The desperadoes who committed the

secured the contents which, it is assert
ed by an official who knows, We're GER
tainly between $50, 900 and $4,000.

ney, chief of detectives Of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas road, L. A. Flora, q
member of the Indian police, and two
doctors, passengers on the train and
residents of Adair, were wounded.
None of them are likely to die from the
wounds received.
The men kept up lively firing for the
purpose of intimidating the passengers
on the train and with excellent effect
not soul appearing. AS a matter Of

or lying in the car aisles The two mer

Oliver Springs Captured.

The victory Of the guards at OnveI
Springs over the free miners, as detalleo
above. was followed the same night oy
second attack upon the stockade, Win
different results Eight hundred miners
assembled at Oliver Springs at night com
pellet the soldiers and guards at the PRISON
stocsade to surrender, captured the stock-
ade, burned it, and forced the troops 10
con,iuct the convicts to Clinton for trans
portation to Nashville, via Knoxville.
1t was the general impression among
paopie distant from tbs scene that terrible
fght would take place. because the guards
at Oliver Springs had repuIsed several hr a.
drad men in the early morning. howeVT,
the opposing forces were SO large tnat' o1

Free Miners Repulsed.

The excitement among the free miners in
Anderson County, Tenn. which was 1nten'
sified by the Developments first at Tracy
City and then at Inman, resulted in the
holding OF secret meetings at which the de
cision was reached that bold effort should
be made to release the convicts as the Oliver
Spring mines. These mines are four
or flve miles Instant from the Coal Creek
mines, where the soldiers havs for months
been guarding the two hu:ired cow cts
employed in digging coal there. The miners
intended to destroy the stocKade and other
buildings by fire after they had set the con-
victs free, and thus for the second time In
year strike strong blow at convict labor.
Aiming themselves with guns and rifles,
they made the attack at 3 o'clock in the morn-
ing. The guards some twenty-five in nuai"
ber, were game, and volley after volley was
exchanged, the result being the wound
ing Of several men, three OF them
being guards and the others miners.
One man, guard, received mortal
wound. During the firing the convicts were
considerably excited, but the officials Kept
a close watch upon them, and after the de-
parture of the miners quiet was restored.
Governor Buchanan was notified, and
troops were forwarded to Oliver Springs
from Chattanooga and Knoxville on special
trains. The troops reached the stockade at
Oliver Springs by night, and immediately
went into camp.
During the afternoon bani OF loo
miners, armed with Winchesters took
possession OF train on the Knoxville
and Ohio Road, at Coal Creek, bound
for Clinton, where they hoped to be able
to intercept the reinforcements; hut they
