learned that Clip Davis vas syscenas
ically bagging the returning men and
had possession of the l:olse.
As it was above ali else necessary to
protect the return OF the men of his
regiment, and as the sheriff was on the
point of arming the country and pre-
venting it, he determined to make
short work OF him. 1t was not diff
,ult job with his facilities He got to
The Lar2n .,o:.se in the night, disposed
his men in the woods 50 as to intercept
reinforccraents and then picked of
the sheriff's men as they appeared on
the grounds or balcony. at the first
shot, two of them rushed out and were
killed on the steps. Clip Davis knew
instinctively what this meant. He
barred his doors and stationed himself
at a window and succeeding in killing
one of Hendricks, men and disabling
another. His idea was to gain time
and wait for his reiaforcements. The
doctor, who saw from MS window in
the room where he had been locked,
what was going on. succeeded in
breaking out and went straight to the
shaft. In twenty minutes he had ten
men in the house. The captives were
liberated and rush made upon Clip
Davis who. received them with all the
fire he had and was killed at the
window.
Hendricks kept this work up with
vigor, intending, il possible, to prevent
the escape of a single soul who would
report the discovery of the gold upon
the men. Before two hours were over,
he was master of the situation and
then waited quietly in the house for
the reinforcing party.
The result was cruel and success
full one. The posse of only six men
rode up to the gate unsuspiciously and
had no sooner got upon the Enclosure
of the lawn, than they were received
with murderous volley from the
house and another from the wood. In
a moment the lawn was strewn with
their bodies.
Hendricks knew very we'll that all
this meant war and he faced it with q
vigorous military energy. He con-
verted the house into a fortress and
barracks and began moving all that
was valuable into the cave.
AS the affair was reported to the
governor of Tennessee, it looked like
an organization of robbers who had
taken possession of the Laran house
for their headquarters. He therefore
appointed new sheriff and placed the
Memphis Tigers eighty men) and the
Crockett Fuseliers of Paducah sixty
four men) under his orders with in
structions to proceed at once to Upton
county and arrest the gang. Adjt.

Gen. Luscomb met part Of the troops
and the sheriff of Marshall and pro-
ceeded overland with them to Laran.
The sanitarium stood upon rounded
knoll of about ten acres, corresponding
to another and larger knoll which Hen
bricks had by measurement fixed upon
as the crown or roof of his rOtunda.
The ground sloped gradually to the
road two hundred feet away, which
road marked the valley between this
hill and another slight but extended
excavation that began on the other
side and stretched away eastward into
the wilderness.
To the west there was clearing and
the stables and extensive outhouses,
and beyond a heavy timber belt that
ran with occasional breaks almost to
Marshall. 1t was from this direction
that the troops came. They surround
ed the house in the early morning and
the adjutant general, on a fine white
horse in full uniform and gold epau-
lets and cooked hat and sword, rode
upon the lawn and in an impressive
voice called upon all the house to sur
render.
A voice from the house replied:
''This is private property. If the COM
handing officer will come in, l will
confer with him"
There was consultation on horse
back, the sheriff and the general
leaning over and evidently comparing
views.
While thus engaged Hendricks made
his appearance upon the balcony.
General" he said, lit is my desire
to avoid bloodshed. If you will step
inside we can probably arrange mat
ters- pledge you my word that no
treachery will be attempted"
The general and the sheriff moved
their horses up to the steps, and the
general said, with much pomposity:
''Do you know who am. sir? rep
resent the outraged dignity of the SOW
ereign state of Tennessee. 1 command
you to give yourself up instantly, to-
gether with all your confederates and
belongings. That is the only way to
avoid bloodshed."
Hendricks smiled. You are too old
and experienced an oficer." he said,

| and gave it as his opinion that Hen
bricks and his men had gone east.
The old sheriff was suspicious, blunt
and unceremonious. you've got q
ID suspicious house here" he said,
land I'm going to get to the bottom of
it. Where does that wire go?"
"It was intended to go to Memphis,
but it was never finished"
"Well, sir, there has murder been
committed here. If l don't find the
guilty parties I'm in search of I'll bag
the whole establishment and take you
to Covington."
The doctor smiled-remarked thst
that would be rather rough treatment
for innocent people and then asked the
sheriff to drink.
But Clip Davis was not a man to
settle down comfortably under any of
the amenities. He took possession of
the house, searched it thoroughly,
locked the inmates in their rooms and
put guards in the halls. It was thus
impossible for the doctor to inform
Hendricks of what was going on, and
the next morning he was astonished to
learn that four stragglers had been
picked up in the woods, brought in
and searched and large quantity of
gold taken from their persons. They
refused to give any account of them
selves and were shut up in an upper
room and guarded unit. they could be
sent to Covington. In the course of
the day two more were brought in and
five hundred dollars in gold taken
from each of them. The doctors
nervousness over these proceedings
can well be imagined, especially as he
could not communicate with Hendricks,
and the sheriff's remark, under any
other circumstances, would have had
flavor of humor. I'VE have struck a
bonanza" he said; 1.-The woods are full
of them" He then sent to Covington
for reinforcements and secured the
whole neighborhood, making his head
quarters at the Laran house until he
had got to the bottom of the mystery.
The next day in attempting to arrest
two tramps one Of them was chased
far down to the southwest and sud-
denly disappeared. He undoubtedly
reached the Bayou house and com
municated with Hendricks, who inn
mediately suspected the truth, and,
making up party of twenty-five
mounted men, headed them himself
and started off in the night for a re-
connoissance. They were out two
nights, and on the first afternoon over
took and killed the chasing party OF
two that was retrrninp IN <ho Tar~,

HAPPY. ACCIDENTS.

Some of the most celebrated dis
coveries in the world of science and
art have been the results of happy
accidents. The worker, striving earn
estly for one thing, finds that, while
failing in his original quest, he has
attained another and far more won
derful one.
The discovery of steam was one of
these happenings" as we all know.
The boy Watt, always thoughtful and
planning, sat one day by his mother s
kitchen fire. There was the teakettle
swinging from it's hook, and the
steam violently lifted the lid of the
kettle. As it rose and fell, and the
boys eyes followed the motion of the
lid, his brain was fired with the
thought: eff this small puff of steam
can move the iron lid, why would
not larger amount move a larger
object?" and the whole subject of
steam navigation was there in a nut
shell.
The quick wit of woman discov-
cred the strange force now known as
galvanism. The wife of celebrated
savant, Galvani, of Bologna. Italy,
was one day idly looking at some
dead frogs, just skinned, for some
purposes of scientific investigation,
when suddenly the legs moved con-
vulsively. She called her husbands
attention to the strange phenomenon,
and soon from that one small starting
point he evolved the wonderful theo-
ny and principle of the galvanic bat
terry.
Glass is made from melted sand,
as all school boys know, but the dis
covery was one of merest chance.
Accordinga t. history, number of
sailors were shipwrecked upon the
coast of Spain, and, building a fire
upon the sand to dry their dripping
garments, found, after the fire died
down, crystalline substance, which
was the first glass known to man
kind.
The pendulum of our modern clock
was the result of a chance look of
Calico, as he stood in a cathedral
and saw the chandelier oscillate back
and forth. He had the genius to ap
ply the discovery, and thus clocks
were invented in the year 1859.
The beautiful gloss and smooth |
surface OF our satin fabrics are all |
the find of a lucky weaver. One day,
when trade was dull, this man walked |
back aud forth before his loom, think
ing how he could increase his bust
ness. Each time he passed the ma
chine he pulled short threads from
the work, and carelessly placing them
in his mouth, he rolled them over
and finally spat them on the floor.
After awhile he picked up one of
these balls of silk thread, and upon
nnrolling it was astonished at its
hrilliancy. Catching the idea, he
made experiments and finally pro
auced the beautiful satin.
Many more of these happy acci
dents might be mentioned--the fall
Of the apple that led Newton to the
theory of gravitation; the flying kite
Of Benjamin Franklin that drew the
lightning down from the skies; the
discovery Of modern porcelain, and
Of the principles Of TYPOGRAPHY.
History abounds in these incidents.
and no doubt the world will vet be
enriched by many more ben efactions
