Mob Burns Tobacco Stemmeries in Princeton Kentucky
A mob of about three hundred rode into Princeton Kentucky and burned two tobacco stemmeries and set fire to another area. The town marshal was seized and disarmed, guards barred entry, and the telephone office was seized to prevent communications. The attacks followed a two year feud between growers selling at fixed high prices and an association seeking higher prices. The stemmeries burned belonged to the Imperial Tobacco Company and James Steger, with John G. Orr’s stemmery also destroyed.
