MASKED MEN SEIZE
 MAN AND DISAPPEAR
Dramatic Seizure Staged by ku klux klan on Main
 Street at Batesville

Quite commotion was caused on the streets of Bates vile Saturday night about 8 o'clock when several masked men, said to be members of the Ku Klux Klan, seized a man who was standing on the side walk near Maxfields store, and carried him away in an auto- mobile.
 Although large number of people were on the street at the time, no one seems to know the Identity of the man who was seized and spirited away.
 The man was standing on the sidewalk when the cars carrying the supposed ku Klux drove up and came to sudden stop and lie was seized and placed in the car which was then driven rapidly away and disappeared down Broad street before the astonished spectators had hardly realized what had hap pened.
 It is said that near panic was caused among some negroes who witnessed the oc- eurrence.
 It is said that, as the SUD- posed Ku Klux drove away they threw out some large cards bearing the warning that "Lawlessness and immortality will not be permitted in Bates ville."

important Tonopah mines show
work done as follows.
The Tonopah Mining Company
shipped $50 tons from the Silver

crosscuts and raises on the eight
hundred level for mining purposes.
On the nine hundred two drifts are
in ore while prospecting in several
places continues for extension off
shoots of the Favorite and Mezpah
veins. Likewise crosscuts on the
Ten hundred are being run to pros
pect these veins. Two feet of ore is
showing in the east drift on the
south vein. Ventilation is to be
improved on the eleven hundred
level by driving the southeast cross
cut to a connection with the main
workings. Two raises for mining
purposes have been completed and
prospecting of the footwall of the
favorite vein and from stope eighty
is being DONE. A like objective
governs the work on the twelve
hundred. On the latter level ore
is opened up in drifts to the east
and west. A raise on the fourteen
hundred is being driven to ventilats
stope operations at the Tonopah ex
tension were curtailed during the
past two weeks by flooding of the
lower levels. The new pumps al
the Mckane shaft will be set by
the first of the month when it il
expected to resume at the norma
rate. The scope of operations will
be greatly increased when these
pumps are used by the unwaterina
of vast territory to the west Of
the present workings. 1t will also
be possible to attain greater depths
in the section. During the weel
