KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July -s0.-The
roops from Briceville arrived here at
4 o'clock. They are all in good spirits
and will return in the morning with re-
Inducements. The boys were badly
treated by the people of Knoxville,
who seemed to be in perfect sympathy
with the lawless element in Coal Creek
valley.
At 10 o'clock this morning 1000 min.
ers, farmers and other natives who
have no occupation at all, took posses
sion of the hills around the Briceville
camp. Fifteen hundred of these were
armed with rifles, the rest had shot
guns and pistols. They came from all
the mines in a radius of fifty miles.
The organization was complete and
their leaders placed them along the
hillsides with military precision.
At the call to arms the little garri-
son turned out gallantly and prepared
for defense. 1t was apparent at a
glance that a fight would result in a
massacre. A meeting of the officers
was called. Some declared that a
stout resistance to the first attack
would be sufficient and the mob would
withdraw. Others thought that it
would be suicidal, yet every one was
in favor of doing his duty, notwith-
standing the exposed position they
were to defend. g
The miners called a parley and were
met on neutral ground by Col. Sewer.
They stated that they had sufficient
force to overwhelm the soldiers, but
did not care to shed blood if the con-
victs were quietly turned over TO them.
This request was emphatically re.
fused. The miners then asked Col.
Sewer If he would remove his troops
and take the convicts with him He
asked what would be done to the min
ing company's property. which was also
under his protection They replied that
it would not be injured. He also asked
if an attack would be made on the
Knoxville Iron Co.'S stockade, just be
low Briceville. II such was intended,
he would fall back there and fight II
out regardless of the consequences.
The leaders replied that no attack
would be made.
The troops then marched out o.
camp. carrying with them the convicts
all their commissary supplies and the
baggage. They marched to Briceville
and there took the train to Knoxville.
The promise not to attack the Knox
vile company's stockade has already
been violated, and the $50 convicts al
that place were put on . train and sent
to Knoxville.
The mob then akfSrted for Oliver
Springs, where they also intend liber
