Night Riders Raid Tobacco Farms Across Kentucky
Night riders struck Woodford and nearby counties burning barns storing tobacco and corn, seizing 5 000 pounds of leaf at Milton McLain’s Farm, and warning Capt James T. warning him not to plant beds. They moved into Scott and Midway areas, abducting a son, burning wagons, and confiscating tobacco. A 250 masked group attacked John Coffman’s home in Rockcastle County, firing over 500 shots and causing major damage. Authorities report tobacco confiscation as a new tactic in the tobacco district with 3 000 pounds moved from a Midway barn.
