CHAPTER XIV.

HUNTED IN THE WOODS BY DOGS AND MEN.
Dispersed in the woods with no knowl-
edge OF the country, and no guide toward
our own lines; with the alarm spreading
IN every direction, and the hearts of the
people on fire with fierce resentment be-
cause of the desperate character Of our
raid, the prospect Of escape for any of our
number was slight indeed. The south
was also better prepared for hunting
down fugitives than any other people
could have been where slavery was not
an established institution. Tracking men
over hills and mountains was no novelty;
and now for scores of miles IN every di-
rection from Chattanooga roads and fer
ries were guarded, cavalry galloped along
the roads, and the planters with their
packs Of negro hunting dogs explored
every wood Unfortunately, too, ready
mode of Identifying any member of the
band who might be captured was soon
discovered. On the way south we had
represented ourselves as from Fleming
county, Ky. This story was still con-
tinued. The first arrests were made the
very same day so close to the train that.
after this story had been told the men
were positively traced back to the train,
and then all who gave the same story were
known to belong to US.
We expected to die as soon as captureds
and there was degree OF evaporation
which rendered the risk OF instant shoot
ing or hanging very great. But there was
also desire for further investigation and
discovery which would be cut short by a
sudden staying Of the victim, and this
operated to bridge over the first furious
moment of capture, but did not prevent
the most fearful threats, and in one case
that of Parrots fearful beating. It
also led to rigor Of claiming and confine-
ment almost unparalleled.
We can only give the very briefest ac-
count OF these painful incidents, and viii
gladly hasten to other things.

one on each side, two walked In front
and four followed behind. could not
help telling the captain that they took
better care Of our men than we did OF
q long distance without any help, and
with no handouts on him. He did not
resent the implied reproach, only saying
that they meant to make sure of mel At
length we came to little brick building,
surrounded by q high board fence. 1t
stood, as I learned long afterward, on
Lookout street between Fourth and Fifth.
The ground sloped rapidly upward, 50 that
the back Of the Jail was built into the hill
while the front was level with the sur
face of the ground. The jail had two
stories with two rooms in each story. It
was quite high for its length and breadth.
The jailer and family lived In the upper
and lower rooms at the north end, and
the rooms at the south were the prisons,
the lower being entered only from the
upper, and that in turn only from the
tailer's room. This prison when built
was intended for the accommodation Of
negroes by their humane owners. An
other and much larger prison, In which
were confined the great majority OF white
offenders and atterward of war prisoners,
was situated on Fourth and Market
streets.
OWl4n6, Ouc JttIAcE, he4H . PcCO4lAE Cud1-
acter. He was old, perhaps 60, with
abundant white hair, and q dry and with
cred face. His voice was always keyed
on q whining tone, except when some
great cause, such as the requests Of pris-
onerS for an extra bucket OF water,
aroused his ire, when it rose to a hoarse
scream. Avarice was a strong trait. He
seemed to think his accommodations
vastly too good for negroes and cyan
koaG - and that yrhan admitted IN his
hospitality they should be thankful and
give as little trouble as possible. With
such notions it is easily seen how much
he could add to the sufferings OF prison
ers. One thing favorable was that he
was fond of dram, and when indulging
became very talkRtive, revealing many
things that we could not otherwise have
learned
We halted for q moment at the camp
fire of the guard outside the gate; then
Swims came out, grumbling about their
being disturbed SO much, and, unlocking
the gate, admitted us. We crossed the
yard, assembled the long outside stairway,
and from an outside landing entered the
bedroom. From this a door opened into
the prison. The room was quite small,
square, and entirely destitute of furniture
OF any kind except q long ladder, which
lay on the floor. There were five or six
old, miserable looking men in the room,
whose clothes hung in tatters, and who
presented a terribly starved, dirty and
wretched appearance. 1t was a dreadful
place, and shuddered at the idea of tax
ing up my abode in such den. But /
soon found was not to be so highly
favored, and little more experience was
sufficient to make me look almost with
envy upon these old men.
Said the jailer to the captain: ''Where
shall put hims'
"Below, of course" was the prompt
reply

Five were captured the first day; seven,
including myself, on the next day, which
was Sunday. The sufferings endured
even in this brief interval from hunger,
labor and suspense were indescribable.
Andrews and two companions were taken
on Monday; six more were captured near
the close of the week, having, however,
gone no further than / had done the first
day. This left only two of the whole
party at large, who, by getting boat and
drifting down the Tennessee, got virtually
within the Union lines, but then go
ing boldly forward in the daytime were
rillas and brought back some two weeks
after leaving the train. This completed
the capture of the whole party, and to this
terrible pass had our hopeful enterprise
resolved ITSELF We had been told that to
fall into the enemy's power was inevita-
BILE death, and we had no reason to doubt
it. Nothing in our treatment was of such
a nature as to inspire us with hope. We
were chained and tied in barbarous fash
ion, and confined in the most loathsome
dungeons, dark, filthy, and often under
ground, in Dalton, Marietta and else
where. Our food was of the coarest and
most scanty character. We were assured
everywhere that we would soon be hung
as soon as they could get us all gathered
IN at proper place. Gradually the whole
were assembled at Chattanooga, where
our confinement eliminated in unimag-
Unable horrors. I was the first one taken
there, having been captured in Lafayette,
Ga, twenty-five miles away, the second
day out! l Will describe somewhat min
utely my entrance into that terrible place,
which may serve as specimen of other
prisons we endured in the south.

But for the wetness Of the day all hfs
efforts even yet would have been foiled.
We now did what had been In the mind
Of Andrews, doubtless, for some time
past-what he might have tried even at
the Oostenaula bridge had not the inter
val between that and Calhoun been so
fearfully short. He ordered us to fire
our last car while we were running. Il
was said easily, but was much harder to
do. Everything about the car was as wet
As IL well could be. The rain fell In tor
rents, and the wood was drenched In the
tender. 1t was by no small effort and
skillfUl firing that the engine fire could
be kept at the heat required for fast run
ming. But desperate fingers tore every
thing combustible loose from the car, and
smashed Il into kindling Some blazing
fagots were stolen from the engine and
the fire made to burn. The rapid mo-
ton with driving rain was an obstacle at
first, but as we fed up the blaze and shell
tered 1t as well as possible, 1t grew rap
idly, till soon but one could stay on the
car and watch 1t, and all the others
crowded on the tender and locomotive.
The steam was now gradually shut on
that we might come slowly upon the
bridge and be able to leave the burning
car just at the right place. We came to
. full stop at this first ChickamauRa
bridge, q large one, and well covered. In
side It was at least drier than on the out
side, and we doubted not that with
time Il would burn well. The only ques-
ton was: ''Will that time be givenf' We
added almost the last of our oil and nearly
tho last stick of woodworking that q
wood station was not far ahead, and II
this bridge could be made to burn well,
we could have all the time we wanted to
get wood and everything else. In fact we
put life itself on this last throw, and left
ourselves, in case Of failure, hopelessly
bankrupt For q considerable time, as It
seemed to us, though 1t must have been
measured by seconds rather than minutes,
we remained on the other side Of the fire

Miss Holmes Tells What Part Cash
Ter Hopkins Played.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 1S.-Something of
a sensation was created in the Hopkins
trial in the United States court yester-
day, when Miss Josie Holmes, the ex-
change clerk Of the Fidelity National
bank, and Harper's confidential secre-
tary, was called to the witness stand.
She delivered her testimony with no
apparent reluctance and was self-pos-
sessed. clear and business-like in all
her statements. She explained how
the questionable drafts used in the
wheat deal were made, by saying
that Hopkins would bring Herit,
the broker to the desk and tell her to
make out the exchange and he Hop
kins) would give her his check, which
made good. She told one after another
of numerous letters Of credits, drafts
etc., which she wrote or prepared at
her desk but for which nothing was
ever given but Hopkins memorandum
check. Once when Hopkins asked her
in the directors room TO fill out the
credit ticket for Irwin. Green s. Co. for
1885 900, President Swift came in and
MI. Hopkins asked her to go to her
she had frequent conversations with
Hopkins about the wheat deal. He
bought SO, 900 bushels for her. She
supposed it was present for she gave
nothing for it. He used to tell her how
much she was making as wheat went
up. She wanted to sell at ninty-four
cents, but Hopkins advised her to hold
it. Soon after it went down. Being
asked if she had any memorandum of
that purchase, she said: No, I dis
troyed it when the market broke twenty
cents a bushel. She went on to
tell how she wrote kilograms
at Hopkins direction, concerning
the wheat deal, ana in many other
ways connected him with the wheat
transactions. An effort was made by
the defense to show that Harper bought
! Sc. 1000 bushels of wheat that stood in
her name, but she maintained that Mr..
Hopkins told her all that she knew
about it, and that he managed the mat
ter. Her CIPHER letters to Harper
were produced and she identified them.
One Of them was read to the Jury. She
told how Mr.. Hopkins son obtained
those letters. He was the messenger,
and betrayed his trust She never
mentioned his name in speaking of
him, but always referred to him as
i"ME. Hopkins son.

as confidential book-keeper, had
handled money for the purchase of
bones and had credited the bone ped
dlers with many more pounds of bones
than they had supplied, and that he had
poeketed the difference between the
truths and falsity. This explanation
was accepted. 1t never occurred to
anybody to question the correctness of
Mr.. Jarvis statements. It was de-
cided, therefore. to put Mr.. Young in
jail and compel him to make up the
deficit either from his own means or
through his friends. Accordingly
Mr.. Young was locked up
last night. He was not shut
up in the ordinary quarters
at the Jail, but was placed
in room of the sheriff's
residence. There has been expressed
a belief, however, that Mr.. Young is
entirely innocent, and that the real
culprit is another officer of the COM
pany, who has thus far succeeded in
skillfully covering his tracks and is
willing to sacrifice Young.

COUNTY SEAT RIVALS.
Records Captured Under Threats Oi
Burning q Town.

Burning q Town.
EUsTIs, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE county
seat fight which has been raging in
this, Sherman county for more than a
year past eliminated Friday, when a
force of over fifty men armed with
Winchesters and led by Hank Car
penter and Doc Land started for Good
land for the purpose OOf taking the
records away from Eustis, present
county seat, GoOdland constables
having previously arrested the sheriff
and other county officers on trpmped up
charges in order to have the coast clear.
G.. N. Bradley, Eustis man, started
from GoOdland TO warn this town that
the mob was coming, and was fired np-
on several times, but was not hit. The
towns are about a mile and half apart
and the mob arrived almost as soon as
Bradley. They were accompanied by a
number of men armed only with revolt
vers, but who carried prepared turpen-
tine balls.
The records were kept in the second
story of the Sherman county bank, a
brick building, the stairway OF which
was on the outside. In the second sto-
~ of the building opposite the bank
were ten Eustis men with Winchesters
having full command of the street
and stairway. and it was supposed
that no Good1and man would be allo we'd
to go up the stairs, as the courts had
not yet decided on the eligibility of the
election, but their threats of burning
the town intimidated some of the Eus-
tbs leaders, and the mob was allowed
to load the records on farm wagon
and haul them to Goodland without a
shot being fired.
The men with the turpentine balls
had been posted behind the prominent
buildings with instructions to set fire To
them as soon as that was heard.
A move is on foot to secure the re-
turn of the records by legal means
Meanwhile the affairs of the county
