LINDSAY NOT LYNCHED.
HE TURNED INFoRMER TO SAVE
HIS LIFE.


KNOXVILLE, TENN, Aug. 29.-There are
several more men wounded than have been
reported. A young militiaman named
Michaels was shot last week. He had one
wound from 50-caliber needle gun in the
rear, which passed entirely through the
hip, coming out in the lower part OF the
groin. At almost the same time he was
struck by another sharpshooter's ball from
the front. The wounded man is we'll at
tended by the company physicians and will
recover. He asked the Associated
Press correspondent TO tell the
country that Fort Anderson would
not have been taken until every man de-
Tending it was dead. Col. Anderson is in
mile from Gen. Carnes' forces. but
communication between them is per-
feet. The troops are gritty, but
physically exhausted. Capt. Morton is on
the field with Gen. Carnes. He told an As
ISOLATED Press correspondent yesterd ay
morning that new troops should be sent to
the front. Camp Anderson is exhausted by
it's fights. There Is terrible feeling here
because Of the slaughter of Knoxville citi-
zens. II more fighting occurs Knoxville
will send many men forward who will go
under black flag. Capt. Morton's finch
rifles arrived here last night with ammuni-
ton and tents. They will 60 TO Coal Greek
this morning.
LINDSAY NOT LYNCHHD.
COAL CREEK, TENN, Aug. 22.-The re-
port that Bud Lindsay, leader OF the riotous
miners, was lynched last night is incorrect.
The facts in the case are as follows: About
10 o'clock last night a party of citizens
through strategy secured Lindsay, who has
been a prisoner here for the past two days,
from his guards and conducted him up the
valley toward Briceville, a few miles
south, with the intention of lynch
ing him. The story that he had been
lynched was then circulated. They
were fully determined, and would
undoubtedly have carried cut their plans
but for the pitiable pleadings of Lindsay
troops and point out every man In the
mountains who was implicated in the late
miners trouble. His life was spared on
this condition. Lindsay later in the night
was brought back to Coal Creek aud will
be used to identify the outlaws who have
been prominent in the recent troubles.
MORE PRISONERS BROUGHT IN.
Twenty-Five or thirty new prisoners were
brought in this morning. Habeas corpus
proceedings have been instituted to release
a number OF the prisoners and Gen. Carnes
men and have them indicted under the
civil court. Labor Commissioner Ford
is still under arrest and posi-
tive evidence has been obtained
that he not only aided and ebetted the
miners before the trouble, but it is strongly
suspected that he had been acting as a spy
up to the time of his arrest. Preparations
are being made for scouting parties to go
out and smoke out the abandoned mines in
order to run out the miners who are sus-
pected Of being in hiding In them.
EXCITEMENT DYING OUT.
COAL CREEK, TENN Aug. 90, 10P. M
To-day's programme has differed very little
from that of yesterday. All the excite
ment seems to have suddenly suosided and
the opinion is becoming pretty general that
there will be no further trouble, although
rumors can be heard on all sides which,
when traced up, turn out to be false. The
names of men killed so far are: John H.
Neill, George Miller, and Jake Whitson.
Battery A was reinforced to-day by two
3inoh rifles and supply Of ammunition,
which arrived this afternoon. The battery
now consists of three 3-inch cannon, two
gatling guns aud a mountain howitzer.
Attorney General Pickle arrived this
afternoon. Scouting parties have been out
as usual all day long and the number OF
prisoners has been increased by several new
captures, but they report nothing startling
as having happened and as having seen no
evidence of a warlike nature. A great many
arrests are made of persons without pass
ports who are brought in, examined and
after giving satisfactory account Of them
selves are set ct liberty.

convicts from the main prison. The
result of the conference was not
given out. The lessees' ans wer to the order
of the board will be presented tomorrow.

to warrant the statement that the prisoners
will be returned to the mines and the state
will protect them.

and these officers told the sheriff to produce
the prisoners aud then they would
consider the amount of bond they will re-

General Brown to leave nothing undone to
bring to trial all who participated in the
riots, to employ the best counsel to assist
