Tho celebrated Mer Rouge, kidnap
iug case, wliich, for four months has
ineffectually taxed all of the legal
machinery of the state of Louisiana in
its effort to solve, moved forward an
other chapter yesterday when national
guard troops were ordered to move to
Itustop, La., near Mer Itouge, originated
according to well informed observers in
a. feud between rival factious of More
house parish.
Although the KuKlux Kino organi
zations of Louisiana, Arkansas, and
Mississippi have been more or less
charged with being involved in these
mysterious disappearance of Major
Watt Daniels and Thomas Fletcher
Richards, citizms of Mer Rouge, fol
lowing the kidnaping of these and three
other Mer Rouge citizens on August
24, the ' conservative citizens of north
oust Louisiana believe thut the mysteri
ous case goes much decier than alleged
Ku Klux Klau auiuios-ity and is more
or less racial and rivals iu many re
spects, tho elobrato.l feuds of the
Cumberland mountains; of Kentucky,
Tennessee and Virginia.
Tho feudal light was said to have
been brewing for a quarter of a century
involving some of the leading families
of Mer Rouge and other parts of
Morehouse parish. A climax was
reached on August .2 1 when J. L. j
Daniels. 70 years old, former pronii-
neut Mer Rouge merchant ; Watt ,
Daniels, his aon; Thomas F. Richards;
Watt Davenport scion of a leading j
Louisiana family, and W. C. Audreys,:
a planter, were kidiiapjied by forty or i
graduate course at Johns Hopkins I'ni
versity, Hullimoro.
Roimrts were current throughout
Morehouse puii-dt this inuring that the
bodies of Watt Daniels and Thomas
Richards, had been located either iu
Cooper or LuFonrcho lake weighed
down with a wagon wheel, said to have
been taken from a farmer's vehicle by
tho bund of masked men who kidnaped
live Mer Itouge citizens on August 21,
two of whom have disappeared .
Officers of the Monroe military com
pany professed to have no information
regarding the reported hading of the
bodies.
Mayor It. L. Dade, of Mer Rouge,
said ho had been informed the bo,iies
of the men had been located but he
could not verify the reports.
Four detectives, said to have been
employed by the Department of Justice
at the direction of Attorney General
Daugherty have been working for months
on the kidnaping. Their headquarters
are iu Mer Rouge.
These detectives are said to have
located the boies of the missing men,
but they refuse to either affirm or deny
the report .
