NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 15-Saturday the
free miners burned the convict stockade at
Tracy City, then marched to the mines,
ordered the convicts brought out and took
charge of them and the guards loaded them
in box cars and ordered the train to leave
Immediately. Being covered by guns the
men in charge were obliged to obey.
Governor Buchanan states that the con.
victs will be kept in the main prison till

The free miners are well supplied with
arms and ammunition and 1t will be dill

Buchanan attempt to send the convicts
back.
No arrests have been made. Governor
Buchanan has had conferences with State

and the convcts, but nothing is known as
what will be done. The Governor says he
will go to the limit of the law in the matter.
