NOW THE SOLDIERS They Adopt the Methods of Judge Lynch MORE LAWLESSNESS IN TENNESSEE. State Troops Take a Man from his House to "Avenge" the Death of a Comrade - A Miner Forced to Give Evidence by Being Strung Up - Probability of Further Bloodshed in the Coal Creek District. Knoxville, Aug. 11 Dick Drummond, the assassin of Private William Loughery at Briceville, Monday night, was taken from his boarding house and hanged from a high railroad trestle near that village. The deed is supposed to have been committed by a number of Fort Anderson soldiers, who were comrades of the murdered private. After the lynching Drummond was left hanging to the trestle until morning, when his body was cut down and the coroner's inquest held, which reported death at the hands of unknown persons. Miners Threaten the Military The affair created the greatest excitement in the mining districts, and many were the threats made against the soldiers. The evidence against Drummond was obtained by the stringing up of a miner named Elkins, who, to save himself from death at the hands of the soldiers, divulged the whole story, which implicated Drummond and a miner named Moore, the last named whom escaped. Dave Woods, a notorious character, was run out of the district to keep from being lynched. A Thousand Men on a Strike When the news of the trouble first became known in Knoxville, some excitement was caused and the universal opinion of all was that the labor riots of last summer are about on the eve of repetition. One thousand miners have gone out on a general strike from the thirteen mines located in and around Coal Creek and Briceville. Troops in Readiness to Move A dispatch received from Lieutenant Fiffe ? at Fort Anderson corroborates the above, and says that trouble is feared, though they are fully prepared to meet any emergency. Company D, of this city, is now in readiness and will go to Coal Creek on a moments notice.
