Sunday night, near Muddy creek,
which has been the rendezvous of
the gang, the party expected TO
catch them. They knew that Man [

that their horses were tired out.
Saturday evening, while passing

upon BlOunt county posse, headed
BY Thompson, PettigO and Ryan,
the former having been at the brick
mill when Mangrum's party at
tempted that robbery. The latter

for a few miles.

Love, Bailey and Keen went up the
railroad toward Erin. thence to
| Easley's, and thence over toward
Mrs. DOn's, where Love thought
I the gang would pass the night.
/ In the midst Of the storm of early

THE SCENE OF TIE CAPTURE.
About three O'Clock MondayInor-
ming, when watching Mrs. Don's
! house they saw two women within
/ making up fire and cooking n
/ breakfast. The pursUcrs knew
| what this meant. Determined to
| see who was Ina the house, Love
bolted in with his trusty gun i'm
hand, and to mislcad the women,
asked for the Vaughan boys, who
had been doing mischief in the
nci9hborhOOd The women said no
such boys were about. Love pOkcd
about under the beds TO satisfy
himself and then went oil rs though
convinced. But his rccOgniZance
only satisfied him that his men
were near at hand. Ionic Smith,
who had joined them from LOudOn,
had been left a short distance of
with the horses. Love and Bailey
took their station about two hun
dred yards from the house to watch
developments. While lying there
Love heard low muttcring noise
near by. Helistened and called the
attention Of Bailey to it, who pro-
uounced it owls. But Love knew
better, and bided his time. About
the dawn of morning one of the
women came from the house toward
them and ran upon them before
she knew it. Love stopped her, and
she went back to the house. Soon
after Love and Bailey moved up to-
ward the house where the owl
sound proceeded. AS they neared
Mangrum heard them, and suppos-
ing il was the women with his
breakfast he jumped up and crOwcd
as game as rooster. Seeing his
mistake he started to run, but
Love mad his gun drawn on him and
fired. Mangrum said, 81 am shot, :"
and started to run, but turned and
snapped his pistol twice, when
another load from Loves shot gun
brought him to the ground with his
right side and breast literally rid
died with shot. Bailey fired at
LOudermilk, as was the understand
ing, but i'm the terrible storm his
gun got wet, and it snapped. Loud
ermilk and Mangrum beth snapped
back, but their pistols were wet
and would not 90 Off. Love and
Bailey pursued Loudermilk short
distance, but fearing he would run
on to Smith, who had their horses,
! they turned to look after them.
THE WOUNDED PRISONER.
When Love got back to Mangrum
he asked him for the pistol he had
shot him with. Mangrum gave it
MP, when Love said, 81 9neSs pll
have to shoot you, john" As cool
as though asking for drink of wa
ter. Mangrum asked him not to do
il, saying at the same time, "You
have fixed me up already" "Y Gu
never spared your innocent victims
when you robbed them, and | do
not see why should spare you"
But Mangrum asked for his life, and
Love, who had not intended to shoot
him, promised not to harm him If
he would tell the truth about the
plot to take his life. Mangrum then
told him all about it, as we have
given it at the beginning.
1t seems that the low muttering
heard by Love and Bailey during
the night proceeded from under a
pine tree, where Mangrum and
LOudermilk had been sleeping all
= night on bed made of shucks and
pine boughs covered with blanket.
A pretty rough bed, considering the
night, and turned out TO be n rough
= locality in the morning.
Mangrum was taken to the rail-
= road and brought to Knoxville on
the noon train Monday, aud hauled
to the Jail, surrounded by a large
crowd. He was suffering from his
wounds
Loudermilk escaped, but parties
Lare after him in close pursuit, and
it is expected that he will certainly
be taken.
Sheriff Gosselt and his party
missed being at the capture by be-
ing misled by wrong information.
. He went TO London and came up
after Mangrum was taken. Love,
on delivering his prisoner, was
promptly paid the 800 reward of
fered by Sheriff Gossett.
The horses the dcspcradOes have
been riding were also brought to
the city yesterday and were at once
recognized as the property of Frank
and Henry Walker. They had been
stolen from their farm Il few miles
from Kingston, some time since,
, and a reward of $40 for one and S25
: for the other had been offered and
published by the owners. Mr.. Love,
of course, is entitled to, and will
doubtless receive the above named
rewards. The horses were left at
