PIkeon, and where the Kentuckans were concealed
When the Federals reached the abrupt angle Of the
road the Kentuckians opened a murderous fire upon
them which kept up for half hour The Fedcrals
signsly repulsed, and withdrew under cover Of
their artillery. The Ksntuckians had FIVE killed and
eight wounded. who sent ont after the fight,
to ascertain the extent of the enemys loss reported
that there we're, by actual count, 2ls killed and $50
wounded.
