" said the Lient to Quantrell. The Reckless and daring man given his worst scare at Danville, Ky Current stories regarding the career of Quantrell, the noted guerilla who harassed the union soldier, have resulted in bringing to light the fact, that his most thrilling and probaly his most narrow escape from death occurred in Danville. Quantrell made but one excursion through this part of Kentucky, but it was a bold dash and he left a trail of blood behind him,more than one federal soldier or sympathizer being found with the Quantrell mark-- the bullet hole in the forehead just between the eyebrows. On the day of Quantrell"s close call he had arrived in Danville from Hustonville, Lincoln County. At Hustonville he had halted to lay in a fresh stock of horseflesh, and there some of his band had murdered a union officer. A woman who had been at Hustonville preceded the guerillas to Danville, and when Quantrell reached the city, she recognized him and spoke to him, calling him by name. Quantrell simply smiled and said to her: "Why , madam, you were never more mistaken in your life. I am Capt.---of the Federal Army." Quantrell and all of his men were attired in Federal uniforms, and were posing as federal scouts. They halted in Danville, and as federal soilders were in the habit of passing in and out of towns in small squads, no particular attention was paid to the guerrillas untill they had been in town five or six hours. The woman who had accosted Quantrell upon his arrival beleived he had deceived her, and she told a young federal lieutenant then in town, what she thought about the men who had arrived that morning. Quantrell and his men were going about town pretty much as they pleased , lounging around the hotels and salons, feeling perfect security. The lieutenant, from the description furnished by the woman and from what he had heard of Quantrell was convinced that the fine looking fellow masqueradling in federal clothing was none other than the guerrilla and determined to kill or capture him. The lieutenant procured a carbine and started upon a hunt for this man. He finally caught sight of him walking down the main street of the town, Quantrell was alone. He walked the length of several squares down one side of the street and started up the other side, the lieutenant with the carbine in his wake all the time, waiting for an opportunity to corner his man. About the middle of the main square Quantrell entered a saloon, and called for a drink. Just as Quantrell reached over the bar railing to take up a glass, he glanced into the big mirror against the wall and noticed the federal lieutenant entering with carbine ready to fire.Quantrell very cooly set the glass down, turned about and faced his pursurer. The carbine had by this time been brought to the lieutenant"s shoulder, its muzzle was within three feet of the guerrilla"s breast, and the eye which looked down the shining barrel was keen and cool. Quantrell dared not make a false move, and he was powerless to protect himself by force. His heavy overcoat was buttoned up to his chin, making the pistols at his waist useless. He gazed at the lieutenant, very complacently for a brief period, smiled and said, " How now, comrade, what are you going to do with that gun?" " Shoot you like a dog if you move a muscle, " was the reply. " You aree Quantrell. You have played it for a long time, but now you are my prisoner, march into that room over there." Quantrell glanced to an open door at the end of the bar, but didn"t obey the command. It was not his intention to do so. His nerve was superb and his self possession complete. "Ah, I see, he remarked quietly, " You take me for Quantrell, but you are wrong I assure you. My resemblance to that scoundrel has been most provoking. Permit me to call my orderly sergeant and I will show you that I am as true to the union as you are. He has my papers. The lieutenant looked surprised as well as somewhat confused, and Quantrell noticed his discomfort. This was a signal for the deception to be redoubled, and so he continued. " I have also heard about the guerrilla being in this section. to my certain knowledge he is not in Kentucky, and you are simply making a fool of yourself. Put down your gun and as long as we are in the same cause let us be friends. The lieutenant was completely nonplused at Quantrell"s cool effrontry and considerably abashed told him to call his orderly, but kept the carbine ready to fire. On the street not far away Quantrell saw some of his men talking and he called to one of them to enter. The man went into the saloon and as soon as he saw his chief covered with a carbine drew a heavy weapon. "Stop," shouted Quantrell. " Not so fast. Put up your pistol. Our friend here has heard that I am Quantrell. It"s amusing. Show him our papers from the secretary of war. In order that this embarrassment may be removed. " All right, captain," was the reply, the man began feeling in an inside pocket for the papers, still holding his revolver, how ever in his right hand. He approached the lieutenant as he started to withdraw his hand from his coat, but instead of bringing out the papers he suddenly and with the ferocity of a wildcat, sprang upon the young federal, felled him to the floor and held him fast, with the muzzle of his gun against his head, as he cried. "These are the papers you are looking for. We always have them on hand for such as you. Must I give him the old mark Captain?" "No, let the gentleman up, " replied Quantrell. The lieutenant arose and was disarmed, and expressed himself as very well satisfied with the papers. Then the trio took a drink together. As Quantrell and the lieutenant continued the conversation the other guerrilla quietly slipped out, passed the word, and in ten minutes more Quantrell's horse was standing in front of the bar-room ready for him to mount. He shook hands with the man who had given him the worst scare of his life, left the saloon and rode away. Before the lieutenant could collect his thought Quantrell and his band were far on their road to Louisville. ______________________________X-Message: #5 Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2000 16:02:07 -0700 From: W.
