THE STORY OF A MAN WHOSE DEATH
IS RECORDED OX A POPLAR TREE.
A Narrative of Some Very Lively E\'i>e

Narrow Escape of a. 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

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.

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

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.
"Didn't :spect tor ?ee rnc this morniiv,

* His laughter echocd through the
woods ami sounded fienish as it came,
back from the mountain side. I knew
Cap Hawkins well. Lawless as lie

men of the mountains. Brave as a |
lion, lie had an unbounded admiration j
lor courage in others; cunning as a
fox, he respected a man who could
outdo him in craftiness. 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. "Don't frighten the j

A train he roared a* if lie would

The outlaw made no response to my
random talk, nor did lie laugh as bej
foiv. Some;Isit*ir seemed t-j worry
! liii' , for he lidyvled about, scratcneii i
j lii- tiiioombcd head ami ran his bony
fii:^.-:s through his grizzled, tangled i
bo.: 1.1.

lit: rtiiml in his horses and slopped
the w.iirof." 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. "That air ;t

my own wciiU, lit; fairly mailc tiit

"?ur?*!v y.m don't intend to murder
me, Cap?"
' That air jes about ii, I reckon,
i Kttrnei. Ye air cross Ujc dead line,

I Before I could say more his three
I companion* climbed into the wa^'ii
! beside me. CJuekiiijr to his horses he
! drove on at a trot through tiie pass,
{ and as ! !;e sun rose over the mot?mum
I we entered the precincts of Slee py
I Cove, it mu.-l have been id o'clock,
yet into lonesome fp.?i the son
was just bii*yiii:ii: ^ :<> his r:;ys.

moonshiner* had ever been known to
come from Sleepy Cove alive, consequently
none ever voluntarily entered

These thoughts were passing through i
i mv mind when suddenly the wagon
stopped, o::;j IK>o 1'oiu men threw themselves
iiiioattituurc of attention, grasping
thcii* gnus ami cauiing Uin.ve

! -Tht* aiivsdv placing j
the in*wider in position, and when Cap i
Hawking hud Mjuoczed his way out j
the rock was rolled into the opening. 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.

me that I was in a hoiiow tree. A

j The following are a few extracts:

do not speak in our own name, but in that
of the Holy See, whose advice we have
asked. Tn fact-, during the month ef October',
1883, we sent to liomu an authentic

[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 ? ' -A-4: - J?J*- ? ,
ral admission was allowed.
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
