Tho (.rouble which resulted in the 1
d^ath of ('apt. KanUiu and Iho pmba- ;
bio murder of Col. Taylor was caused 1
by the passage of'an A el by the log- '
islaiure rogulaling fishing i:i Keel

Log.
A night rider disturbance ovo;- iho
same matter occurred over a year ago.
Ever since l-hon Col. Taylor ami Capt. i
Hankin have been in constant receipt <
of I hroatoning letters. t<? which they
paid lititle hood.
Mr. Ward, the manager of tho
Ward Hotel, at Walnut Log, telo- i
phoned Sid Waddoll, a stock-holder ;
in the West Tennessee Land com- |
pany, staiting that about 'Jo masked 1
night iridons camo to his hotel ait mid'VMiflilil'.
l;n?.l nitvliil
According to t.his report t-ho night
riders lined ii|> outside t'he hotel,
pulled out their revolvers and called
Col. Taylor >and Capt. Rankin. The
t>wo men'did not suspect trouble and
came down immediately. As ?|.he attorneys
pased into the front yard <?f
the hotel the night riders covered
them with -revolvers. Before ('apt.
Rankin and Col. Taylor had an op- ,
pout unity 'to rwlire they were snr- ,
rounded and seized. They were put (
^on (horses behind nigliit. riders and (
e,are.fuJly guarded. ,
The night riders then quickly took
up their inarch from the hotel, turn- ,
ing dmvn the road toward Keel Foot (
Lake. Proceeding to the edge of
Reel Foot Like the uiglM riders pulled
nut a rope and placed the noose
about ('apt. Rankin's neck.
Cap!. Kan kin was strung up from
a limb on the brink of the lake for the
f'isihinf}, privileges <. (' which 'lie 'had
contended with the night riders. The
.masked men then -stepped back and
'opened fire on the swinging body,
riddling it with bullets. Leaving the
^corpse of Oa.pt. Hank'tM hanging on

Military company in the SpanishBjineriean

HBfl'lio trouble between inhabitants on

to Walnut lioj; yesterday to set
about some legal |>:i]?e.rs.
No positive information has conn
direct from the searchers for Col
IV vlor or his body, but several persons,
who have come to Union City
say that up to "> o'clock this after
noon no trace of Col. Taylor had beei
found.
A man named Powell is said t<
have been forced to accompany tin
mob, which numbered about 80 members.
Powell had been stopping al
the hotel, ami when the riders called
every one out and compelled them k
line up, Powell, Col. Taylor, Capt
Rankin and the surveyor, whose nanu
is unkonwn, are said to have beer
taken -away.
Powell stales, it is said, that aftei
killing Rankin a vote was taken regarding
the disposition to he made ol
Taylor. During the dispute Tayloi
made a dash and jumped into the

number of shots were fired at him,
