the alleged noonshiners.7 Floyd had
boasted that ne would never be taken
alive and he was captured only after loss
of blood had difrmed his eye and made
his nerve unsteady. ''''t i-''i' y :,
Two nervy deputies made the captures.
They were Internal Revenue Agent Knox
Scott and Chief Deputy Marshal Ashley.
They laid their plans craftily Friday
night when about to begin battle. They
concentrated their apparently forlorn
hope upon the leader of the band, Jim
Floyd, and when his companions saw him
lying prone at the officers mercy they
fled with their fighting spirit gone.
The two officers believed that Floyd
and some of his companions were in the
home of Bob Allen and shortly after dark
they attacked his house. During the
shooting Floyd appeared at a window
and was shot as he attempted to jump
through it.
Three Of Floyd's friends in the house
then gave up the fight and the officers
started on night roundup Of the 9TH

at them. and by good luck escaping even
the slightest scratch, the pair captured
