Description of the Scene of Battle.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. ia private
message from Clinton TO the agent of the
United Press last night said: "a courier
has just arrived here (9:15) from Coal
Creek. He says that fighting has been
going on all afternoon. Four soldiers
were killed and the gatling gun is out of
order. The Knoxville volunteers and
soldiers who left there by special train will
never reach Coal Creek as the track is
loaded with dynamite"
Volunteers to the Rescue.
Thousands of people were gathered at
the station last night awaiting the arri-
val of General Carnes' troops from Chat
tanooga. 1t was suggested that force of
volunteers be raised to go to the possible
relief of the citizens who started to Coal
Creek in the afternoon. The suggestion
was taken up and riot alarm was rung
for half An hour. Three hundred good
citizens gathered at the court house and
guaranteed their services to Sheriff Hollo-
way. The United States government has
500 army muskets stored here, and per-
mission to use them was asked of the
proper authorities. If a favorable answer
is received the volunteers will leave by a
special train at the earliest opportunity.
Would Settle the Strike.
The Knoxville Iron company, lessees of
branch penitentiary at Coal Creek, has
given the governor twenty days notice
that they will give up the lease and turn
the convicts over to the state authorities.
This decision, if laid before the miners,
would probably put an end to the whole
trouble.
Carnes in Striking Distance.
Gen. Carnes has gone into camp at
Ofrut's, miles from Coal Creek He
would, it is stated, 20 to the relief of Fort
Anderson at day break. There had been no
fighting since dark Two hundred more
volunteers left here for Coal Creek at 4
O'Clock this morning. Carnes has blood
in his eye and there will be a bloody battle
or a complete surrender of insurrectionists
Immediately upon his arrival. Capt.
Anderson, who is in captivity, is bosom
friend and his first act will be to liberate
him.
LATER.-Gen. Carnes has not gone into
camp. He marched directly on Coal
Creek. BY six O'Clock this morning the
village of Coal Creek was surrounded by
a force of eleven or twelve hundred SOL
diers and deputy sheriffs, all heavily
armed and prepared to fight.

RepuISed.


KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug 19.-Gatling
guns wers turned upon the miners at Coal
Creek yesterday. How mank were killed
and wouneed no one yet knows. The only
fact which none can dispute is that the
fiercest battle in the history of the Coal
Greek troubles began yesterday morn ing
and lasted all day. 1t is stated that Cap
tain Keller Anderson, in command of the
Coal Creek troops, has been captured by
the miners, taken to an unknown place
and lynched.
Shooting at 10 O'Clock.
The latest reports which are reliable saw
that the battle at Camp Anderson was
commenced as early as 10 o'clock yester-
day morning. For several hours firing
was not general. About 2 o'clock the
miners made an organized assault on the
fort and were successfully repulsed. The
second assault WAS easily repulsed. The
third attempt resulted in regular
pitched battle and Gatling guns got in
their work.
Capture of Capt. Anderson.
Between the first and second assault on
the fort three miners were captured. They
sent up flag of truce to Captain Ander-
son to ask for release. He was expecting
such a message, and met the men on equal

taken to one of the hotels in the village
where he guarded by Robert Lindsay,
a deputy United States marshal, and a
number of friends. They held him as a
hostage. and would not agree to give him
up until the troops and convicts are with
drawn from the valley. 1t is from here he
is said to have been taken and lynched.
Miners Version of the Matter
The miners say that Captain Anderson
was drunk and came outside of the forsi-
fications in drunken manner and the
boys picked him up without trouble He
has SO far made no statement His force
of 130 men is still holding the fort. The
men have been on short rations for three
days. Every avenue of supply has been

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 19.-Fort An
derson, the scene of the battle at Coal
Creek, occupies the crest of hill com
manding the range of Coal Greek valley
for five miles east and west. To the north
IS a spur of the valley il which the stock
ade of the Knoxville Iron company is To-

PEELED to take 1t before they could reach


the stockade.
Topography of Walden Ridge.
To the southwark from the fort stretches
Walden ridge, which is very steep on the
northern side and easy of ascent from the
south. The top for several miles is q
series of great lodges of sandstone, making
a natural and almost invincible fortress
TIE distance from Fort Anderson across
the valley to the top of Walden ridge Is
about l, 400 yards. On top of the ridge
the miners had planted two field pieces
furnished them by sympathizers in Ken
lucky.
Good Cover for the AssaiIants.
The north sides of the ridge and creek
skirting the foot of Fort Anderson hill is
dense growth of helnlock and laurel.
The assailants of the fort had all the
advantages of hiding, and if one of their
number should be either killed or wound
ed he could be hastily removed to place
safety without any one being the wiser.
No one was allowed to approach within a
half mile of the fort, unless he was known
to be in sympathy with the miners.

WAR SCENES AT KNOXVILLE.

Departure of Force of Volunteers for
the Scene of Disturbance.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 19.-Old citi-
Zens were reminded of war times when
two companies of soldiers started down
the principal street toward the Knoxville
and Ohio railroad yards at 3:45 p. m. yes
terday, followed by $50 0citizens armed with
Winchester rifles and double -barrelled
shot guns. They marched double-quick,
and from the crowds on the sidewalks
there arose cheer upon cheer.
The Gathering of the Clans.
Sheriff Hollaway and half dozen
deputies were busy all the whole forenoon
notifying citizens that they would be ex-
pected to go to Coal Greek in the event of
actual hostilities in that direction. Many
of the wealthiest and most substantial
citizens, weary of the reign of lawlessness
and anarchy, volunteered. 1t was un-
derstood that if their services were need
ed the riot alarm would be sounded from
the court house tower.
The Summons to Arms.
The alarm was sounded about 8 o'clock
on receipt of news of fighting at Coal
Creek, and in fifteen minutes nearly 200
men had assembled in the court house.
where all the arms obtainable were dis
tributed. The citizens divided into two
companies-one under command of Major
d. A. Carpenter, brave soldier in the
federal army and pension agent here under
Cleveland, the other commanded b. Cap
tain w. l.. Ledgerwood, a well known ex
Confederate and Democratic politician.
johnny Goes Riding Away.
The line of march from the court house
to the railway yards, where a train of four
coaches stood waiting, covered more than
a mile. Before the train started thousands
of people had gathered in the neighbor-
hood. AS the train pulled out cheer after
cheer rent the air. and as it was lost to
sight in the labyrynths of freight cars the
cheering huzzas of the departing volun
teers were taken up and re-echoed by
thousands of voices.

Deputy Sheriff Ezra Hamilton yesterday
morning arrested George E. Wallace. who
has been wanted In this county for forgery
since June, 1891. Wallace was a real est ate
shark, with curb-stone Office on Della
ware street. who operated for q short
time in this city. and succeeded in tangling
titles TO several pieces of real estate and
causing not n few suits to quiet title on ac-
count of his shady transactions.
On the 18th day of March, 1891 he was
indicted by the grand jury for forgery, the
indictment charging him with havin 2
forged the name of Peter ID. Cort to q
note for 81 800 in favor of James A. Phillips,
and also with having forged an Endorsement
on the note by Phillips. The note was sold
to Samuel Miles and Wallace immediately
left :or part. unknown. Since leaving this
city he has travelled extensively and sue
ccedIng In getting himself into . tangle in
other places.
The sheriff received an intimation that
wallace had appeared at Oaklandon. four
teen miles north of this city, and was try
ing to dispose of certain property there be-
longing TO his fathers estate. and in which
he had an interest. Deputy Sheriff Hamil-
ton, armed with capias for his arrest
went TO Oaklandon early yesterday morn
ing and arrested Wallace. just as he was
arising from bed. at the house of Charles
Reynolds. where he had been staying. He
was brought to this city. and. in default of
bond In the sum of $1,000. went to jail.

HERE is COLD ASSURANCE.


The bold thief who, a few weeks ago,
tried' to kill Charles Wonnell when the
latter refused to quietly submit to seeing
his house robbed. returned to Wonnelps
house about o'clock yesterday mornin q
and. knocking at Mr.. WonnelPs window
nntii he was aroused. made a proposition
TO sell the watch secured upon the night of
the burglary. Wonnell replied that he
couldn't buy the watch then If he wanted
TO. as he had no money In the house and
added that he did not care 70 bny the watch
back. "Well.n replied the man outside the
window. you will surely give something
Tor it. Will you give me $40 for itg" Won
neil asked how he knew it was the stolen
watch, aud was told that a brother knight
In W0nnelps lodge. Il. of H., had told him
that IL was. and that it had the proper
Initials engraved upon il. The man said
De had bought the watch, but refused 10
give his name. saying when asked, "Oh,
you wouldn't know me if / told you my
name.p Wonnell finally told the man that
IL he would leave the w atch at Frank Hos
brooks grocery he EWonnelD would leave
sl0 az the same place.
The man departed but the watch was
not left at the grocery. Mr.. Wonnell
thinks he recognized the voice of his last
visitcr as that of the burglar. and believes
that the prop ositIon to sell the watch was
bnt o russ to induce him 10 open the door,
when he wonld be overpowered and COM
pelied TO submit 20 another robbery. Won
nell was until recently treasurer of build
ing association. and sometimes had large
sums of money in the honse. and he thinks
the thieves knew this and expected TO get
some of the money.
The night before the last visit to Won
nelPs, thieves attempted 10 obtain an en-
trance to the residence of Patrick Donnery,
No. l22 Hosbrook street, but were fright
ened away by Mr. Spitzfadden. residing
