NASHVILLE (Tenn.), Aug. %. - An
american special from Coal Creek gives
an account of miners sharpshooter
appearing in the vicinity of a church to-
day and firing into the edifice while
service was in progress. Captain Roach
of the First Regiment was sent in pur-
suit, but the miner escaped. The ap-
pearance of this scout of the miners i'm
mediately after the return of part of the
militia may have great significance, for
there are well-founded reports that large
numbers of miners are hidden away IN
the mountain Businesses. Reinforcements
are now on the way here, and will arrive
tomorrow. 1t has been decided to transfer
several companies to Clinton, the county
seat, where all trials will take place dur
ing the first week in September. There

MALTREATED BY MINERS
NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-A morning
paper prints the following: Gilbert g.
Rice, the man whose sut1erings at the
hands of the Tennessee miners did $50
much to turn sentiment against them,
passed through here yesterday en- route
to Boston to consult specialist as to the
ailment resulting from his maltreatment
by miners. Rice said the men captured
him while he was investigating land he
was about to purchase, and thinking he
was spy, set about to devise means to
punish him. 1t was decided to tie him
by the neck to one of the freight cars
side-tracked on steep incline with a
lariat one of the miners had.
Rice, in reciting the story, says: "The
decision was quickly carried out, A
moose was drawn around my neck and
the brakes loosened. One of the miners
dropped the moose from my neck to NV
waist. AS the car started the lariat

Reedy, Jr., q years of age, shot and
killed his father with Winchester rifle.
An old feud existed between the father
and son. The latter some time ago bought
his fathers half interest in some orchard
property. On the son refusing to trade
back, the father threatened to kill him.
The young man ordered his father off the
premises, forbidding him again to tres
pass thereon. When the Coroner's Jury
arrived this morning deceased was found
about fifty yards from the house where
he fell, lying face downward, and his
right hand tightly clinched bulldog re-
volver, cooked and having the main
spring broken, which fact probably pre-
vented double tragedy. The son claims
self-defense, but the jury failed to exoner-
ate him. The hearing is set for Tuesday.
