Bud Harris
Bud Farris was held in the guard house at Union City, Tennessee. A Nashville dispatch printed in the Caldwell Tribune says a crowd of armed citizens took him from the guard house early one morning and hanged him from a tree at the fair grounds, and that he pleaded for his life in vain. The Springfield Globe-Republic reported that a mob took him from the jail on Monday night, April 13, 1885, and hanged him. The two accounts differ on where he was held and when the mob came for him.
