NEWPORT REBELS WITH JOHN MORGAN-Returned prisoners who were captured and paroled by John Morgan, near Bardstown Ky. a few days ago, report that Frank Helm, son of Hubbard Helm, Ben Bigstaff and Geo Washington of Newport, are members of the great guerrilla chief's band.

During a fight between the forces of John H Morgan and General A S Burbridge, the latter's trunk was captured and among the papers which it was filled was a list of "strong Rebel sympathizers" of Newport Kentucky and vicinity who doubtless never realized their narrow escape from imprisonment. The list was sent by Mrs. McArthur Rand of Bellevue Kentucky, whose father was James M McArthur. The report was made by a committee composed of C P Buchanan, Cyrus Campbell, James E Perry, W H Thomas, William Kennett, Thomas Daniels, Oliver Stanley, J M Caldwell, and William Caldwell.
