All the militia unable to leave this morn

The opinion is held here by many that by
Tennessee will again be III fermenJ.
On May LIST many of the present con-
tracts between mine operators and the men
expire and new contracts must be made
The posses at Coal Greek and Oliver

command of only sergeants,all superior of

peror officers are hurrying back.
If the trouble at Tracy City is promptly

tack will be made on the two posts named.
The local military forces have been put in
readiness tonight to move. The command

be denied but that there is good deal of
nervousness

There is no change in the situation at Tracy
City today. The troops have settled down
into ordinary camp life, and wall probably
have little to do until ordered home, which
will doubtless be as soon as the Instructions
of the board of prison inspectors to increase
| the guard to seventy-tive men are carried
| out.
It is said the convicts were aware of the
| intended attack Wednesday night, and had
arranged to make a break for liberty. They
were sent back into the mines today and
| were nsolent and noisy Sixteen men, OF
| the McMinnvlle company, rode forty miles
| over the mountains on horseback and ar
| rived this morning.
| Sheriff Sanders. who has taken an active
| part in queling the trouble, it is said, has
! been warned that he is in danger of per
sOnal violence.
The attacking party. it is now stated. had
| not more than fifty men and was composed
| of the younger and rougher element. N0
