of the companies of Knoxville volunteers
in the Coal Creek war, met at the postofhce
about noon and started TO discuss the sltua-
ton Goodman roundly abused the citi-
zens who had gone to the front and this
incensed Ledgerwood, who retaliated IN
kind. Ledgerwood, seeing Goodman
was in turn struck with stick.
A fight followed. in which both men fought
desperately: but neither was dangerously
hurt. and were separated. The news of
the fight spread rapidly, and before Good
man had reached Gay street several of the
knoxville volunteers were madly chasing
him. They thought Goodman was going
back TO his boarding house TO report 10 some
miners who were stopping there. James
Harris was at the head of the crowd with a
gun. They caught Goodman at the corner of
Gay and Vine streets and soon bad him es-
corted by policemen TO the City Hall,
where he was locked up. The riot alarm
