men who were wounded, and 125 volun-
teers who went to the front Thursday
night, rolled into the station. Three thou

at any time since the trouble began. From
the men on this train the first authentic
account of the fighting at Coal Creek
was obtained.
The First Men on the Ground.
The volunteers and 100 soldiers of the
Second regiment reached Offutt's, a small
village four miles this side of Coal Creek,
about II o'clock Thursday night. After
thoroughly discussing the situation and
comforting by wire with rigadier-General
Carnes it was decided to go at once to the
relief of Fort Anderson. Major ID. A. Car
penter, who soldiered in that vicinity DUR
ing the war and is thoroughly acquainted
with the topography of the country, took
command of the men.
Very Unpleasant March.
They left Offutt's aboat o'clock and
went across Walden's ridge by circuit
Gus route, so as to reach Fort Anderson
from the point farthest removed from the
village of Coal Creek. The night was
dark as pitch, and the loneliness of the
road was depressing. The sides of Wal

huge boulders and lodges of sand stone.

afterward three men, all uniformed and
claiming to be friendly to soldiers, APP

down the mountain. Without suspicion
the troops followed them into a well
planned ambuscade.

How to Remove Paint Stains.

When the stains are dry they should
be softened with butter and lard, and
are then easily removed by turpentine
and soap. Benzine, alcohol or turpen-
tine will readily remove fresh paint
stains, and chloroform will remove stains
after everything else fails. Common
turpentine often leaves stain of its own
on silk. This can be taken out by alcohol
applied with a sponge.

Humphrey, newspaper man, reached
Knoxville yesterday AFTERNOON from Coal

throughout the movements of yesterday
and gives graphic accounts of the actions
of the main body of the militia. General
Carnes left the train at Clifton at /
o'clock yesterday morning intending to
reach the village by a march, as he feared
train wreckers. After accommodating it
was apparent that the track was in a con-
dition 10 permit traffic, despite rumors of
dynamite. The engineer was ordered to
proceed cautiously and toward dawn,
when the clouds were still about the
mountain tops, the engine arrived
within a short distance of the village of

At . o'clock a. m the troops were formed
int battle line and hasty march on the
village began. The soldiers entered with
out a shot being fret. The Chickasaw
guards, the crack company of Memphis,
was the picket line. General Carnes de-
manded the surrender of the village; a
group of men offered no objection, and the
little village was again a lawful commu-
nifty of the state of Tennessee. Carnes had
previously sent message to the commit
tee of miners threatening to fire on the
village if Anderson was not released.
No Farley With Rioters.
He again sent message demanding the
unconditional surrender of the colonel
and refused to confer with the rioters, al
though an attempt was made to parley.
The first reply of the miners was that they
would accede to all the generals demands,
but that they could do nothing unless they
were given time. They were given the
time. Presently the committee appeared
and said they had concluded not to release
Anderson.
Getting the Guns in Line.
Orders were given to mount the Cat
ling gun and bring the 6-inch long range
cannon ready for the action. A detail
was sent through the village to arrest all
the men they could handle. The detail
returned with almost 100 men, many of
whom were miners or people closely
related to the miners. These prisoners
were to be held as hostages. This sum-

p. m. Anderson was delivered to his
