The negroes had come down from the
Hill mine with the avowed purpose of
creating a disturbance.
Tho news Of the fracas spread like
wildhre, and in a short time DO men
were securing the mountains near by

hunting them down.
In fow hours all OF the colored men
were brought here and placed in Jail,
aftor desperate struggle for their lives,
and after receiving several wounds.
The prisoners were Charles Miller, q
notorious character from Bedford Coun-
ty, shot three times before being
cuptuerd; William Martin from Madi-
son County, shot twice; Bob Burton,
shot in the leg in the first fight and a
boy
Great excitement prevailed all the
afternoon, and there was talk of lynch
ing Miller, who was the ringleader, and
who is supposed to have shot Bowling
The excitement grew as evening came
on and by dark the streets were full Of
men crying for revenge.
About II p. m. a mob Of 300 sur
| rounded the jail.
The Mayor and town officers urged the
men to let the law take its course, point

| bad name a lynching would give the
place, but the mob would not listen and
made an attack on the prison, a frail

Once in possession of the prisoners the
mob released the boy and attempted to
secure from the other three a confession,
but the men stoutly denied having com
