6iaS il Barn.

LOUlSVHLE. KY. April lS.-A special
20 the Times from Harlan Court House

about thirty outlaws. who were fortified
ina an old barn. Five OF the soldiers
were wounded. II is not known how

they still have possession of the barn.
Corporal BlautOn was sent after rein
forccmeutS, and knows but little, as he
left Immediately after the firing began.
The troops have the barn surrounded
and it will be- impossible for those on
the inside 90 make their escape, and the
only two roads which lead from the place
are cut of by picketS who are instructed
90 allow no one 10 pass toward town, as il
was thought best TO keep the news OF
the conflict from the people about here
until after the reintorccment> had

otTenSoS. were fortified against the law
at the above mentioned locality, and
had refused 10 surrender 10 the civil
authorities. He was asked for a detail
of his men TO 20 out with some of the
civil officers for the purpose of arrest
ing them. and he at once sent sixteen
privates In charge OF Lieut.. Milton, Ser
Ccant Pullian and Corporal Blanton.
Thcy camped about $3.50 yesterday after
noon. expecting 90 find the men they
were pursuing In private house. about
GOO yards beyond the barn from which
they were fired upon. The attack was
not looked for az that point and came
So suddenly that IL demoralized the sol
dicrS for moment or two, but they
soon rallied. surrounded the barn and
began firing into it from every direc-
tion. when 10 was thought best 10 cease
action and hold the fort until the re-
Inducements arrived with more ammu-
milton.
THE NEWS MEAGRE.

take place as soon as the additional
troops reach the place. IL is impossible

l5:10 p. m.) and will not be able To get
further particulars before late tonight.
