Five hundred "night riders," masked and heavily armed, march ed into Hopkinsville early to-day and destroyed property valued at over $200,000, while citizens, in terror of their lives, feared even to open their windows. The police, fire department, telephone and tele graph offices, and even the railroad stations, were in possession of a wild mob, shooting right and left, flames from burning buildings meanwhile lighting up the city and the surrounding country until it seemed that the whole town was ablaze. Windows in the front of busi ness houses aud banks on the main street of the city were shot out and the entire front of one newspaper, which had been especially severe iu its condemnations of the raids of the "night riders," and which was owned by the mayor of the city, was demolished.

The musician was sick. They heard, by some means, that I played the fiddle, which I did, I also had a cymbal, which I could turn to make a considerable noise. Mr. Bamum sent for me and I went with my cymbal, and they put us up on top of a panther cage to play, ofcourse we got a free ticket. Jim Scott played with me. He has been dead 56 or 60 years . When he began to climb up on the cage the panther became en raged and reached out his paw, through the bars, and came so near reaching his coat that it alarmed him so that he could hard ly play a tune. I commenced playing the fiddle when I was about 14 years old and and followed it pretty regular for 25 or 30 years. Weut far and near to play at quiltings, weddings and exhibitions. Never played a tune lor dancing, not because I objected to it, which I do not, the young folks did not dance then as now. If a church member danced then they, would ex pell him asquick as if he had stole a chicken. Now the church members arc the best dancers we have.
