NINE MEN KNOWN TO Be DEAD.
Clash Between Posse and Mountain
eers More Fatal Than First
Reports Indicated.

Later advices from Middlesboro.
KY. regarding the bloody battle be-
tween a sheriff's posse and a gang
Of mountaineers, states that although
the scene of the fight between the
sheriff's posse and Lee Turner's men
is less than four miles from Middles-
boro, 1t is still impossible to ascertain
the exact casualties on the Turner
side. 1t is known that nine men, all
told, are dead, but it Is not known
definitely how many men were in the
log cabin, designated in first reports
as a saloon, when the officers made
the attack and burned it, and 1t may
be that several were killed or wound
ed and were consumed in the flames.
Those who escaped into the Cumber-
land mountains are still defiant. The
dead are:
Deputy Sheriff Charles Cecil Posse
man John Doyle, and the following
mountaineers: Charles Dye, ne
gro; Marsh Wilson, Perry Watson,
Frank Johnson, bartender; Mike
Welch, jim Prado, Joe Hopper.
There are reports Of wounded Tur-
ner men being taken care Of in the
mountains.
Fight Caused BY Mules.
A month ago some mules owned by
Turner were levied upon because of
debt due Giles Colson. A week ago
Turner, with a bodyguard, went to
Virginia, where the mules had been
taken, and regained them. While es'
Gaping, Moore McCreary, one of Tur'
ner's hands, was mortally wounded.
Wednesday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Thompson, of Bell county, swore in a
posse of fifty citizens of Middlesboro
to arrest Turner and the men impli'
Gated in the Virginia raid.
Turner heard of this and gathered
the mountaineers into his fortress for
his defense.
When the posse arrived demand
for surrender was refused and firing
began at once. Deputy Sheriff Cecil
was killed In front Of Turner's gate
John Doyle, a member of the posse,
endeavored to secure Cecils body and
was shot dead.
Enraged by this the posse set fire
to the wooden fortress. The flames
spread rapidly and a steady stream OF
bullets was poured into the barricade,
resulting in the known deaths OF sew
en- other men. Finally number Of
Turner'S men fed to the mountains.
Trouble is expected, however, before
any arrests are made on the charge
Of numbering Cecil and Doyle. At
last accounts Lee Turner, with his
brother, "The General" and large
force, were patrolling the district
around the ruins of the quarter house
and will allow no one from Middles-
boro to pass to the Mingo mines or
elsewhere. Meantime the officers are
reticent as to their next move.

Causes Great Surprise.

An important parliamentary paper
was issued at London Tuesday night
giving the terms of a PRACTICAL ALI.
