Captain Forrest preceded the rest of his company some sixty paces with ten picked men. When within two miles of Court Square, the sharp challenge of the picket, "Who comes there?" was suddenly heard to break the stillness of the morning hour, also the Con- federate Captain's cool and prompt reply: "A detach- ment of the Twelfth Missouri Cavalry* with rebel pris- oners. " The customary rejoinder quickly followed, "Advance one. " Captain Forrest rode forward in person, having pre- viously, in a l...ow tone, directed his men to move slowly but closely behind him. As soon as he was in reach of the unsuspecting picket, mounted, in the middle of the highway, the Confederate officer felled his adversary to the ground by one blow with his heavy revolver, while, at the same instant, his men sprang forward and cap- tured the picket-post of some ten or twelve men — dis- mounted at the moment — a few paces rearward, to the left of the highway, without any noise or tumult, except the discharge of a single gun, which, with no little anx- iety, was heard by General Forrest, who was moving with the head of the main column only about one hun- dred yards rearward.
