names are UNKNOWN. AT least thirty
others were wounded, some of whom will
die, but it is impossible to obtain their
names tonight.
The mob is still under arms. There is
tense excitement, but it is not believed
that there will be any more blood
shed unless a call should be made
upon the governor for troops. If
troops are summoned every mountain
moonshiner for miles around will
assemble to repulse them, as the people
have little respect for anything but
local law. but will resent any
outside attempts to force them into
submission. AS far as they are concerned
the case is closed, as both sheriffs posse
and the mob are regarded as having done
their duty in dying with their boots on"

high, and alter few speeches the

death. Another battle took place shortly
After noon, in which AT least twenty five
more men were killed. and the firing is
still going on. What will be the result no
one here can tell, but troops are expected.
