some where near the Knoxville pike,
and some years ago while digging the
foundation for house it was dug up,
and the writer now has it in his
possession. A living witness can
also be referred to.
Dr.. Edward w. Tedford was just
young enough to miss enlistment, and
lived in the country a few miles out.
He Glanced to come to town the day
Wheeler came along. He was near
the guns when they were numbered,
and it is said that he saw the first one
fred being in few feet of the gun,
and when the ball hit the Court
House he was passing the old tan
yard. That is the way the story goes,
and if it is not true, just ask MIN, for

himself.
The guns taken with Cavalry COM
mands were small, SO that they could
be easily and quickly moved and used
and effective at short range.

HISTORY CONCERNING
COUNTY COURT HOUSE

1t is hard to account for erroneous
versions of transaction and occur
rences that gain circulation. The
old Court House, being the second
built in Blount County, stood partly
on the ground now occupied by the
Bank of Blount County. 1t was
built before the Civil War, and was
burned in 1879. During the war
Lieutenant Dorton in command of
Union soldiers was stationed and bar
ricaded in the Court House. General
Wheeler made a Cavalry raid around
through East Tennessee, and attack
ed Dorton with his squad in the old
building. While Dorton's command
was small, he was so we'll prepared
that he gave Wheeler a great deal of
trouble to do any thing with him.
Finally Wheeler numbered his ar
tillery and turned loose on the build
ing. Two or three shot went through
the house, and one she'll exploded in
the Court room. DortOn was com
PEELED to capitulate after as brave a
defense as was ever made under like
circumstances. In these later years
the errors Of this affair have grown
in. 1t has been repeated, and on
some occasions told in public address,
es, that Wheeler numbered his ar
tillery and fired from where Mary
vile College now stands. He was not
over on that hill. The artillery was
fired from the crossing of Main and
Love Streets, near the corner of
wehre the Sam Houston Inn now
stands. Part u IN exploded shell

further to Mr.. Hooper's on West
Buffalo, the man who was raising
some black cattle. We learned or
getting to Mr.. HOOper's that his cat
tie were on the Hooper's Ball, six
miles away with some more black
cattle belonging to Mr.. George
Walker and Sheriff Ammons. We
were not anxious to climb the mount
aims as we had about enough mount
aims, but we finally decided to climb
them, as we could not see the cattle
unless we did.
After getting up some ratiOns we
started for the Hooper Ball about 1
o'clock P. NJ. 1t had rained all the
forenoon. We arrived there about
dark, it set in to raining again and
rained all night. Next morning we
started from the cabin, east, down a
long ridge called the Stewards ridge
stopping, listening and calling at
short interval we finally heard
some bells off to our right, in a rich
cove, Mr.. Hooper began calling and
the cows began bawling, l thought
never heard such loud voices in my
life, but since | have learned that
loud shrill voice is characteristic of
the Angus COW. Finally calves be-
gan bawling. Mr.. Hooper kept calling
and cows continued to come a little
closer. About II COWS and calves
came out on the ridge where we
were. l thought it was the prettiest
sight | ever saw. The cows were
slick and fine and the little calves
were as fat as pigs. I decided right
there that 1 would grow them at
home just ike them. SO we got in
behind them and started them toward
the camp. On getting back to the
among them was a ga bull which l
bought, being the best that Mr..
Hooper had for sale except an old
bull that had come out of J. P. WISER
ings herd in Illinois, and which we
had not found yet. We drove the
cattle on uot the mountain to a place
where we would start for home, leav-
ing them there till we went on furth-
er to see if we could find Sardius
(the old BulD We found him by him
self on the very top of the Hooper
Ball. So we started him back to
where the other cattle were. When
they got together it was very evident
that there was going to be a Bull

way the dirt was Aving, while stand
ing there watching them all of sud
den the old bull made a dash at the

Tough Luck Can Not Keep Him
From Raising Fine Cattle.

In a recent article in The
Times, Mr.. John Hitch told of
his first experiences as a raiser
of black cattle. Now he gives
some further experiences,
which are especially interest
ing because they show how de-
termined he was to go into
the business, despite hardShips.
After getting my first bull crippled,
l was so encouraged in the cattle rails
ing business that l wanted to try my
luck with another bull. | learned
from Mr.. Edgar Gates that a man by
tie name of S. S. Hooper, in North
Carolina, was raising black cattle and
being in need of cattle for breeding
purposes we decided to make the trip
and see if we could not get our cattle
This was in September 1909, we
started early one morning, going as
far as uncle Noah Burchfeld's in
Cades Cove by II o'clock. Unsadl-
ing we fed our horses and did a good
part by the contents Of our sadie
pockets, which were the running
gears of a good sized chicken, after
which we set out for the toll gate, a
place where we had to pay a toll
which was supposed to be spent to-
ward keeping up miles of mountain
road. This was a long evenings ride
through the mountains, the most of
the time we were wondering if we
were lost. About shutdown we came
to Mr.. George Davis place. He
treated US very kindly telling us
many big snake and bear tales. Next
morning we started on our journey
with the Little Tennessee River only
6 miles ahead of US, miles up and
3 miles down finally coming to the
river at the place called Rocky Point
Mr.. Gates told us we would have to
swim our cattle there if we got any.
Having never swum cattle, l was not
very anxious to buy any and take
chances on swimming them. 1t
looked too blue and deep, but Mr..
Gates consoled us by telling US that
they were no trouble to swim, and
so we travelled on across the river, we
tral eled eight or nine miles through
the mountains before coming to any
cleared plantations, finally we came
to Mr.. George Shutters, on Yellow
Creek. Here we separated, leaving
Mack Hitch to buy cattle on Yellow
Creek and Cheeoee River country,
while Mr.. Gates and myself rode on
about fourteen or fifteen miles

People with kidney ills want to be
cured. When one suffers the tortures
of an aching back, relief is eagerly
sought for. There are many remedies
today that relieve, but do not cure.
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought
lasting results to thousands. Here is
Maryville evidence of their merit.
Mrs. Harve Law, High St., Mary
vile, says: my kidney trouble
started with a weakness across my
back, which was soon followed by
soreness and lameness. The com
plant kept getting worse, and l had
dizzy spells, when everything before
me turned black. Headaches were

tie, and l bought them, driving them
in the next day, Tuesday. Wednes-
day we weighed the cattle that come
from Robbinsville and got some
hands to start home next morning,
Thursday. We left George Shulers
Thursday morning in hard rain,
with 154 cattle getting to the river
at Rocky Point about 10 o'clock. We
had the cattle cut in punches and had
some extra hands at the river to rush
them in as they came down the steep
mountain to the rivers edge, was in
the hindmost bunch and when | got
in hearing could not hear any thing
but ha ha! hal. 1t was a very ex-
citing scene, which l will never for
get. The far bank was lined with
cattle trying to climb out on the
rocks, but so tired from the drive
and long swim they could hardly get
up the steep bank. The river was
full of cattle from one bank to the
other, swimming mostly in an I'M
broken line with their bodies entirely
under the water and only their heads
out of the water. By the time my
bunch got to the rivers edge all the
other cattle were swimming to the
bank, except one steer which had
turned around and swan back to the
bank were our bunch was coming in,
we tried to whip him back in the
river, but could not. He tried to
climb the steep mountain but being
headed off by some of the hands he
took down the bank. Going as far
as he could for the rocks hanging out
over the river, he decided to risk his
life in the swift river, as it Was one
of those places where the mountain
had closed in and made the river very
swift, you could hear it roar for
miles. We stood and watched him
as the water beat him over the large
rocks. Sometimes we could only see

over the large rocks, finally he got to
the other bank and took to the
mountains and we never saw him for
year. He became very wild and
lived in the mountains that winter
we, going back to the other cattle
and men, gathered them up as they
were scattered along the bank among
the rocks and started for the toll gate
it being about IL o'clock. About 3
O'Clock we arrived at the toll gate
and counting our cattle we found
that we had lost about 6 head. We
started fire and warmed up some
diner of canned meats and bread that
we had in our saddle pockets, which
the men all eat greedily, as they were
tired and wet and hungry, having
driven in the rain all day. Next
morning Friday, we counted our
cattle and started home, having a
fair day, we got along fine, not loos-
ing any cattle but having hard time
to get place to stay all night. We

it being after II o'clock and we were
six or seven miles from Hooper's
home. But Mr.. Hooper told US that
we could not drive them at all until
one of them whipped the other. So
while they were fighting it out, we
found dry sticks and made a fire and

eaten our meat and bread, we found
the old bull had whipped the young
err one, and so we started home, TAX
ing only the cattle we had bought
which 1 think was about 20 head, Mr..
Gates buying the steers and l the
bulls and cows and heifers. The next
morning being Friday, Mr.. Gates
went back to the place where we left
Mack, not having heard from him
since we left him on Tuesday, | with
Mr.. Hooper, went to Robbinsville.
On getting to Robbinsville, we learn
ed that Mack had taken sick and was
wanting to go home. We bought about
rs cattle that day and went back to
Mr.. HoOper's that night, we also
made arrangements to go to the
Swan mountains on the next Mon
day to see Mr.. George Walkers cat
tie. Next morning, Saturday, we
started with all the cattle we had
bought from Mr.. Hooper and in his
neighborhood to Mr.. George Shuler's
on Yellow Creek, where we were to
lot them together, until we started
home. But having some bad luck we
did not get there, night coming on US
about 3 miles short of the place. We
stopped at Mr.. Riley Orr's on
Cheowee River, whose kindness to
us we very much appreciated as we
were very tired and hungry having
drove a hard days drive-The next
morning Sunday, we found that our
cattle were only under a brush fence
and were wanting to go back. We
herded them until II o'clock, but be-
ing unable to hold them longer we
decided to move on to the pasture, or
the place where we were taking them
at Mr.. Schulers. We regretted to
move them on Sunday, but could not
do any other way. On getting to Mr..
Schulers we found Mr.. Gates, but
Mack had gone home, sick, but it
proved only to be love kind. They
had bought several cattle and were
about ready to start home, but as l
had made arrangements to see Mr..

Mining around Nome will this sea- son not be so widely scattered as pre- ceding years although considerable prospecting will be done. The ten- dency is to concentrate prospecting around spots where pay has been recently uncovered. For this reason many outfits will try their luck in the vicinity of Dexter, another bunch will sink with hopeful energy around the Diamond L on the Third beach line, and several more have lined up close to Jensen and Son who are on very good pay on the Second Beach. In addition several important operations are under way along Nome's old reliable standby: Center creek.
