Last week several capias
against John Henry Baisdon,
William Baisdon and John Smith
Baisdon were placed in the hands
of the Sheriff of this County.
The Baisdons had established the
very unenviable name of being
dangerous and desperate men, and
part of the process was placed
in the hands of VIM. Beyins with
instructions to 60 by way of Mar
rowbone to summon guard who
knew the haunts of the Baisdons
and to locate them if he could and
meet the Sheriff, who was accom-
panied by Jailor Buskirk, Deputy
Sheriff Mcdonald and several
guards, at the Mouth of the Trace
Fork of Pigeon. Mr.. Bevins ar
rived on Marrowbone ON Friday
morning and learned that just be-
fore his arrival the Baisdon boys
had made an attack on the house
of James Brewer with Winches-
ter Rifles, and that assisted by
John Lee White, he had repealed
the attack, mortally wounding
John Smith Baisdon. On learn
ing this Mr.. Bevins at once sum-
moned a posse consisting of John
Lee White, Brit Jones, James
Brewer, Riley Brewer, Lee Brew
er and John Brewer and followed
the Baisdons to Pigeon Creek
Locating them at DR.. Harrison
Baisdon's, Bevins left all of the
guard about quarter of a mile
