At o'clock this morning Gen. Ander-
son was taken from the hotel where he
was guarded and spirited away. 1t Is
supposed he has been lynched.
Three thousand miners attacked Coal
Creek thrice to day, and when they drew
off for the night more than fifty had been
killed and a still greater number wounded.
IL is believed the death list is a great
deal larger. The miners charged at p.

deadly fire, and had released them when
recaptured the convicts and drove the
miners heller skelter down the hill.
Gen. Anderson had mountain howitZer

the $50 men speech and told them to die
fighting, for the miners would massacre
them IL they were captured.
From front and rear and on both his
fanks men rushed up the hill, armed
with all sorts OF weapons. The soldiers
stood in the fort and watched the huge,
unorganized army press on. Nearer they
came, and the foremost began TO shoot at

The miners mounted the walls of the
stockade, which is some distance from the
fort and lower down, like squirrels. They
captured the convicts. ordered them To
get ready to march out, and had reached
the portals when Anderson drew his men
over TO that side of the pit aud ordered
them to fire and keep il up. Both cannon
were trained on the miners, and again
the soldiers hurled death into their ranks.
The miners became demoraliZed. Men
were falling on all sides like leaves. They

wounded, reached the bottom of the hill.
Three thousand men had been repulsed
by $50, and not a single soldier had been
hurt. The convicts were recaptured and
placed in the stockades.
The miners got away from the fort and
held huge mass meeting. All were in
furiated, but they were confused. They
resolved on another attack, and two hours
later made IL. They got half way up the
hill when the soldiers again raiHed bull
