at a point within a quarter of a mile Of
Fort Anderson firing commenced from be-
hind the great lodges of sandstone on a
spur of the ridge overlooking the valley
where the men were marching, The stars

were joking with each other when the
bullets began whistling about their ears.

they received q volley of bullets in the

miners after capturing four OF Woolferd's
men started on the retreat themselves.
Seeing that Carpenter was going rapidly
in the opposite direction the four soldiers
were released.
Casualties of the Troops.
The men reached Offutt's at 10 a. m. and
after notifying Gen. Carnes that they were
at his service and being informed that he
could manage without them, they went
out among the farmers and got their first
meal for twenty-four hours. A squad
went back TO the battlefield and under a

wounded as follows: Dead-John Z.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 20.-N. b.
Humphrey, a newspaper man, reached
Knoxville yesterday afternoon from Coal
Creek. He was with General Carnes
throughout the movements of yesterday
and gives graphic accounts of the actions
of the main body of the militia. General
Carnes left the train at Clifton at /
O'Clock yesterday morning intending to
reach the village by march, as he feared
train wreckers. After accommodating it
was apparent that the track was in con-
dition TO permit traffic, despite rumors of
dynamite. The engineer was ordered to
proceed cautiously and toward dawn,
when the clouds were still about the
mountain tops, the engine arrived
within short distance of the village of
Coal Creek.
Marched Into Coal Creek.
At O'Clock n. IN. the troops were formed
int battle line and hasty march on the
village began. The soldiers entered with
out shot being fire y. The Chickasaw
guards, the crack company of Memphis,
was the picket line. General Carnes de-
manded the surrender of the village; q
group of men offered no objection, and the
little village was again Il lawful commu-
nifty of the state of Tennessee. Carnes had
previously sent a message to the commit
tee of miners threatening to fire on the
village if Anderson was not released
No Farley With Rioters.
He again sent a message demanding the
unconditional surrender of the colonel
and refused TO confer with the rioters, al
though an attempt was made to parley.
The first reply of the miners was that they
would accede to all the generals demands.
but that they could do nothing unless they
were given time. They were given the
time. Presently the committee appeared
and said they had concluded not to release
Anderson.
Getting the Guns in Line.
Orders were given to mount the Cat
ling gun and bring the 6-inch long range
cannon ready for the action. A detail
was sent through the village to arrest all
the men they could handle. The detail
returned with almost 100 men, many of
whom Were miners or people closely
related to the miners. These prisoners
were to be held as hostages. This sum-
mary action had effect, and at O'Clock
ID. IN. Anderson was delivered to his
troops.
Miners Flee to the Hills.
The miners then put out for the noun

troops in possession. General Carnes has
