Neck to Turn States Evidence.
KNOXVILLE, TENN, Aug pa sensational
episode occurred last night at Coal Greek. The
leader Of the most daring. most lawless and
most troublesome body of miners was Bud
Lindsay. To his Vaccinations is attributed
much Of the turbulence in the Creek. He has
made himself SO obnoxious to the more con-
servative miners and to citizens not in sympa-
thy with the rioting that he has been marked
figure and only his keeping within safe distance
of the military since his capture and generally
between four walls has prevented his being
killed. For several nights he was confined in
an old mine and the mouth guarded by largo
squad Of soldiers. Affairs during the day have
been quiet, the submission of the miners
general, that watch was somewhat relaxed and
Lindsay had lost some Of his fear and
wandered more freely within the inclo-
sure. Last night, in some way that no
one seems to understand. four citizens
managed to seize and silence him and in the
dusk clipped him between the pickets. He was
hurried up the valley toward Briceville and the
mob, which gained force almost at every step,
hurried him forward, fearing alarm and pursuit
by soldiers. The journey was not ended until
Briceville, the scene Of the labor troubles last
year and the home Of the more conservative
class Of miners. was reached. Once there o
rope was secured and placed around his neck.
His true character was soon seen Though con-
sidered desperate man and although he has at
least Q dozen murders to his account he broke
down and begged for his life with all possible
fervor. His pleadings and lamentations we're
effective. He was promised LIE upon the SOL
emn promise that TODAY he will turn states evil

leaders, tell how the mob WAC raised. the nature
Of the oath. the names of the miners known to
have killed soldiers guards. in short to reveal
to the civil authorities all of the lawlessness
that has reigned and this he has agreed to tes-
tify to in court. When all this promised

MORE MEN WOUNDED.
There are several more men wounded than
have been reported. A young militiaman by
the name of Michaels shot last week. He
had one wound from a 50-caliber needle gun.
This hit him from the rear and passed entirely
through the hip, coming out in the lower part
Of the groin Almost at the same time he was
struck by another sharpshooter's ball from the
front. The wounded man is well attended by
company physicians and will recover. When
seen by correspondent today he asked the
latter 10 tell the country that Fort Anderson
would not have been taken until every man de-
Tending il was dead.
Col Anderson is in fun possession of his
position. He is about mile from Gen. Carnes
forces, but communication between them is
perfect. The troops gritty, but they are
physically exhausted.
Capt. Morton is on the field with Gen.
Carnes. He told a correspondent yesterday
more troops should be sent to the front. Camp
Anderson is exhausted by its constant fights.
There is a terrible feeling here because Of the
slaughter of Knoxville citizens. If more fight
ing occurs Knoxville will send MANY men for
ward who will go under the black flag. Capt.
Morton's four-inch rifles arrived here last night
with ammunition and tents. They go to Coal
Greek this morning.
