for the purpose Of arrcstinS Turner. Rail-
road TRANSFORMATION was refused the Off
GERS and they footed it through the
mountains.
PREPARED FOR THE ATTACK.
Turner had heard thata attempt would
be made TO arrest him and he and his
men, fifteen in number. were prepared.
The saloon is built of huge logs and is
surrounded by a thirty-foot fence, in
which loop holes were cut. Turner'S sur
round of shots Charley C. Cecil, OF Mid
dlcsboro, was riding q palirey in plain
view OF the Turner gang. Some one, be-
lieved to have been Mike Welch Turner'S
bartender fired through Il window, killing
Cecil. Instantly the murdered. man fell
back, pierced by a half dozen bullets.

trees and rocks. In tho shooting that fol-
lowed John Doyle, a former railroad man,

Several of his men perished in the
flames. Many rumors are reported to-
night one being that five of the Turner
