MOUNTAIN DESPERADOES
IN A FIERCE BATTLE
Six Men Killed and Several Wounded
in the Fight Between Bandits
and Posse

Middlesboro, Ky, Feb 13.-One Of
the worst battles ever fought in the
Cumberland Mountains occurred yes
terday afternoon at Lee Turner'S
"blind tiger saloon four miles from
here. The battle was between Tur-
ner's mountaineers, 20 in number, and
Is or more citizens of Middlesboro,
who were sworn in as a posse to ar
rest Lee Turner. Turner owed Gills
Coleson some money and the latter
had levied on his mules. Turner on
Wednesday night by force took the
mules away from Coleson. In the
fight that followed yesterday Charles
Cecil. one of the Middlesboro officers,
was killed, and John Doyle, another
officer, was fatally wounded. Five Of
Turner's men we're killed.
When the firing began the officers
scattered, hiding behind trees and
rocks. A torch was applied to an ex-
posed side of the building, and in a
few minutes the building was in
flames. Several OF the mountaineers
came to the window and were imme-
diately shot down. Lee Turner and
several of his friends, however, es-
capped and are reported to be at Mingo
Mines, eight miles from Middlesboro
Several of his men persisted in the
flames. Many rumOrs are reported
one being that five of the Turner gang
We're killed, and that five more per
ishcd in the flames. It is also believed
that the deputies lost several men.
Turner it is said graduated from
a college at Rose Hill, Va. His sa
loon is known for the difficulties that
have occurred there. Placing yes
terday's number of deaths at only six
So persons have been killed there and
twice that number wounded.
