Venturesome i'el- j low. {llE"lmrW in 'hs ,\V?r Yuri; Shir.) About the middle of last December Deputy United States Marshal Kellct was murdered by moonshiners in the mountains of North Georgia. An ' account of his killing, published in a j New York newspaper, said that onAtliot. woe flit ill thp Li"' mi!V Jar that guards the entrance to Sleepy Cove, the retreat of the outlaws, making live in all, each significant of the death at the hands of the illicit whiskey makers, of a revenue officer. Now, I was until recently a revenue officer, and I can without fear of con tra'iicticn say that no one is better acquainted with Sleepy Cove and thru big popla; than mhyself. I knew w 1 tlncc oi liie puor icllows whose epitaphs stand gaping there, silent but awful warnings, to all who would disturb the lawless men of that lonely cove: the fifth notch is for Kellett, but for whom the fourth was cut seems still to be a mystery to the surrounding neighborhood.* Moonshiners seldom make mistakes in their matters of murder, but in this instance I think they have lost their reckoning. That fourth notch was cut for me. I saw it done, with death staring me in the face. Is it possible that the outlaws still belt IIUVU 111} UUUUa tilU Uivuouiiii; \ju uiv damp ground in Smoky Hole? "When notch Xo. :> was cut there was a g.-eut stir in iXorth Georgia. Country people were wild with excitement. Revenue men riding through the mountains had a sort of itching in the back, and were inclined often to turn in the saddle. "We laid the murder of W? at the door of the notorious Cap Hawkins, the dariug leader of a fearless band of outlaws in the Cohutta Mountains, and as soon as possible we were on his trail with a good pack of bloodhounds. The scent was cold, and when we had penetrated seme eight miles into the range the dogs became disheartened. Alter circling round us time and again in search of the trail they gave it~up, and we were forced to retreat without having accomplished anything. It was dusk when we got out of the deep woods, and began to look about for "a place for the night. A log"cabin of two room^was not inviting, but the old crone who came to the door said she could provide for one of the party, and that the others might fiud accommodations at another' cabin a mile down the road. In some way it was -arranged that 1 snoulu ctay at her house, and join the party next morn ing. She made me as comfortable as possible. For supper I had pure corn bread and molasses, with a tin cup of something hot which she called colFee. AV'nilp T aro she smoked a clav nine. sitting in the chimney corner with her legs crossed and her fooi^wlngin^ incessantly. When ?he spoke to me, which she did ofiener than I liked, I cou'd not help feeling that she was trying- to pump me. She wanted to know entirely too much about the moonshiners and the revenue men, and before I finished my meal she made me look upon her with suspicion. Once or twice I allured to her family, for I thought it strange that she should live alone, and even went so far as to inquire about her husband, and ask when he would be at home. Bur she 1:^.1 - .???/! ?? ' I f !r?.? tr<J5 w' __ - rcpllt'u } UUU ull i. iuii* liVU VI uo that her old man and three grown boys were up Oil the mountain, tending crops. It did not require much exercise of my imagination to determine what kind of crops they were tending1. In thinking' of them my hand went instinctively to my trusty revolver, and the touch of the cold steel braced me up. I wondered how the men were getting on down at the other cabin, and if they could hear a pistol shot that far off. "When tlx old woman had shown me io n--j room, she returned to her chimney corner and her pipe and her foot swinging, ily bed was an old fashioned one, with ropes for springs and bear skins for mattress and cover. I didn't undress, but crawled just as 1 was between the skins, and laying on my back, thought I should not do much sleeping. "When my eyes grew accustomed to to the darkness and wandered aimlessly over the open ceilii-g, I saw something about the size of thu bed hanging directly over me. It seemed to swing slowly back and forth. I stood up and touched it, examined it as minutely as possible, and again lay down. It was nothing but three or lour bed quilts stretched across two boards supported at (he ends by short ropes. If it grew colder in the night I would reach up to tiiem for more cover. I intended to stay awake, but must have been nearly asleep when a cracking noise aroused me. The next moment it was repeated, and the quilts above me descended rapidly. It flashed upon me that I was in a trap. Drawing my weapon, I attempted to spring out of bed, determined to sell my fife dearly, but as I straightened up the quilts covered me, and before I could throw them off strong hands were at the corners. It seemed as if a ton weight had fallen upon me and doubled*me up. ily head was bent so close upon my breast that my neck would break. My breath came short and fast. With a frantic struggle I cocked my pistol and placing the mpzzle close against the quilt pulled the trigger. I lired at random, trusting that fate might guide the ball into the heart or head of some one of my cowardly assailants. The concussion was awful in that narrow spacc. The smoke tilled tnv eves, nose and cars; the shot rang through my brain; I felt that my last hour had come. My God, how I suffered! I remember a derisive jaugh rcL-'c seemed to have come from another .vorlcl, then something struck me on the head. When I recovered consciousness I was lying on my back in a jolting wagon, with .my hands and feet securely bound. The i>ale blue of the sky above u:e and tlie hazy outlines of the three-tops reaching overhead told j me that day was breaking. "Wal, Kurnel, air yu come roun* all riirht said a deep voice at siy head, liaising my eyes, I saw leaning over me the jrrizziy face of the outlaw, j Cap Hawkins. lie broke into a wiid laugh at my look of astonishment.

Knowing this, 1 determined to assume a hold air ftijd ;ulcct a supreme indifference to I my f : ? , whatever that was to be. "i), t ;?p, dry up," I began, winking I slyly ::t hiin.

Taking up an ax he handed it t<> s??ii:e person on the ground, and sa:d a tew words which I did not un- j di i>t;!!:d. I tried to raise myself to look out, but fell back helpless, lull ol sharp, shooting pains. My joints refused 10 bend, my neck creaked when I tried to turn my head and the strugj gle of the night came back to me like a j horrible repetition. At the fir>t sound ot the ax Uap jtiawKins put uis arm in.<')<T my back and forced mc to si: upright. "Lube air a-cuttin' ycr tombstone, Ktsnivl, an' 1 'lowed ye'd like ter git a last iook." To tl-.e right of the wagon stood a giant poplar lifting its sha?gy top SOU fve? above the road. In its trunk were three gaping wounds, and a moonshiner "in broad hat and big boots wa4 cu tiii" a toorth. Two other il!-l??oking men stook near, their guns in their hands. "Kurnel,'7 continued my guard, "do ye want ter write ver eperlaph?'' The ?nr.ii ! .ncrJiprl nr their chief. "Them other iliree Itevies didn't irit narv J chance ter write theini. I Joys, air any oJ yc got a pencil?" Too well I knew the meaning of tiia1 notch from which the sappy chips were fly it g. My heart quivered as the ax ate iis way into the soft wood. My face must haven fleeted my thought, tor the outlaw, giving me a geuile push, sent me on niv back. "Lay down, Kurnel. air don't ^it so alllired skeered," be ?aid.

I With a crunching* sound it settled into j place, aad I was a prisoner in Smoky Hole. I listened for the baying of the hounds, hoping that they had tracked j me to the cavc, bnt not a so anu penc- j trated the door of my prison. The 1 Sre burned briskly, and Smoky 3 lole J glowed in the light of tue pine knots, j It was the work of a few minutes to cat my bonds with the knife the outlaw had given me, ai".l thcu I took an inventory of the conlcnts ofthc cavern. The place had evidently been fitted up j for the iliieit manufacture of "tnoun- j tain dew" and "tanglefoot" and "red \ for tlicre were the wornont ; eopper still, the worm, the mash tub, j1 jn*:s and flasks and other apparatus of j the moonshiner. The cave was about I the size of a railroad hex car, except that the root' was higher and more : areht'w. I jabbed my kulfo into every square foot of the walls. They were solid rock. In a vain, mad effort to ruil the bowlder from tlic entrance, I (in.-w tne hiooa tro:? my snoniaer. it j was jjII ot no use. Unless help came ! to me from without my doom was | m a'e.l. A dull, heavy fee'ing came over tnc ami I sat down near the lire. T>.e confined air was getting close. Su?i- j denly, on looking up, I was appalled | .if the discovery of a new danger. The roof ot the cavern was no longer visible. The den?c, black smoke of the pitch pine, unahle to escape, was hanked above me like an ominous cloud, ever growing denser and biarkee and descending steadiiv, remorselessly, upon me like a veritable shadow of Death. Already 1 ho asphyxiating gases were causing my brain to whirl. 1 crawled to the fire and stamped upon the blazing knots until overv spark w.is extinguished, but they continued to | send up their stilling smoke. I could feil it ascending, hot and pitiless. Falling Hat upon the ground I saturated my coat sleeve with the water the outlaws had left me, and placing it against my mouth secured a Hill breath of strained gas. l>nt it gave : me little restate. Tiie hitrli pre>suie of ihe atmosphere m-ulu ni_\ vrin* swell almost to btirstin<r, my li:?ii(i> and feet were benumbed, and I \v:*s unable {o move a muscle. Then 1 io iued for death. Suddenly there was a loud oxplo sion, fallowed by a falling of loose eaitsi and rock and a rush of air. A faut rav of light appeared in the cori cr of the caveiM over the still, ?r??winir broader and s:r> im< r as the smoke j cleared away. With lift and siiei ?;h i renewed, L made my way to the opening, where I drank in the fresh air wi h a swelling 1 eart and a li^nter conscience than I had ev.- r hop. d to possess. The explosion Intd torn j away some roujrh masonry with which j the moonshiners had slopped up ;< ; fissure in the rock. It never occurred j to me in my investigation of the cave J that there ought to l?e some.wa> 01 ; exit for the smo! c of the still. I5n: : I everything was plain enough mhv. j | I had found the chimney, ami it \va< my j determination n? use it to advantage. In a moment, losgetful of pains and bruises, I was eliml i?>g for freedom. It was a tight squeeze now nnd then, hut I made rapid progress, and ft Ir so good over my prospects of escape that I wj'iiied lo sliout. But prudence rest mined me. Soon the rocky sides of the chimney g .\e place to w? oi, and the opei ing changed from llat to round. cnu i i climbed on, tnv spirits li-iuguith m\ j ascent. My progress was comparatively easy by the imitation of Brer ii;>b:>it's method of climbing a stump i hollow?that is, by bracing my back : ! one -itio <>f tin: chimney :iuil ; j :u\ feet and hands against the o;!u-r.

A Faction of "Oui?" Charge a Factiou of j In*"?Bloodshed in ConseqtK-iice. [From rhj Sa? ar N>w- ] CoLon-fA, ZMav 1.?Two weeks ago an application was made to Judge Frascr l>y Pastor Wai and a number of tin* former members of Bethel A. 31. E. Church for an order allowing them to take possession of the church property ami hold services in the building, Jx*veral days were occupied in the reading of affidavits and in argument. This afternoon Judge , Fraser tiled his order in the clerk's office, i T" vviovv of tilt' Cnse tile .Tlldife ! clearly shows that the party which used j to be led by \\ aters itne deposed pas-j tor; were in the wrong, and tliat they "had ; 110 right to exclude the present pastor : from using the church, lie says that the : world is wido and those who do not de- j sire to remain in this ehureh under his j ruling can move away. The order directed that on the Wail party giving a bond <>: one thousand dol-! Jars, to indemnify the other faction, the Wall pally should be let into possession of the church building. The required securities on the bund, exacted in Judge Eraser's order, were secured this afternoon and Sheriff liowau and his deputies sallied out to serve the order upon each of the nine defendants, ! trustees or ex-trustees of the church. ! All of these men have left their homes to I "* "? ? * . __ prevent tiie omer .oemg servea upon j tiicLu, and at 10.10 to-nigiit only one had been found. Messrs. i". Vv. and John McMaster and D. A. Strakcr, attorneys for the plaintiffs, decided that they would j enter tiie church to-night and take possession to prevent the possibility of a row to-moiTow. The pastor ami some twenty-five of his followers 1 wing very anxious that this should be done, a party of about thirty proceeded to the churc h about 10.40. Ine doors were found to be barricaded on the inside and theie were no lights in the building. Low voices could be heard, however, ill ex-1 cited conversation in the interior of the J church. I'astor Wall, at the direction of ! his attorneys, knocked at the door and; demanded entrance in tiie name of the j pastor of that church. This was prompt- i lv refused bv those inside. An assault j J ' * ? ^ J*.. ? J. 1 I was tileli maile upon xnc ironi uoor nut j with liu result, tioiiie axes were tin 11 j procured and two men set to work to | break the door to pieces. The cliief of j police was standing l>y the door preserv-. ing order in the crowd on the street, i Some one called from the inside of the i church that they would shoot. No no- j tice was taken of this threat, but a min-' ute Liter the report of a shot gun rang : out in the building, followed by Jive shots in quick succession from revolvers. At i the first report Chris. Lee, a colored man, I standing in front of the door, fell to the j ground shot in the abdomen with a pistol j ball, and a small negro boy, named John j Glassen, received a portion of a load of j shot in liis leg. The distance between j u-iui diil the shuotimr and those I who were wounded was not ton feet, At tlie lii-st volley the negroes scattered, and iu a minute after five more sliots were fired out of the door. No one was hurt by the List disci large. A representative of The News aud Cornier, seeing a window, open in the second .story of the church, looked up in time to es- : cape a large rock which was in the act of ; descending upon his head. Sheriff liowan, at this point, appeared upon the ground and called upon those in the church to surrender, x ivo came to the opening made in the door l>y the axes and were arrested and taken to the j:iiJ. Their names are as follows: Al>ram Moore, ist-n i atiick, i-Vuben Bright, i Jim Iloliinscin a]id .Robert Crensiiaw. 1 John ir'rauklin and George Corby are ; said to have jumped out of tlie windows and escaped, iiie doors were at ia-t i'orped and the pel ice "ami other law otlicers entered, foliov.-ed by i'astor Wall, OTI'l ?

The I>icr church, dimly lighted by oil lamps, was soon traversed by a mixed, crowd who stared at the abounding i'aster decorations and the mottoes of peace which adorned the walls, and wondered at the singular contrast of love and bate presented bv the sentiments and acts of the churchmen. Pastor Wall's faction hold the cimrch, and it can be prophesied that they will continue to hold it henceforth. The victims of the List battle of tin's famous' church war are badly hurt.
