New York Times, Among the crowds of refugees that poured into Camp Robinson during the early months of (852 were many union men from the mountains of southeastern Kentucky., One of these, men, Tom Burke of Wayne county, I distinctly remember, nor should I have fo:gotten him had not subsequent events served to impress hin on my mind. Tom Burke was a fine type of the Cumberland mountaineer. When I first met him, just before the battlo of Mill Springs, I had been in camp about twenty-four hours. Although he had enlisted, he still wore his butternut suit, and carried the old-fashioned hunting rifle he nad brought with him from howe. He stood fully 6 feet 2 inches in height, was straight as the barrel of his own rifle, and bore himself with the grace and ease of an uncaged tiger. The long black hair and heavy black eyebrows, witi well-set, bluish- gray eyes, told of a Celtic ancestry that had not changed its type after a century and a half in the mountains of Virginia and Kentucky, Burke was strikingly handsome, and, unlike most handsome men, he seemed to be unaware of the fact, He was re- ticent, low-spoken, for a mountaineer, and he differed further from them in that he neither used tobacco nor drank whisky; but he swore, not to emphasize his luu:fuugn, for ho never got excited. Ho had' learned to swear with his first lisping, and his profanity appeared to be a3 ausy und unconecious us his breath- ing. Tom Burke was also very religious, at loast he .fuvo me that ‘impression when I heard him talking in a camp rrnyer meeting soon after our firet meot- ng. f‘hynlonl beauty always attracts tho young. I suppose that is why Burke drew wmoe to biw from the first, for I was little more than a boy at the time. We became friends nt once, and the day after our first meeting he took me toone side, and, after confessing to me, in a shame-facad way, that he ‘‘didn’t know nothin’ ’bout readin’ nor writin’,” he said: “I want powah(ul bad to write a letter tos Fr\l down to Rock Crik—Rock Crik, that’s down in Wague county Kaintuck, whar I was riz.” “Your sweethonrt?” 1 asked, ns T pre- pared to write. “Waal, not_to brag on. Sis Ferguson.” This and much more of the same kind was said with a large admixture of oaths, and in a voice 80 low as to make profanity seem more like praying than swearing. I recall that I wrote the lot- ter, and as postal communications, never very certain in the mountains, wero entirely suspended, Burke had to depend upon his friends among the scouts to get his letters through, Tom Burke, after failing to be at- tached to the First Kentucky cavalry, in which he had a cousin named Hudson Burke, was mustered into the Second East Tennessee, in which he might sub- sequently have had a commission had it not been for his inability to read and write. After the battie of Mill Springs I lost sight of him and did not see him Her name’s | or hear of him again until the close of Bragg’s raid into Kentucky in the lat- ter part of October, 1862. After tho futile pursait of Bragg and Kirby Smith through the mountains of Kentucky, we were roturning by way of of Crab Or- chavd, when I learned that Burke was ®ounded—dying at & house near the springs. I went to see my old friend at once, and was shocked at the change Isaw in him. He had been shot through the vightlung in a skirmish with John Mor- gun, who commanded the confederato rear guard, near Crab Orchard. Dr. Threlkeld of the Eighteenth Kentuck who was in charge of the wounded, de clared that it wus o miracle that Burke survived the shot an hour, but his excel- lent habits and splendid’ physique had carried him through “in viclation of all medisal regulations and experience,” for six days. But it needed no second glance at the wan face and worn form to show that the lamp of life was flickering in the socket and might go outat nny moment. But, though so wasted and worn, there was still 2 glint of the brave old light in | the blue-gray eyes, and the voice, very low now because of his weakness, was not much changed, AsI held his hot hand in mine, he whispered: *‘I've heerd as how she got thatletter, butshe dide’t take hit ez if she thought I meant hit. I don’t hanker to die, though I won’t say I'm skeert at goin’, but, oy ——, hit kinder soaps the way to think I’m ’bout to be done fo’ good with that d—d Sis Ferguson.” That night Tom Burke ceased to per- plex the doctors by dying. His cousin, Hudson Burke, was with him atthe time of his death and took charge of his few effects. Hudson Burke, though not 80 prepossessing a man as Tom, was re- markably fine looking, and thete was a family resemblance between them that was striking. Hudson had been mustered out of service on account of a wound received some months before, but being mustered out of ser- vice did not moun pe:ce at that time to any union man in the mountains of Kentucky. The day following the burial of Tom Burke, and two days betore we resumea our march back in the direction of Nashville, I saw Hudson Burke in ex- cited conversation with ore of the most remarkable Jooking women I had ever seen, and, although I had never had a description of her, I came to the con- clusion on the instant that this was Sis Ferguscn, and my surmise proved to be correct. =X I do not have to refer to my journal to bring that woman vividly before me after the lapse of these many years. She was above the average height of women, but so perfectly formed as to seem undersized in contrast with the man to whom she was talking. The olive-brown face was framed by a mass of blue-black hair that hung down her baclc as if it had never been constrained by net or braid. Her eyes matched her hair in color, and there was in them at this time a glow that bespoke anger rather than grief. Tho forelLead was low, the nose strong and straight, and the mouth and chin told of fierce puas- sion and reckless determination. It was a fuce to attract an artist and to repel a lover if she (id not choose to be graci- ous. The small, powerful hands were as brown as her [ace, and her] feet were incased in cavalry boots, and rusty red splotches on one incicated that they had recently been tuken trom the body of a dead trooper. But it was- not the boots alone that gave this remarkable woman the ap- pearance of a mountain Minerva. Her superb form, that had never been cramped by stays, if indeed she had over seen such an article, was covered with a faded cotton dress. Instead of concealing, this dress brought out the splendid lines of her bust, and a slit on the right shoulder gave a glimpse that looked like snow in contrast with the ruddy glow of her face. About her waist there was an urmy belt, the re- versed buck.e showing the southern monogram “C, S, A.”” In the belt was a lesther holster containing o heavy re- volver. She wore a straw hat, which now looked like a straw cap, for the rim had been cut off, excepting a piece in front that answered for a visor, and this was thrown up from her forehead with an air that added to her look of fierce defiance. A lean, nervy-looking horse, bearing an old artillery saddle, was hitched near by, and the heavy rawhide with which Sis Ferguson smote her boots while she was talking to her dead lover’s cousin indicated how she had come into our camp. Hudson Burke appeared to be angered and perplexed, and he moved as if anx- ious to be rid of the woman. Catching sight of me he motioned for me to join them, which I was not reluctant to do, for 1 regarded her presence as the clos- ing in the little military lové drama in which I myself had played an important part. “This is Sis Ferguson, as I recon you have heard Tom speuk of,” suid Hudson Burke, by way of introduction, 1 turned and was in the act of reach- ing out my hund to Miss Ferguson, but a curl of the fine upper lip and a dunger- ous glintin the devilish black eyes checked me in the act and made me feel like getting away. “Are you & Yankee Yank?” was Miss Ferguson’s salutation as she glanced me over in a way not ut all flattering to my very considerable vanity. 3 Althongh I had never before heard the expression “‘a Yankee Yank” I was at no loss to divine the woman’s mean- ing. She wanted to know whether | joined the army from a northern or southern state, “I'm o Kentucky Yank,” I replied. “And you knew my Tom Burke?” *1 had that honor.” I replied. “My God! and to think that critters STaYRICTE, SWATER OMPANIES, BT.R.R.COMPANIES, cie.

He’s dead, but hit” was your side that kilt him; most like yor “cousin Champ Ferguson or yout Brother Ed. Shooting out. s savage oath, then striking her liftad boot with u sharp cut. she said: “Hud Burke;utl my folks is on the south side and I’v@ been thar in feelin’, but so long as my Tom wus with the Yanks I didn’t nevah do nothin’ agin ‘em. I thought a powahful sight too much of him fo’ that. I dian’t want to have hit on mfv heart that il anythin’ went wrong with him that I had a hand in hit. But now that he’s done gonc and died hit’ll be different. Yo' mark my words Hud Burke, mt’ll Ve differ- ent.” “You'll jine Champ, mebbe, and help him to 10band murder,” said Hudson Burke. “I’ll jine nobody!” she said, scornfully, and with another cut at her boot. “*Now that Tom Burke's dead, thur ain’t a man in all the mountaing as I'd foller the length of that rawhide gnd. But they’ll foller me, Hud; you mark my words, they’ll foller me, and the Yunks as coaxed him away won't make nothin’ by hit neither. Thar, that’s all I've got to say. Assoon ns my critter’s rested up nhilzl_'llmnku my way back to Rocw Crik.” She cut at the boot again, tossed up the straw visor, gave a hitch to the pis- tol holster, and strode away, with the long stride and easy swing of a young trooper. Au hour afterward I saw the woman coming out of the graveyard, and T re- spected her for u sentiment that seemed 80 foreign to her fierce, masculine char- acter. Aguin the war scene changed, and it was not till peace came again to the mountuins of Kentucky that I learned unything more of *Tom Burke’s Min- erva,” for so I named Sis Ferguson in my journal, Every surviving trooper who served in the Cumberland mountains at any time in 1863, 1864, and early }865 will remember the notorious guerrilla Champ Ferguson, who, though fighting, as he alleged, for the south, never held a com- mission in the southern service, and was quite as ready to rob and murder help- less men in gray as he was to kill and plunder the wounded men in blue. The ¢ uel and monstrous deeds of these mountain Ishmaelites met with the con- demnation of confederates as well as federals. Prominent among thesn outlaws was a man known as *‘Captain’ Evans, and as- sociated with him in his daring crimes was a ‘‘Captain” Jenny.” For a long time the cavalry who were hunting down Evans and Champ Ferguson be- lieved that Captain Jenny, who wus the acknowledged brains of ‘the gang, and who planned their most successful raids into the valleys, was a man, though the union mountaineere declured that Cap- tain Jenny was Jenny Ferguson, knowa to her neighbors and relatives as *'Sis,’ When ['saw Si§ Ferguson at Crub Orchard she certainly gave mo the im- pression that she could never love any man now thut Tom Burke was dead, and she may have remained at heart loyal to him and married another simply as a military necessity, but be thatas it may, cortain it is that she became the wife of “Captain” Evans and accompanied him on his forages, though I am inc'ined to think, unless he was a greater man than his countrymen say, that it wis he who accompanied-her. s After their term of service had ex- pired in the fall of 1864, those members of the First Kentucky cavalry who did not re-enlist roturced to their homes in southeastern Kentucky, but, so fur as Kcuce was concerned, they might as well ave remained at the front. The gangs under. Champ Ferguson, Jenny and Evans grow more daring in their out- rages with the withdrawal of the con- federate and union troops. The Burkes, still very numerous in Wayne and Clinton counties, furnished o great many soldiers, and good ones, too, to the union side. These men, although their neighbors were not ex empt, were singled out ns special ob- jects of attack by the gangs of Champ Ferguson and Evans. Indeed, so per- sistent did these attacks become that it was dangerous for a Burke to sleep in his own house. Of course, the perse- cuted union men retaliated, but it was not till the government furnished them with arms and supplies and they were mustered into the state service that they were enabled to make any head- way. Stung to desporation by the depreda- tions of Captains Byans and Jenny, Hud- son Burke organized a company of twenty men, with James Davis as lieu- tenant and his brothers, James and Benjamin, among the members, and started off to beat the outlaws at their own game. From Jonathan Burke, an uncle and a union man, who lived near the Tennes- see line in Wayne county, Hudson learned that the outlaws were posted in a fortified camp back in the mountains, a tew miles from his place. The Seventh and Ninth Pennsylvania, Fourth Kentucky and Fourth Ohio cavalry had been for months trying to find the outlaws, but although meny were caught and hanged, they never succeeded in striking them in force. This was owing to the fact that Champ Ferguson and his men not only knew every available cow track in the Cum- berland range, but they were kept in- formed by their friends us to the move- ments of the troops. Then they had the additional advantage of Deln§ able to travel without wagons, and they sounded no bugles iu their camps to in- dicate their whereabouts or their pur- pose. # M Hudson Burke 'knew the habits of Ferguson’s gunoi fuite a8 well as if lLe were in their sefspt, and he determined to use their own tactics and beat them at their own game, 1n telling me about this expedition &fyerwards he said: “I'll go as fartn help a woman, if so beshe’s the right gind ofa woman, asany man in the Cumiérland mountains; but if a woman sits g gritter and goes ahout shcolin’ like a ;man, the only way is to Tam seventy.seven years old, e e e eats by he use wenty years by the gsmln 'Specific.

No one'd a- thought ufter the way she uster take on ’bout Tom that she'd ever marry; but all wimmin is mighty strange, and the strangest one that ever did live, [ reckon, was that same Sis Ferguson. What Godamighty ever creates such folks fo’ I can’t nevah make out, but hit must bo that He's got a good rencon.’ Hudson Burke was quite as profanoas his dead cousin had been, but he scemed very much more 0 because he was more voleanic and vehement. After ho had relieved his mind by another volley against Champ Ferguson and his gang, he continued his narrative, which 1 re- vroduce very nearly as hs gave it, I think: *'In our crowd there was, all told, just twenty men, but then they was old soldiers, and every man of *em hud been thar afore. From what we could larn Evans had ‘bout thirty-five, but, cuss ’em, they was every man of 'em robbers and hoss thieves, and I knowed thoy wouldn't show up game when the time come. But to tell you the trath, I felt more skeert of Sls Ferguson then I did of all the rest. ‘‘Hit was just ’bout an hour afoah sun- up, and when thar was gray strenks a-gatherin’ ’bout the mountain tops, that Uncle Jonathan stopped and pointed at a light down in a_littie bit of a valley that wasn't more’n a siit cut inter tho hill. Why, them cegits knowed so littlo ’bout sojerin’, or it may be that they felt 80 dead shuanh that their hidin’ placo couldn’t be found, that they didn't have out no guards nor pickets, **We uns snuked down till the dogs heard us and begun to bark, then I thought hit was ’bout time to let the boys loose. You remembor in the wih that the Fust Kaintuck cavalry was called ‘the wolves, ‘count of our old ker- nal, Frank Wolford, I reckon; und when we uster charge, the boys'd shout out: ‘Wolfl wolfl’ "Wa-al, as'soon as I give tho word, ‘Charge and give ’em merry ole h—, boys!’ they starts up that ole ery of *Wolf!”and upon my soul hit did me a powah of good, and stirred me like u bugle call at feed time. “We uns ran through a right smart bunch of critters a grazin’ at the foot of the valley, and then we came plum upon four log cabins so fixed that a dozen ole soldiers in 'em mou’t a made hit hot for a company if they knowed they wus o comin’ and was prepihed, but them doggone hounds didn’t ’spect nothin’ till they was woke up with that ole freezin’ cry of *Wolf! wolf!’ “I nevah was much at tellin’a story, moah particlah 'bout a fight. A man may be cool as ice, and do jest what he’d orter when the muss is unduh way, but I nevah met a man as wasn’t handy. at lyin’ thut couid tell much about hit arter ‘twas all ovah, and the othah side licked like blazes—or mebbe not. But we uns did overlastingly waken that rowd. 1 swar to heaven' hit does my heart good jest to thiuk of hit. “*Prezners? Not much.. Hit war jes1 aim and pull, as fast us them dogs come out. Only three got away, and they was cotched next day by Captain Brown of the Seventh Pennsylvania and strung up. And that ended the Furguson gung in our part of the state. **Sis? Oh, yes, Captain Jenny! Wa-al, jest as every one said, sha was the head devil and she shot one of our men after she was wounded and her:in man’s clothes; jest think of that, in man’s clothes and spurs on her boots! She'd a done a lot more mischief if I hadn’ta run up and jerked the pistol oughten her hand and flung hit away. he was shot through the breast, but I reckon she’d a pulled through if she’d wanted to. I know that our boys, much as they hated her, couldn’t bring them- selves to hang her. I had her propped up with a saddle at her back, fo’ by this timo it was bright and sunup, and I kinder felt a pity fo’ her, jest ’cause I knowed how much she’d” thought of poor Tom, “ ‘Won’t some of you cussed fouls fotch me some water?’ she sez. Wa-al on the spur every man Jack turned to get somo water. Just then some one yelled, ‘look ouf, Cap!’ and T was jerked be- hind a cabin. I heard a bullet whistling by my head, then there was another crack. What do think hit was? Why, Sis had a pistol in her boot, and when our backs wos turned, she reached down and pulled hiton me. She missed, and the second shot wus fired in her owa head. She was adevil, if ever one wore boots. There's _danger n o cough—moro than Jour ever when Dblood s Tt males casy for nption. But there's a cure for it in Dr. Piore's Golden ~ Medical Discovery. A itive curo—not only for Weak Lungs, Spi ting of Blood, Bronchitis, Asthma and all lingering Coughs, but for Consumption itself in all its carlier stages. It's reasonable. All these diseases depend on tainted blood. Con- sumption is simply Lung-scrofula, And for every form of scrofula and blood-taint, tho “Discovery” is a certain remedy. It's so certain, that its makers guarantee it to beno- it or cure, in overy case, or tho/monoy is re- funded. With o medicino that is certain, this can be done, There's a @ure for Catarrh, too, no matter what you've been led to believe. If thero isn't, in your case, you'll got §500 cash, It's a bona flde offer that's made by tho proprie- tors of Dr. Sago's Catarrh Remedy. They are willing to take the risk—you ought to bo glad to tako the medicine.
