SCENE OF MURDER
UNDER MARTIAL LAW.

EFFORT to PUNiSH TENNESSEE
MURDERERS
KM PHIS, Ten u., October Uo: ?
Tomorrow, with the convening of
the court for Ohio c>untj in special
session at Union City to investigate
the death cf Quentiu Rankin, who
was killed by a "night-rider" band in
the vicinity of Reelfoot lake last
Mor.day night, that region will be
under the complete domination of
military rule.
Five companies of the Stata
National Guard will be at the
disposal of Col Tatom to enforce
martial law, and it is purposed to
gather in every member of the band, i
To aid the militia, the adjoining '
conn ties have been drawn on for]1
(
Armed bands of picked men.
Should this this force be inadequate (
to cope with the situation, it is <
declared that ttie eutire military i
force of the State will be concentrated
if necessary.
In the lieelfoot lake region, the (
lake itself is the source ot contention (
which brought fourth the activity of
the night rider organization. It was (
oon tended bv those living near the
o (
2ake that it was their right to ply
their vocation as tishermen in its
i
waters without molestation, while
the owner of the land on the shores
of the lake took an opposite view,
in the courts the latter, the Western ,
Tennessee Land company, of which
C'apt Rankin and Col R Z Taylor
of Trenton were the orgaui/.ers, was
upheld.
Tien ensued night-rider warnings*
threatening death to those whoopposed
the wishes of the members of
the band. It was on the first visit
to the lake region in many months
that Capt Rankin was killed. Men
connected with or supporting the
laDdowneis have been forced to leave
their homes, and others, who refused
to obey the warnings, were
punished corporally. Notwithstanding
the efforts of the local
officers the depredations continued
for a year. The situation became more
" i ail
and more ana more serious, uum,
with the killing of Capt Kankin, it
proved neccessary for the State
officers to act from Nashville. Two
companies of troops were sent forward
the day following the lynch-)
iug and Gov Patterson went to the
.scene to direct the work of ferreting
out the members of the mob.
Two other military companies
went from Memphis. Of a number
of men arrested 10 are held and it f
is promised that when the grand i
jury is convened tomorrow sufficient;
evidence will be furnished to bring1
about the indictment of every mem- !
ber of the night-rider organization.'
The court will be under the pro-i
tection of a company of milita that
will be sent from Nashville to- j
morrow.
Governors of several States have
approved of a suggestion of Govi
Patterson that a conference of the
executives of the different States be
held and plaus devised whereby they
-can act in concert in an effort to
destroy night-rider organizations.
Go? Noel of Mississippi, Gov ,
Pindallof Arkansas and Gov Willson .
of Kentucky have already expressed (
themselves in approval of the pro
.THE (
IEW
5atterns we have never seen in MI
iy, Brown and Black.
These are
<3
posed conference.
FIFTY ONE MORE AR- '
RESTED
Forty-four more prisoners, including
two women, were brought in to (
day to Reel Foot Lake as a result of
the murder at Walnut Log last week
of Capt Quenten Rankin by masekd
night-riders. In addition, seven (
others, including one woman, were <
arrested by the troops, but paroled. <
Among those arrested are William J
Pratt, hotel keeper at Samburg; J D j
F Carpenter, Union City, attorney, s
who Col Taylor charges wrote letters [
to Taylor and Rankin which were <
instrumental in carrying them on \
the fatal trip to Walnut Log; Wm (
Brewer, a sixty-year-old faimer, his j
wife and sou. Aside from the ar- <
*
rests, the day passed quietly with *
the troops in the disturbed region, c
