CARNES IS GREAT.

Dignity,

A Handful of Picked Men. Capture Half

Monroe case yesterday, had quite al
effect upon the other prisoners.
They had been so used to sham pro-
ceedings that they thought it was on
ly a legal farce they were to go
through. But when they heard the
Justice remand the prisoner to Jail
without bond, their defiant feathers
fell, and they began to play for time
and sue for terms. They were All
anxious tn waive examination and
make bond for ther appearance at the
next term of the Circuit Court. The
following gave bOnd and were re-
leased: Bud Lindsay, 5000; George
Irish and Robert SIN 18th, $4,000 each,

81 900 bond each. Other bonds are
being prepared and many more pris-
nners will be released tomorrow.
The release Of Bud Lindsay created
indignation among the troops.
Not y day now passes over Coal
Creek without its sensation, and to-
day furnished its share in q bold day
light attempt to lynch Bud Lindsay.
When it became known through
camp that Lindsay had been released
on So 900 bond, little groups of troops
and citizens could be seen standing
ut different points around the depot
and temporary courtroom, discussing
the matter in no pleasant mood and
Lindsay and his friends had gathered
in the yard of q .neigh6Oring house,
evidently fearing the worst and walt
ing for an oppOrtunitytO escape from
the town. -- 49, 'r
At ANN. the accommodation train
for Knoxville pulled out from the
depot and q shout went up that
Lindsay was on board and escaping.
A rush was made by handful OF
soldiers, closely backed up 10y the
citizens, and Lindsay was brought
down from the train, which rolled on
out, bearing his brother, Bart Lind
say, of Knoxville, and other 1rlends.
He was hustled on down the road
toward Coal Creek, and the ashy
pallor OF his face and unsteady step
