A TERRIBLE FATE.
Fears That the sheriffs Posse Has Been
Slaughtered.

Slaughtered.
KNOXVILLE. Aug. 1S-At s o'clock p. NJ.
General Carnes and the West Tennessee
troops had not yet arrived and 1t Is feared
that the little band that left Knoxville this
afternoon will be butchered before help can
reach it. This afternoon a posse was sum-
moned by Sheriff Holloway, armed with
Winchester rifles Itnum bered SIS men, among
them some OF the most prominent busi-
ness and professional men of the city, and
commanded by Major ID. &. Carpenter. The
posse was Joined by the militia under
command Of Colonel Woolford. numbering

left for the scene of the trouble. At Clin-
ton they were met by number of citizens
from Knoxville. Clinton and Coal Creek,
who urged that il was absolute madness to
60 forward without re-enforcements. Over
1000 armed miners, they said, were drawn
up ready 10 fire upon them as they alighted
from the train, and dynamite was every

The courthouse bell again rang the riot
call and the excited people rushed In that
direction. Many men volunteered their
services, but there were no arms.
General Carnes with 400 men had Just
reached Knoxville and went Immediately

NANCY HANKS.
How Her Wonderful Performance Is TieWed
by Robert Bonner.

New YORK, Aug 1S.-Nancy Hanks
wonderful work at Chicago was all that
was talked about by the trotting-horse men
to-day, and the merit OF her performance,
compared with SunoPs 2:OSH over a
kite-shaped track and the record of
Maud over q track at Cleveland.
was discussed wherever group of
horsemen gathered. Parkville trainers are
unanimous in saying that Nancy Hanks
2:07A to bicycle sulky was superior TO
SunoPs 2:0SA over a te-shaped track.
AS both Bonner. SunoPs owner, and
Forbes, the owner of Nancy Hanks, are
possessed of ample wealth, borsemen say
there is no reason why the two great mares
should not meet at Chicago and decide the
question in good. old-fashioned mile heats,
three in FIVE.
The race would tax the limit of the
grounds, as the attendance would be so
large, and as Mr. Bonner will not race for a
purse or matches for money. the gate receipts
could be divided among charitable associa-
tons.
Neither Robert Bonner nor those asso-
eiated with him feel like hiding their heads
or shedding tears over Nancy Hanks
record.
A. A. Bonner, son of Robert says: ::
"Of course it would be idle 10 deny that
Nancy Hanks is a wonderful mare and ha S
accom- piished great performance. Still, l
don't think Maud SIS reputation is in any
way dimmed. either By Sunol or Nancy
Hanks.
Why, It's easily enough explained
Maud SIS record, 208A, was made seven
years ago, when trotting tracks were some
what inferior TO those of the present day.
When, In fact, they were destitute
of all modern improvements which have
worked such material difference in condition
and Time records. Maud : made her record
on an old track and with an ordinary
sulky. SunoPs 2:06H was accomDlish ed
on kIte-shaped track, but Nancy Hanks
although she trots on the ordinary track,
is helped by one of the new bicycle sulk les,
which will make an astonishing difference
In the records. We don't want TO seem to
detract from the value of Nancy Hank S
record, but in my view neither her
record, nor that of Sunol, is, all conditions
considered, any improvement on that of
Maud s. Size is believed 10 be in foal, but
think ID almost certain that father will at
some time IN the near future take shot al
the record with SunOl.
Robert Bonner, the owner Of Maud and
Sunol, the trott:ng mares holding the rec
city. he said. regarding Nancy Hanks record,
RS grand, every lover of trottng must go
look at ii. At the same time / am
not going TO take off my hat so
far as to acknowledge that she is
the fastest trotter in the world. My Sunol
with record Of 2:0S4. has got to have
chance under the same condi tions as this
new record made. behind one OF these new
pneumasic-tired sulkys. Size will have that
opportunity this fall in public exhibiti on
II live. Maud s, unfortunately, cannot.
