Miners Repulsed in the Fight at Coal
Creek, Tenn.
COAL CREEK, Tenn, Aug. 20. = The
battle Of Coal Creek is at an end and the
soldiers are victorious for once In the
mining trouble. When Major Carpenter
turned into the mountains at Offut with
his 125 men, the night was perfectly dark.
Although the major was familiar with
every by-path, 1t was found difficult to
keep the direction and progress was
slow.
After while four men appeared and
offered to guide the party. Major Car.
penter reluctantly accepted the ofer and
the march was again taken up and at Q
better rate OF speed. Between hve and
six O'Clock q. m, while unconscious OF
danger, the men were fired upon from
behind. The miners lay behind stone
ledge and their broadside moved down

sary, they fighting all the way. The VOL
unteers fell back to Clinton, six miles,
reaching there at noon. In the mean
time, Gen. Carnes had established him
self at Offut to await daylight. With
Coal Creek was begun.
The miners fred over their heads from
the mountains so that the bullets could
be heard whistling by the soldiers. The
soldiers returned the fire. AT noon Gen.
Carncs captured band OF miners. They
were released on promise to deliver up
Gen. Anderson, who was lured from the
fort on the day before. At the appointed
hour nothing was to be seen OF either
General Anderson or the miners.
Then Gen. Carnes entered Coal Creek.
There he found that a desultory fight had
been going on between the troops and
the miners at Fort Anderson all day. The
miners surrendered at 4.30 p. m, General
Anderson was restored TO his command
and peace was declared.
There were two men shot by miners at
the camp yesterday and another wound
ed. Reports came in that the surround
ing hills were bristling with miners.
There was an engagement In the north
eastern part of the town in the afternoon
by Col. Sewer in command OF the Chick
asaw guards and about 80 Yellow Creek
miners, whom they encountered on the
hills while out looking for Gen. Ander-
son. The miners were routed and several
wounded. Two of the Chickasaw guards
were also wounded.

a. f. Tedro, the bunco sharp. who sue

receive his sentence. Judge Cravens re-
marked that Tedro's crime was con-
temptible one, as was the business of all
his class, who made their living by ming
ling with strangers, and always in search
OF some innocent-looking creature whom
they might easily fleece. Tedro was
thereupon sentenced to pay fine of $50.
Frank Robertson, a newcomer, slapped
tailor in the face last week for meddling

him $40 therefor.
Tom Gotta could not prove that he did

OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.
A Glimpse at Some of It's Humorous
Features


Features.
Yesterdays session of the Police Com
mission was unmarked by sensational
features. Mayor Comstock said he under
stood that officers were in the habit of
not reporting for duty, and he wanted to
see what the clerks book showed.
The book was procured, and the fact
developed that Officers Mclaughlin, Hig-
gins, Frazee, simmons and Gibson had
not strictly obeyed the rules. 1t was,
however, claimed on behalf of the officers
that they sometimes 60 on and off duty
without reporting.
This, however, did not satisfy Commits
sioner Cravens, who moved that all Off
GERS be required to report promptly when
going on and off duty, and falling to do
so, that they give their reasons, and the
Chief of Police must file a report before
the board on the matter at each meeting.
The motion was carried.
The riding of bicycles within the pro-
scribed limit, and the shooting of wild
ducks in town, which latter sport is
practlced south of K street, were both de-
clded to be wrong, and the attention of
the police was called to the matter.
The Mayor expressed the wish that the
police might be induced to walk the
streets singly, instead of by pairs, as they
are generally seen. lie thought they
should also assume more soldierly bear
ing and keep out of politics.
At Judge Cravens' suggestion the at
tention of the officers was ordered called
to rule 80 of the regulations, which covers
the point made by the Mayor. But the po-
lice only smile at such suggestions by the
Commissioners. They are i'll politics now
up to their necks, for the lst of April is
near at hand.
The commission adjourned after the
Mayor had "called attention" to a dead
dog up on NJ street, which the policemen
had not seen, and to the fact that the
whole force attended the recent conven-
tions without permission.
Now the reader is at liberty to laugh.

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
Governor Markham Explains Why lie
Exercised 1t
IN the Cases of William II. Brooks and
Robert Ferguson-The Latter
to Leave the State.

Governor Markham granted two COM
mutations of sentence yesterday before
leaving for his vacation in the wilds of
Kern County.
William III. Brooks was one Of the for
tunate convicts. He was convicted of
grand larceny in San Francisco in De-
cember, 1890, and sentenced to three
years Imprisonment. The Governor
cOmmutes Brooks sentence to thirteen
and one-half months, which is equivalent
to pardon.
The Governor says that Brooks is
young man, scarcely of age, who had no
criminal record prior to this conviction,
and whose conduct since his incarcera-
ton has been exemplary. The commuta-
ton is recommended by the District At
torney of San Francisco, Hon. w. S.
Barnes, and by his deputy, Hon. j. l..
Love, who prosecuted the case.
The latter official says the sentence was
very severe, as 1t was quite doubtful if
the crime committed was more that petit
larceny. He says he was astonished at
the sentence, and expected it to be but six
months. he further says he is satisfied
the boy viii become a good and useful
citizen If released now. Many other citi-
zenS are anxious to see the boy released, T.,
believing that there is reason to expect
him to make good citizen, and fearing
that he will not be SO apt to do so if left
to serve his full term.
ROBERT FERGUSON
Is the other fortunate person. He was
! convicted of grand larceny in San Fran
cisco, in September, 1890, and sentenced
to five years imprisonment His sentence
IS commuted to sixteen and two-thirds
months. The Governor states that Ser

board of British vessel at the time the

| complained Of was on board that vessel

! 1t is evident to me, from information re-

be commuted, and also undertakes to see
that Ferguson Immediately ships in a

He Does Not Wish to be Understood
as Advising Extravaganza.
District Attorney Ryan takes exception
to the statement that he ''ruled that
Auditor Johnson was over-zealous in his
protection of the county finances, and
that the Supervisors were guardians
of the funds, and if they busted the
county treasury it was their own look
out-not Mr.. Johnson's.''
Mr.. Ryan explains that the question
submitted to him by the board was
whether or not the board had authority
to transfer money from the general fund
to the general road fund to pay for a
bridge lately completed. He ruled that
the board had such authority, and ad-
vised the board that, under the provisions
of Section 20 of the County Government
Act, it had authority to transfer money
from one fund to another whenever in it's
Judgment the business of the county so
required.
lie does not want to be understood as
encouraging extravaganza in the board or
saying that the Auditor was over-zeaIous
in his protection of the county finances
and that he had no control over the same.
But he advised that whenever demands
were allowed which were clearly author
lied by law the Auditor should not refuse
! to draw his warrant for their payment.

County Assessors Who Complain of a
Lack of Deputies.
The State Board of Equalization met
yesterday. There were present Messrs.
Morehouse, Colgan, Beamer, Hebron
and Swan.
After a general discussion of matters of
minor Importance, communications from
the Assessors of Ventura and Monterey
Counties were read complaining that the
Boards of Supervisors in their respective
counties would not allow them enough
assistants to properly levy the assess
ments for 1892, and asking the State
Board to assist them in the matter.
After a short discussion the board
agreed that the proper thing to do first
would be to communicate with the Super
visors and learn what reasons they had
for refusing to allow the Assessors the
extra deputies they asked for. The
members of the board thought the Super
visors might have some very good rea-
sons. They might think, probably, that
the Assessors were, in some cases, getting
