The battle occurred in a. mountain fastness of North Georgia. 12 miles northwest of Young Harris With Curtis at the time of the fight was John Tolbert, who had been employed by Curtis and Henry Penland, another deputy United States marshal, of Ellijay, to -guide them to the rendezvous of Tom Henderson, and old man and an alleged moonshiner, for the arrest of whom the officers carried a warrant. Tolbert was omirmed, and was compelled to ft&nd by whHe his lone compan¬ ion fought the alleged outlaws unaided, Penland and Curtis hav¬ ing previously been separated by the mountain gang through a ruse The mau killed is known to have been a son of Henderson, and it is thought his wounded companion i» his brother although the officers are not sure as to that. Both men were shot in the abdo Following the shooting* Curtis and Tolbert fled from the scene through a hail of bullets, joined Penland 2 miles further on the road /whither be had previously u decoyed, and the three went Youffg Harris4 w Thursday nigflWRSHI® ay morning all three left Young Harris, the two deputy marshals returning to Atlanta, arriving Friday night, and Tolbert head¬ ing for his home, Dahlonega At a late hour Friday night he had not arrived, and the local United States marshal's office was greatly apprehensive as to officers ran high following the fight, and threats of revenge wete made broadcast throughout the mountain region According to Curtis’ and Pen land's account of the fight, borne out as far as possible by their chief United States Marshal Thompson, the Henderson gang, knowing the officers were enroute to arrest the old man,formulated a plot to kill them The two officers hired a surrey for the trip into the vicinity of Henderson’s alleged still Thurs¬ day, morning, and employed Tol¬ bert, a Dahlonega liveryman, to drive them as far as Blairsville. There they were to release Tol¬ bert and hire a Blairsville livery¬ man, Jim Butt, who is familiar with the country, to drive them the remainder of the way. How¬ ever, Butt refused to go, as he and other citizens of the town had heard threats against the officers. Tolbert agreed to continue in charge of the team. At a point near the subsequent fight, one of Henderson’s sons met the party on the mountain road,and agreed, if one of the officers .would go with him, to pilot him to his fa¬ ther’s house in the woods. AH couldn’t go,because the rig would not carry them. So Penland and young Henderson drove off, leav¬ ing Curtis and Tolbert to await them by the road side About two miles further on the road, young Henderson left Pen land in the rig, saying he would return in a few minutes with his father, and all would go peace¬ fully and well After waiting for about a n Consolidated Jan. 1st 1916.
