'the mental.stflain, Col. R. Zachary
Taylor reatihed herd after a miraeu..
lous escape from the night-riders at
Reel Foot Lake, who mudored his
partner, Captain Quinten Rankin.
His own story of his experiences
was told by him as follows: "Mon
day night last Captain Rankin and
I went to Reel Foot Lake in re
sponse to a letter from a Mr. Ca rpen
ter of Union City, who wanted to
lease some timber lands. On our ar.
rival at the lake we went to the Log
House, or WLrd Hotel, and early af.
ter supper retired. Some time dur
ing the night 'we were aroused by
some one knocking at our door, and
on opening the door a mob of mask
ed men was found standing in' the
hall. We were ordered to dress, and
as the leader of the mob said he
wanted to talk to us, we put on our
clothes and accompnied the men to
the back of the lake some distance
from the hotel.
"The leader of the mob
with us telling us we were
ing too much with Judge II::
were taking entirely too mr
eat in the lake. He said t uaL ,tdA
course of Harris and tlIe West Ten
nessee Land Company in prohibiting
free fishing was causing the starva
tion of women and children, and that
something had to be done.
"I never dreamed that the mob in
tended us any.harm, but just then the
mob threw a rope around Captairv
Rankin's neck and swung him to a
limb. He protested and said: 'Gen
tlemen, do not kill me,' and the reply
of the mob was a volley of 50 -shots.
"This was the first evidenhe of any
intention to harm us and wheri the
firing began I jumped into a bayou,
arnd madie for a sunken log. Behind
this I hid and the mob fired several
hundred shots into the log. They
evidently believed I wvas dead, for I
heard one of them say: "He 's dead'
and let him go,' and with that lhe
rode away.
"I remained in the water uhtil af-'
ter the mob was out of hearing rind'
went to an island in the lake where I
remained- all day Tuesday. At night
I started out and walked all night,
coming up to a huse at 6 o 'clock.
Wednesday morning."
Governor Directs. Search..
Union City, Tenn., Special.-Gocv
ernor Patterson, who arrived here
Wednesday night, began early Thurs
day to .direct operations toward ap
prehension of those concerned in th,s
murder of Captain Rankin at Reel'
Foot Lake. One hundred and fifty
militiamen, under command of CoL.
W. C. Tatom, arrived and were dis
tributed throughout the district.
Posses -started from this city tse
search ~for Colonel Taylor.
fiovernor Patterson gave out the.
folrowing statement before it was.
learned that Colonel Taylor had not
been killed:
"I have offered -the largest reward
the raw will permit for the arrest and
e'onviction of the assassins and have
ordered out troops. I have believed'
that the military should be the last
resort of a.State governed by law but
the time has now come when it is my
duty as Governor to use all the pow
er at my command to restore order
in the region where these assassina
tions have oceurred and to assist the
courts in the apprehension and pun
ishmnent of the perpetrators. It must'
be taken, by all as a pnrpose deliber
ately formed and I hope no man -or
body -of men anywhere in the State
will fail to understand it. We have
had enougha of lawless acts, of"
4hefts, intimidation and other meth
ods of terrorizing citizens and corn
