against the lives of Judge 7. A, r
Nelson and Attorney-Gcneral r, A
Mynatt were contained in letter re-
ceived Wednesday.

and were signed "A Friend" The

appeared TO be on piece of paper
torn from a child's school notebook,
"The one who wrote those threats
is a contemplate coward and is
afraid to come out in the open" said
Gen. Mynatt in reference to the
anonymous warning 20 prepare for

The envelope, containing the mes
sages, was a plain white one and was
addressed to Judge Nelson in purple
ink. The threats were written in
pencil.
On one side of the paper was writ
ten the following threat against the
life of Judge Nelson:
Knoxville, Tenn,
Judge T. A. r. Nelson,
"Dear Sir---Do you realize
how short your time is or do you
not? l am sure if you did you
would have but little time to
study court. You have dealt so
unjustly you must be repaid and
R. A. Mynatt also can rest as
sured he will receive his potion
in due season and lf you don't
go now you will the first oppor-
tunity. | will not be your as
sailant, but I have heard it dis
cussed. So prepare to meet your
God"
"A FRIEND"
On the other side of the paper was
threat against Gen, Mynatt, which
appeared to be written by different
person than the one who threatened
Judge Nelson. The warning was as
follows:
ar. A. Mynatt,
"You had better get ready for
your death is a-coming. You have
lived enough. We knew you was
not going to do nothing with US
when we tore up the Jail. Be on
your guard. Watch us well.
"a FRIEND"
At the bottom of the message was
4 cartoon of Gen. Mynatt and Judge
Nelson, with a bleeding heart between
md below the words, "as you love to
see blood she'd" Gen. Mynatt was
pictured with flaming red hair, and
in the cartoon, he was termed the
"red-headed peckerwood."
The authorities are endeavoring to
identify the sender, but Judge Nelson
and Gen. Mynatt expressed no fear

BIG BUSINESS BACKS
DRIVE AGAINST REDS.
American Financiers Send
Armies to Recover Russian
Holdings, Paris Says.

PARIS, Oct. 27.-The strongest
financial interests in the United
States are behind the anti-Bolshevist
drive, it has been learned from an
authentic source.
A powerful group of American
financiers, under the name of the
Russian-American Trading Company,
owning feet of vessels now trading
with non-Bolshevist Russia, includ-
ing Vladivostok and the Baltic ports,
has acquired the entire holdings of
the pre-war Russian syndicate which
controlled banks, railroads and-mines
throughout Russia
Most OF these properties were
seized by the Bolshevists; hence the
new drive against Petrograd and
Moscow, the source of the backing
of which has been a mystery until
now.

Of Watts that c. W. Baker, head of

out OF Monday nights descent of a

manding the removal Of the school
superintendent because. as the bur-
