a southerly course, the band went into Arkan-
sas and crossed Black river at Pocahontas AT
Memphis the band crossed the Mississippi, pass
ing through the federal lines. Quantrell repre-
sented himself as federal officer on special
scouting duty, and drew rations and supplies
at several union posts through which ne
passed. The band marched from Memphis
into Kentucky without being molested, every
where passing as federal soldiers. One night
Quantrell stopped at a hotel in Kentucky and
after supper saw his men to bed, telling them
not to leave their rooms unless he called for
them. There was barroom in the hotel and
soon after going to bed some OF the men got up
to get drink of whisky In the barroom were
a number of federal officers, with whom
QuantrelPs men, after drinking too freely,
became involved in quarrel. In their intoxi-
cation the guerillas lost all sense of discretion
and revolvers soon took the place OF words III
the controversy, several of the union officers
being shot dead in the melee. This fatal
occurrence unmasked the disguised guerllas,
and Quantrel knew he must find a more
secure hiding place for his band. Hastily
mounting his men the chieftain left the hotel
in the darkness and by hard riding reached
the hills of eastern Kentucky and eiuded the
pursuing enemy. Here getting lost and con-
fused in the strange, wild country, the band
wandered about apparently aimlessly for three
or four weeks, when Captain Terrill came
upon the guerillas by accident and the fight
near Tayorsville ensued, in which Quantren
was mortally wounded.
that Quantrell's band was nearly annihilated
in this fight. Only Quantren was hurt, the
rest of the band making their escape. The
guerilla chief was shot through the bladder,
the wound paralyZng his lower extremties.
Quantrell was taken to a Catholic hospital in
Louisville, where he died short time after
ward.
OPERATED ALONE.
"The statement frequently published that
Quantrell was associated with Sue Mundy
and other noted Kentucky guerillas is false
In his Kentucky raid Quantrell operated alone,
and had no contact with any guerilla leaders
of that state. AS in all of his mysterious
movements Quantrell kept the object of the
kentucky raid a secret. Not one of his men
knew where the strange, restless chieftain was
aiming to go or the end sought in making that
long hazardous march through four states.
'Quantrell was not addicted to drink or
gambling. / never saw him take a drink of
whisky. He was handsome and man of very
gallant bearing towards ladies. He was abso-
lutely fearless in the presence of danger, and
seemed to enjoy the atmosphere of peril for
the mere excitement of the situation. He was
keen, intuitive judge Of character, and knew
man at sight. 1t was this instructive insight
into human nature that enabled the guerilla
chief to select so unerringiy the followers that
suited his purpose. He called out all of the
nerve and daring in a mans nature, and held
his followers up to the highest possible limit of
reckless bravery. He was, in fact, an ideal
leader of such an outlaw band as he gathere
around his rowing standard"

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 10.-A mailman took

an hour toward this city. when suddenly q
nicely dressed old gentleman who had been
quietly sitting in one of the seats arose and be-

interfere he jerted his coat off and flung it out

valise hat and cloak. The old lady was nearly
frightened out OF her wits, and her screams adj

seemed to take different turn and he rushed
frantically up and down the aisle, kicking ands

when the cOnductyr and brakeman rushed in
to the car. Dropping the unconscious form OF
his wife, the mailman turned his attention to
the trainmen, and they engaged in desperate
fight. The Old man seemed to possess almost
superhuman strength, and, notwithstanding
his age and slight figure, he held the trainmen
at bay until the baggagemaster crept up be-
hind him and pinoned his arms. Then he
was handcuffed and bound securely to q seat.
BY this time the car was emptied but
when everything was quiet some of the
ladies came back and assisted in reSuscitating

An affair, in which a shot gun figured, came
off in the western part of Newton county, last
Sunday evening, between two white women.
An aunt shot her neice in the leg making a
serious if not fatal wound. Rumors has it
that the difficulty was caused by spirited de-
bate over the charms of some gay and festive
gent, who must have been paying court to
them both AS to this, however, we know
nothing, and care less, only regretting that the
unfortunate tragedy should have come in our
county at any time, much less on the Sabbath
