It is stated on authority, not easily conrovertible, that John Halverson and R. B. Thurman, were the ring leaders in the move to revamp and resurrect the dwindling Bourbon ranks, and that they caused several invitations to participate in the revival, to be sent out to members of the party, who, when they discovered the sponsors of the movement, decided to have nothing to do with it in died-in-thc-wo- ol j 1 any form of manner.
