearing the
trouble may have on all sections Of
the country if permitted to run
longer. large crowd win no doubt
be in town next Saturday to show
their interest in having the trouble
stopped before il goes any further
and harm comes to many good peo-
pie.
There is strong superstition that
the leaders are more or less ire.
spcnsible people who would rather
do wrong than right. and who care
nothing for the situation so fer as
handling tobacco is concerned

The Pole Attained.

That day was a beautiful one-a
light breeze from southeast, the tenn
perature minus % Celsius, (s.4 te-
srees below zero Fahrenhcit,) and the
ground and sledging were perfect.
The day went along as usual, and at
p. NJ, we made a halt.
According to our reckoning We had
reached our destination. All of us
gathered around the colors-a beauti-
ful silk fag-all hands taking hold of

The vast plateau on which the pole
Is standing got the name OF the king
Haakon VII Plateau" 1t is a vast
plain, alike in all directions; mile
after mile during the night we circled
around the camp.
In the fine weather We spent the fol.
lowing day taking series of observa-
tions from 6 A. NJ, to P. M. The re-
suit gave us SO degrees IS minutes.
In order to observe the pole as close
as possible we travelled, as near south

On Dec. II everything was in order
on the spot We fastened to the
ground little tent we had brought
along. q Norwegian flag, and the Fran

The Norwegian home at the South
Pole was called "Polheim."
The distance from our Winter quar-.
