Tenant mob sets fire to tobacco factories at Princeton
A mob of 300 masked men destroyed two large tobacco stemmeries in Princeton Kentucky with fires set to the buildings. The night marshal was seized and disarmed, and residents could not aid the fire due to mob guards. About 150,000 pounds of tobacco burned in each plant, one tied to American Snuff and the other to Imperial Tobacco. Authorities consider this a riot linked to Dark Tobacco Growers Protective Association agitation.
