Shot Down From Ambush

Harlan CorRr HousE, KY. April IS.-A
deadly fight occurred this morning at 20
O'Clock, Il Iaiies east Of here, up in the
Black mountains. between detail OF the
State troops. consisting Of 10 privatss, Lieu
tenant Milton and Sergeant Pullian, and
about 30 outlaws who were fortified in an
old barn.
Five Of the soldiers were wounded. 1t is
not known how many of the outlaws were
killed, as they still have possession of the
barn. Corporal Blanton was sent after rein
forcements and knows but little about the
affair, as be left Immediately after the firing
began.
A body Of lawless men, all indicted for
various offences, having fortified themselves
in a barn. and refused to surrender to civil
authorities, military aid was invoked AS
the soldiers put in an appearance they were
fired upon unexpectedly. They Immediately
surrounded the barn and fired into il from
every direction 1t was thought wiser. how
ever, 10 cease action and hold the fort until
reinforcements arrived.
Piekets are guarding the two only ap-
proaches TO the town. The outlaws are well
armed with Winchesters and swear they
will not surrender. The militiamen are as
determined TO capture them and avenge
their comrades, so a severe igh is expected.
A telegram from Louisville ssys that Ad-
iuiant General HILL at Frankfort received a
telegram confirming the report Of fight in
Harlan on April l6. in which five soldiers
were wounded. General Hill says that Cap
tain Gather, who is in command, wrote
him last wet k that posse was being organ
/ lied to arrest wills Howard one Of the gang
ont in the Black mountains, and that he
had promised ~ soldiers as part Of the posse.
Ii is possible that the fight was between the
posse and Howard's gang. or it may have
been an attempt on the part of the friends of
a man named Will Jennings TO rescue him.
Jennings was held for delivery to the Mis-
souri authorities, who wanted him at the
time of his arrest by the Kentucky officers
last fall.
