OUTLAWS DEFEAT TROOPS
Kentucky State Guard Put to Rout
in the Mountains.
LOSSES IN MEN ON BOTH SIDES

Militia Tried to Surprise Politician Ball
and His Mon Near Middlesborough
But Failed-Fight Lasted All Through
the Afternoon - Brother OF Leader
Among Those Who Were Wounded.
Middlesborough, Ky.-The recently
organized company of State Guards
was defeated four miles south Of here
by Frank Ball and his band Of out
laws.
At least two soldiers were danger
ously wounded, two were found miss
ing, and Shelby Ball, a brother of the
outlaw leader, was badly wounded.
1t is said by some Of the returning
soldiers that they saw three OF four
of the outlaws fall.
1t was planned by Captain Albrecht
to take the band by surprise, but that
part Of the scheme failed. About 2
| o'clock in the afternoon 4 squad Of
twenty men marched put Of the town
in q direction opposite to that where
the outlaws have their home. Reach
ing the cover of the woods, they turned
sharply about and made for the moun
tain. In the meantime another COM
pany Of men marched in the direction
of the outlaws stronghold. They could
be seen plainly by the hunted men, who
are on a mountain which completely
overlooks the surrounding country.
When the soldiers reached the foot
of the mountain they halted, and
throwing out pickets, made prepare
tons for going into camp. The pre-
liminary. arrangements had hardly been
made when firing was heard up the
mountain slde-frst one shot and then
a fusilade. For two hours this kept
up, and then the soldiers who had
attempted the surprise slowly retreat
ed down the mountain. Dodging from
boulder to boulder, they backed away
from the enemy, who followed, firing.
Half way down the mountain side
the soldiers made O stand, but Ball
sent a thanking party out, and forced
them to keep going. That more men
were not killed is surprising.
The fight was kept up to the outskirts
the town, the soldiers returning in
squads of twos and fours. At night
another party was organized. 1t was
not known how many men Ball had at
his command, though the soldiers be-
lieved that there could not be less than
fifty in the band that repulscd them in
the afternoon.
The wires going into Cumberland
Gap have been cut and Ball threatened
to do the same for the:remaining wires.
The cause of the: present trouble
dates back eight weeks. At that time
Frank Ball was a candidate for Sheriff,
seeking the Republican nomination.
John Bolen, a barber; was also a poll.
tioian. Up to the announcement of
Balls candidacy, he and Bolen were
intimate friends. It is said by Ball
that he was promised the support of
Bolen.
However, when the convention met
Bolen threw bis influence to another
man and Ball lost the nomination.
Some days after this Bolen was shot
in the back while at work in his shop.
Suspicion pointed to Ball, and he was
indicted by the Grand Jury. He
promptly disappeared, gathered his
friends, and babe defiance to the law.
Ball has been in town several times,
but no one has had the temerity to at
tempt to arrest him, despite the $1,000
reward.
