brother, John Taylor, prisoner, being
brought to the Supreme Court, captured
the train, had it run through Loudon and to
Lenoir's, where they left, procured
horses and left going towards Kingston.
The details of this chapter of carnage and
eutlawry were fully set forth in our columns
yesterday, and were eagerly devoured by
every one. There was heavy demand for
our city papers all day, and in the afternoon
. large shipment of the Chattanooga Times
was made here, and they were also eagerly
devoured by the news hungry public.
The newspaper man and everybody who
was likely to have any information was
very frequently accosted on the streets all
day, and the burden of the song was for
information as to the progress of the pur-
suit. Various rumors were afloat all day,
but the first news received here that bore
any semblance of authenticity was received
on the 4:47 train from Chattanooga.
This train left Chattanooga at 1910 p. m,

ductor, we learned that there were reports
in Chattanooga, at the hour of leaving, to
the effect that Sharp's posse of men, armed
with Springfield rifles, had come to the
residence of Capt. Gillis Taylor, ex Sheriff
of Roane County, half an hour after the
Taylor boys left there. There was also a
rumor that their horses were captured
which rumor is confirmed further on in
this article. t5E# .srr..
The report was that they had been at Gillis
Taylor's house aid had ordered him that if
he informed on them or followed them he
would be killed, re-f - 4'r.E.
DR.. b. B. Lenoir came up from Lenoirs
| on this same train. He informed US that
they had information of the Taylor boys
when they were within Z miles of
Kingston Thursday night, still riding the
three horses taken from W. B. Hope, VIM.
Bussell and DR.. Foute. DIR. henoir states
as was stated in our special from Loudon,
that they came to him and had him dress
John Taylor's wound in the left arm, which
was not a serious one. They told m what
they had done; that if they had luck they
would probably send him the money to pay
for the surgical work, but if they sdidn't
| have luck he wouldn't getit. They also told
him they must have some horses,
His horse was hitched to the rack and he
had been riding him. He asked them not
to take him. They obeyed, but went to the
stable and took the three horses mentioned
in our special They promised to send the
horses back that night, but they had not
been returned when the Doctor left home
