Court They We're Drunk and

The Ku Klux Khan idea devel-
oped in the south after the Civil
war, was reversed In Milan last
night
The riding of horses and the
frightening of people were enacted,
only it was negroes who were do
ing the terrorizing, instead Of white
people.
For two hours some residents of
Milan were kept awake by the
horse races that were being held
in the street in front of their
homes.
People travelling on the street
were accosted and insulted. 1t was
too dark to see faces of the horse
men and their actions caused no
little excitement.
Complaints placed with the
sheriff's force shortly after 10
o'clock resulted in the arrest of
Joe. Warden and Memo" Moore,
brothers and colored. They were
intoxicated.
Enjoying Selves.
In police court this morning they
admitted having been drinking and
said they were only enjoying them
selves. They said that they had a
team of horses hitched to a wagon,
but later decided to ride horseback.
Memo" said he remained in the
wagon.
Joe and Warden argued over the
outcome of a race and started to
fight. Memo" said he tried to
quiet them. Memo" was dismiss
ed. His brothers paid IS fines.

Declaring that he had just got ont

Smith, of Chattanooga, arrived here
about 4 p. m, Monday afternoon, en-
route to Chattanooga from Louis
vile, KY, with the stolen Ford car
once possessed by j. o. Carlston,
murdered on Signal Mountain.
Smith left Louisville Friday, but
when he got to Pelham found that
his troubles had just begun, for his
expressions regarding roads were
anything but complimentary, and he
did not have very good opinion of
the advice given him by natives as
to the distances, or the routes or con-
ditions of the roads, for they were
very much at variance.
Smith, it will be remembered, got
on the trail of the negro, Will Wash
ington, who stole the car, right away
and followed him up closely. The
negro or ossed Tennessee River at
Rankln's Ferry and went up the
mountain here in the night. The Of
ficer followed closely, asking for in
formation just enough to give him
the trail, aud finally overhauled him
at Louisville. He was taken back
to Chattanooga by rail, Smith re-
turning with captured car, Ford
runabout.
Carlston, who was an old man,
was found dead below a cliff on Sig
nal mountain about three weeks ago,
having been murdered. A will was
presented shortly afterwards by
man named Simon, which was dis
covered to be forgery. Simon has
been arrested and is to be tried for
the murder of Carlston. The negro,

an accomplice, fed with the auto
mobile.
