After Sheriff Harmon of Jacksboro heard of the battie he organized a posse “ and started to the isolated mountain dis- trict where the battle occurred to hunt for the man who fired on the revenue force. Here it was discovered that Ward nad left the spot where he had fallen, and the bloodhounds trailed him about half a mile, where he was found and given first aid and later brought ! here. The scene of the battle was on Fork creek, two miles west of Lafollette. Of- ficers ‘arrived at a_still, said to have been operated by Hayes, before day- break and remained in walting until the arriva! of Hayes about daybreal Deputy Marshal Smith called to Hayes to drop a gun it is said he carried.

A trail of blood was picked up later and it led to an abandoned shack on a farm | sald to have been leased by Hayes. —_—— ALLEGED DRAFT EVADER RENOUNCES RADICALISM | _Linn A. E.
