ed by armed men and the Harpes
not only succeeded in breaking |
out of the jail, but secured the
firearms of the parties, who
were engaged in guarding the
jail, and thus supplied with
means of resistance, they fled in
the direction of the Rolling Fork
of Salt river, the banks and val
legs, along which. were then
heavily clothed with thick and
almost impenetrable cane brakes.
Joseph Ballenger and some 9TH
rs pursued them and overlook
them upon the banks of the Roll
ing Fork, but the.sexact place is
now forgotten. When the
Harpes were discovered, they
sprang up and threatened the
pursuers with presented guns,
causing them to retreat. Prob
ably, the pursuers were1not pre-
pared for a desperate contest
with them. They repaired to
the home of Henry Skaggs, who
was man of great courage and
determination, and who was one
of the Long Hunters, who came
into Kentucky with Col. James
Knox in the year ITO. Skaggs
was the owner of several dogs,
which they secured, and return
ing to the place where the Harpes
had been discovered, pursued
them for some distance with the
dogs, but W hen night came on
the cane was so thick that they
gave up the pursuit and went to
their homes for the night. The
next morning, Skaggs went to
place, where men were engaged
in rolling logs, and when he had
told of the occurrence, a negro
man, who was present, gave the
information that the Harpes had
broken Jail and doubtless were
the men whom Skaggs and 9TH
ers had pursued the evening pre-
vious. Major James Blaine was
present and proposed that they
should quit the log rolling and
pursue the murderers with dogs
and capture them, but the cons
census OF opinion was, that the
cane brakes were so thick that
their efforts to capture them
would be futile. The Harpes
proceeded on their way and
passing through Adair county, |
they met John Trabue, the
young son of Col. Daniel Trabue,
upon the road, and who had
with him a small sack filled with
meal or flour. The young man
had been sent, by his parents,
upon an errand, to the house of
a neighbor. He was never af-
forwards seen alive. The Harpes
doubtless desired the contents of
his sack and to conceal the rob-
berry or else for pure fiendish-
ness, they killed the boy and
cast his body into a hole in the
ground, which was beside the
road or trail. Some years after
ward the skeleton of the boy
was discovered in the hole. The
hole, commonly called a sink
hole, into which the body was
thrown, is situated about three
miles west of Columbia, and i'm
mediately beside the original
road from Columbia to Glasgow.
