Hu - Approral Home Fact Sworn to.
Hm Since the Pacific Hallway invosHRation
HraL closed speculation, has been rifo in Wall street
Wj M to what tho Commissioners would sny and
i'' recommend In thoir report. Just now rn-
a' mora ore particularly persistent in tho great
Hjf money mart.
It is said in tho street that thero will ho
H'S two reports. Ono of them, by ei.Gov. Pattl-
Rpt Pon, will arraien tho wholo raciflo railway
HpV yetem, and no mercy will be shown for any
Bf pno.
W'. The report of Messrs. Littler, llcpnblicnn,
Hk and Anderson, Democrat, will bo just as hard
HPf n Jay Gould, Russell Sago and tho rest of
Ejj tfio speculators who cried Kansas I'aciflo
H& and Denver raciflo down to 7ero, liouqht all
Ct tho stock they could and tho next day ex-
'' changed lt'with their own managers for equal
R shares of the valuablo Union racilic stork.
K But it is eonerally believed that both ro-
Kj ports will agree upon ono point, and that is
K " that Messrs. Gould andtSaco havo obtained a
Mt Ttst sum of money tho figure is usually
Ki. put at 810,000,000 by a big fraud, of which
HLffc the Union raciflo was"" tho apparent victim.
HkW but the United States tho real sufferer, and
Hjf- that the Union PaciHo will bo nutliorizod to
Bi brine' suit in tho name of tho Attorney.
HP1,: General of tho United States to recover the
Hfcl i amount named from Gould and Hago.
B3,' It will be recalled how Gould and Sago
P-. testified before the Commission. Gould re.
K? Jated tho story of tho Kansas I'aciflo deal and
Ht' tho appropriation of the Kansas I'aciflo trcas.

E& The Union I'aciflo was mado to pay tho

p worthless and worse
Kjt They obtained tho signaturo of n Now York

Kjt vor Pacific heenrities wore of no value, and
Hp that the Kausas Puoifio roust sell them iinuio
BrV' ' x diatoly for what they would bring.
H They obeyed, and tho millionaire, managers
R of Kansas Pacific sold the securities to tlicm-
jy selves. Then by another sleight-of-hand per-
KK formance theso scrnritics wcro made worth
K. millions, though tho Union I'aciflo and tho
Hy- Kansas Pacific woro uiulcted.
K All of thoso facts, jt is said, nro agreed npon

y efoners Littler and Anderson, reasoning on
Hl the fact that ut present the Union Pacific is
B in the hands of innocent purchasurs Charles
Francis Adams and tho rest Bay that it would
Ht bo unjust to censnro tho road.
E. But all agree that Gould, Sago, lTuntlnc-
K ton and tho others who amassed millions
m' from Union Pacific and its Government

K gorge, and it is said that Gov. Patti-

Ktf For the purposo of ascertaining tho dan.
H Cers attendant upon navigation by reason of
K tho drifting logs whioh composed the monster
H raft which went to plccos directly in tho
Hf) .track of incoming transatlantic steamers last
H.' Week, a Wobld reporter interviewed sovoral
Hif of the officers of theso vessels.
B Gapt. Bently, of the Guion lino stoamship
H' "Wisconsin, was not on board, but First
Kf Officer Edwin Fairfield, who has mado 187
Kr voyages across the Atlantic elghty.fi vo of
HV which woro mado in his present ship, was
Hvl aboard, and he bald that ho did not liko tho
Kl idea of encountering so many logs.
Ej True, tho remnants of tho raft woro found
M'J about eighty miles south of tho route of out.
K- word bound vessels, but thoro would bo no
K doubt that they would get into tho Gulf
K$ Stream and perhaps break a few propellers.
BL- He thought that Capt. McCalla'n btatomont
k that tho wash from tho stern of an incoming
V- ship wonld throw a log away from a vessel,
K, was correct. Ho had seen many floating
H'i- spars disposed of in that way.
H Second Officer Lewis thought that thero
KJ 'would be little danger unless it bo that a
great number of the logs got entauglod in a
B field of thin ice, when they would be just as
dangerous, to his mind, as in tho original
HsKf xait
a The Wisconsin sails to-day and may en.
K counter somo of Mr. Leary's timber.
K' The Anchor line stcamsliip Furncssia was
v towed to her dock from tho lowor bay this
MH morning. Capt. Hodderwick said :
E'H. " We did not encounter a singlo log of that
C'HS raft, although wo kept a sharp lookout for it
t'F' and passod the spot where it was cubt adrift

KB " I suppose that it is getting ready to tako

HR Capt. Murphy had not heard of tho raft,

Hfr be said j "It'll be an infernal nuisance,
PK; and raise the devil with propellers, par.
BjHrf ticularly if a vessel encounters a few
JHr logs chained together. They may say that

DEADLY FEUD IN MISSOURI
Ten Men Held to Iluvn Horn KIllcd-Troops
Appenled I'or.
Ozark, Wo,, Dec. Si Col Almus Btone, of
this city, returned from mono County yesterday
and says that a deadly warfare la raging near
Ualcnu In that county. Voty little In known of the
story ut the feud, but It seems that Ihe Terry
brothers, live In' number, llvlug near .Maybury'a
Ferry, on the hlte ltivur, havo for years dotted
the law aud Intimidated tbo community. Thuy
have been charged with various crimes. Including
horto-atoallng, and nnally a vlgllanco coinmltteo
was organlzod to drlvo them out or the county.
Tho Terrya, with their Inends.oterawo I the lead
era of the "regulating "movement nud tho out
Ian a held their ground. Iwo weeks ago ono of
tho Terrys was shot from ambnsh and killed. Hoou
after this one Weeks, a member of tho antl.lerry
faction, was shot to pieces by unknown assassins.
A few days after tho death of Weeks, (iarrei, a
friend of the Terrys, waa fired upon by Uraut Wag
ner and Wm. Ambrose, who had secreted them
Belves behind a tree. Amhrosowas armed with a
double-barrelled breoch-loadlug shotgun and Wag.
ner with a repealing Winchester title. Uarret
carried a Winchester rifle, and when fired upon by
tho aaaaaslns Jumped from his horso and look a
position behind a tree ami about forty-flvo yards
from Ambroso snd Wagner.
Tho light which ensued lasted about fifteen min
utes, during which Umo over twenty shots were
exchanged. Wagner received two mortal wounds
aud his ally (Ambrose) fled, leaving Uarrot master
of the field. About this tltno Frank Ambrose, a
brother of William, who had heard the shooting,
came upon tno scone armed with a revolver and
opened Sro on Garret, killing him at the second
shot, und rooclvlng himself a mortal wound. Am
brose then took nls wounded brother homo, the
latter dying In a few hours. It Is said that ten men
have been killed In tho neighborhood and that no

Tbo South Minneapolis citizens who patronize
tho lllverslde acnuo car lino aro still feeling very
gleeful over the v, ay they brought tho street rail
way company to tlmo and forced them to put con
ductors back on tho Hue after they had taken them
on, 'lhcy point with prulo to the fact that they
once boat fl Millionaire Tom Lowry," as they call
him, after the City Council had failed to bring him
upwlthaannp, us It tried to do. After the com
pany had issued the order to lay on tbe conduc
tors tho patrons of the line pleaded with tho com.
puny to rescind tbe order, but with no effect.
Then a tchruin was Inaugurated to compel them to
do what they had before refused to do. Tho prime
mover In tho acneine was Peter Pan), a South Bide
carpenter. He got Into a car one night, being the
only paatenger at the time. Tho driver rang the
register, tut Paul sat motionless In his seat. The
car went some distance, aud the driver glanced
back e cry second or two ut the change-box to lo
cate the pataonger's nickel. It failed to snow up.
Finally he opened the door and said: "Ulster,
you1" e forgot to pay your fare. "
1 1 "No, 1 havenv' said Paul.
"Why don't yuu put It la the box then V de
manitod the driver augrlly,
l don't have to; here's a nickel for the fare: If
you want It come and get It."
"You know I can't do that," said the driver.
"Ita agin the rules."
"Then you don't get It," calmly replied Paul.
" You'll either pay, get oft the car or I'll have
you arrested. "'
" do on," was the reply.
At this moment a policeman hove In sight and
tbe driver halloed to him. Tno driver explained.
"Throw him on tho car and I'll attend to him."
said the officer. "I can't touch him there."
The dm cr drove on In dlsguat without his nickel
In a day or two Paul's feat had been noled all over
that pflrt of town. An organized plan followed. It
was a nightly occurrence for twenty or twcnly-nve
houth Minneapolis cltizcna to get on a car aud to
rofutotopay. 'Ibo result was that a day or two
later conductors wero a feature on that lino again.
And that was how the Houth Bide citizens brought

WlBIIINOTOKi Dec J7.
To-day ticro are clghty-nlno rosea In the wreath
of years worn by Mr. W. W. Corcoran, thclnoted
philanthropist ot thin rlty, and the event Is being
very quietly celebrated owlnz to Mr. Corcoran'
enfeebled state of health. He his not fully re
covered from hi Illness of Sunday, but Is cheerf nl,
and will, undoubtedly, be as well as usual ln a few
days.
Mr. Corcoran received numerous costly presents
and great quantities of flowers. Us waa particu
larly pleased with a handsome floral piece from tbe
White House and some choice exotics sent by Mr.
Joseph rulltzer, of New York.
Yesterday I called upon him ln his library. An
American carle, life gift of one of his friends,
looted down from the top of ono of the book-caaes
ns he talked, and raro old portraits, curious carv
ings and mementos of persons and travel met the
eye at every turn. Beside the eagle wis a framed
photograph of Mrs. Cleveland, presented by her to
Mr. Corcoran, and above this was an oll-palntlog
of hit old friend, George Feabody, who Is perhap
his only rival ln tho world's history of money-making
and philanthropy. A little fnrther on Is a por
trait of Humboldt, and on another case stands a
hron70stAtuctteof Frederick William of I'ruasta.
Mr. Corcoran dined with this King In 1815, In com
pany with Von Humboldt, and ho bought this
statuette the day before he left Berlin.
The statuette of Daniel Webster near this repre
sents one of tho dearest friends of his life and Wob-ajj;-
Iter penned the last letter
f n eTer wrote to Mr.
Wat'. J Ml Corcoran. In one of his
1(7(7 at yfij speeches he sild that Cor
JjfeJ ijf ooran, ahove all tho men
Tjr' ho ovor knew, had done
--a&Z ) his duty, and It was ln
J789y I thls very house that Web
V fp v at" "ved when he was
I" J ' Secretary of State,
w. w. coitcoiuif. It waa bought for
him by his Boston friends, and when Web
ster left tbo Cabinet he found that be could
not afford to keep up so expensive an estab
lishment and Mr. Corcoran became Its owner. He
also becamo Daniel Webster's banker, anil though
the Information does not come from blm, I am told
that Webster went to Corcoran whenever he was
In need of money and that his notes were alwjjs
cashed. Ashe grew older his debts became greater,
and one day, after Webster had mado his extraor
dinary speech on tho Missouri Compromise In the
Senate, Mr. Webster received a package of papers
from Mr. Corcoran containing tho cancellation of
all his Indebtedness to blm. Tho Corcoran man
sion Is grander now than It was when WehBtcr dined
ami wined the diplomats within It. Wings have
been added to It and It bas been so changed that It
appears more like tho country homo of some French
nobleman and It la ono of the most beautiful pri
vate honsis ln the United States. Facing Lafayette
Square, It Is Just opposite the White Uooso, and Its
material la of red pressed brick and brown atone.

yard, and Its walled gardens comprtso nearly a
block of the most vuluubio ground of the capital.
Its style Is that of tho Italian ltcnatssancc, and tt Is
rich, but not gnudy, and both exterior and In
terior show exquisite taste. Brown-stouo steps
lead to a wide front door and a pull at tho silver
bell brings a servant to tno visitor. Tho en.
trance hall produces an effect upon you
like that of an Italian palace, with Ita
wide white pillars, and tho vlttu which
you get from the north corridor and the
grand salon at ihe left, Mnlshcd In white and gold,
reminds yon ot tne rooms of Fontalncble iu or Ver
sailles. Tula room UBed to be the plctnre gallery,
and a few flue, paintings still remain upon lis walls.
Its ceiling la 87 feet high and It Is about three times
the lenath of an ordluary parlor, or 44 feel, aud It
Is 23 feet wide. An antique oablnet stands against
the wall, Its Inner doors panelled with gems from
the old masters. Mirrors reflect the satin-covered
furniture from different sides ot tho room, and
there is an air of quiet comfort pervading the whole
which you do not dndln rich men's houses whore
less taate is displayed. At the right there Is a par
lor with a eel. lug fourteen feet high, aud this room
Is equally well furnished. Its windows look out
upon the White House, and I caught a glimpse of
Mllla's statuo of Jacktou through them a I posted
on to Mr. Corcoran' library.
U1S srLEKDlD UMURT.
ThU library Is finished ln natural wood and I bo
papered that It appears to be walled with old Eng
lish oak. Old oat chairs and aofas aro cosily scat
tered aoout it. An oak desk eotered with Christ
mas presents stands iu the centre and richly carved
oak bookcases Hue tho walls. Tho library celling
Is twenty-eight feet high and Its ltul light comes
from the glass ln the vaulted roof. '1 ho window
are ot stained glass and tho fnrnlturo waa made In
1'arK 1 ho rich oak mantel, which reaohe to the
ceiling, has carved figures which would honor tho
great cathedral at Antwerp, aud thla mantel alone
cost 12,000, u baa figure representing History
and a Hungarian huuter on each side of Its
mirror, and ihu round clock, which stand over the
fireplace, 1 set Into Its centre.
The bookcases are full of rare volumes ot the
classics of all lauguagea. lhcy are chiefly English
editions aud they oomprlto over Ave thou, and vol
ume. Tho most valuable books among them,
howover, are tho bound private letter of Mr. Cor
coran. There are fonrteen ot these and they are
great fat tomes, each of which Is nearly the size of
a dictionary. These contalu letters from Woester,
Cluy, Calhoun. Fillmore, Tyler, Buchanan, Amoa
Kendall and other ujted men of our past history,
and with these are hound letters from tho moat
note l scientists and litterateurs. There are many
private letter from Von Humboldt among them,
and they comprise a correspondence whloh will
make a fortune for Mr. Corcoran' biographer. He
hat been during two-thirds of a century on the
most Intimate terms with Presidents, Senators,
foreign Ministers and others, and there are few
noted men wno have come to America whom he
haa uot know u well. He values tnose letters above
money, and he has, I understand, published a
uumber of them ln connection with some reminis
cences, and these be will give at bis death to bis
grandchildren. Only three hundred copies have
been printed, and they are scaled up and locked
away until that time. lie calls it a grandfather's
legacy to nis grauucniiuron, ami ma secretary, jur.
Hyde, tolls me that bis own recollection oomprlae
oo pages of most Interesting matter.
A I.OBLI CHIkU,
I don't think Mr. Corcoran has ever cared for
money for money's sake, and I cannot better sum
up bis life than In tho quotation of hi dedication

Courtcney, tho Earl of Devonshire;
'What wa gavo we have,

Mr. Corcoran uttered theso words ln strong chest
tones, and his dark blno eye shouo with Intellect,
ual vigor as they looked Into mine.
a rr.N ricrcRB.
What a wonderful man bu lxl
Tall, straight and broad-shouldered, In adecado
more ho will h ive outlived three generations of
men, ami hla mind Is to-day as clear as tbe waters
of tne Fountain of Perpetual Youth, whlcn ho
seems to have sipped. Ills body, barring his slight
paralytic stroke, works as well as when, years ago,
he waa one of the beat horseback riders In the Ds
trtct of Columbia. Hit digestion does not tronblo
blm and ho sleeps like a plough-boy. He enjoys
his old age, and he tells mo that ho attributes his
good health to a long life of temperance aud to the
fact that his good constitution has never been In
jured by excesses of unv orl. I p to lat summer he
had not known a sick Uiy, and though his hair Is
Ilka strands of silver his fnco shows few wrinkles.
IIo has a remarkable heal.
Large, full-featured and handsome, Its forehead
Is broad, high and Intellectual. Its nose Is straight
and tbe mouth is Arm, but pleasant. Ills Jaw is as
strong as that of Sam ltaudall, but It Is tuoro clean
in Its cut, and the lines at out It are more gentle.
Mr. Corcoran's uiustachu Is of frosted silver, and
his features show all the signs of cultnrc. Ho
dresses In exquisite taato, and thero Is no belter
picture of the fashionable gentleman of to-day.
His clothes are of the finest material and the latest
cut, though there Is nothing snobbish or striking
about them, und his only ornumeut is tho corul
piu la bis dark necktie.
TIIK CORCORAN ART GAU.EHT.
Born In Georgetown, his father was Miyorof
that vlllugo when Washington had no existence,
and Mr. corcor.in holds among his valued posscs
tilons to-day tho house In w ilch ho first saw light,
and In his will ho has expressed a desire that the
old homo be kept Iu tho lumlly. He started bust,
uexslifo very young, having nud a tasto of classical
education aud a short term at tho Georgetown Col
lege. At sixteen years oi ago, when his father had
been appointed by President Madison Poatmnster
of Georgetown, no left achool, contrary to his
father'a wleocs, and went Into the drv-goods store
of his brothers, James und I nomas Corcoran. His
ability became so apparent that they established
blm two years later lu a atoro ot his own, and ho
succeeded woil until tho panlo ot ltsa, when on
ono day JUS, 000 of hla bills receivable went
to protest. 'Ihe result was no failed. Ho
was at this time twenty-tlvo years of age,
und he compromised with somu of his creditors at
to per cent, , and from others received a discharge
In full. In 1B47, however, he hud mado a second
fortune, and ho then computed the Interest due
from himself and bis brothers to each of these
creditors, and, adding this to tho principal, he paid
the sum la full, which waa then more than double
the original amount. From dry goods he went to
banking, brat us an employee und afterwards as
p irtner, aud for years the firm of Corcorau & Itlgga
Mood as high here us that ot the Holhschllds in
London. He took charge ot the Mexican loans
wneu no one dec would handle them, aud placed a
part of them ln six of the wealthiest houses In Lon
don. He bought United Mates securles himself and
made a fortune out of their rlso when the Now
York bankers predicted that tho country was going
to ruin. He has dealt largely lu real estate, and
his secretary, Mr. Hyde, tells me that he can do
buBlncs as well to-day us at any period of his Hie,
and that one of his characteristic!) Is tho having of
an Imtncduto answer to any proposition, busluc-a
or otherwise, und ot knowing his own mlud and
saying It.
lu IBM the firm of Corcoran A Itlggs was dis
solved, aud ut this tlmo Mr. Corcorau retired from
uctlve bualuoss. During the last gcncrution he lias
only attended to his own fortune, to the cultivation
of nls mind and to tho disposition of hit millions to
charity.
I asked him to-dav whether ho thought the
ohancts for making a fortune were as good now as
when be v as yuuug. He replied:
"'1 hey are better, 'ihe world offers everything
to men uf brains, honesty und Industry, aud tho
young man of this charucicr never hud such oppor
tunities u lie has now. If yuu asked my auvlco,
however, to young men, I would urgo them to go
West to tho new States and Territories, for no
prophet Is without honor save ln his own country,
und tbe yonng man la shackled by being the son of
his father, no matter how great his father may
havo becu. I say this notwithstanding tho fact
tbat I wat born within a mile of w hero I now live,
and that such success as 1 have made ha been
under different conditions. "
"How many Presidents, Mr. Corcoran, canyon
remember?"
T11K PRESIDENTS US UA3 KNOWN.
' I have known all tho Presidents since Wash
ington. 1 was bom, you know, tbo year before
Washington died, and I saw Jefferson while he wub
lu the White House. His business agent, Mr.Johti
Barnes, rci,blcd at Georgetown, uud Presldeut
Jcllersnn often rodo over to sco blm. Ho sat hi
fiery borae well, and ho would gallop up tbe street
and throw the bridle over the post In front of tho
store. 1 afterwards visited htm at Montlcello and
becsmo somewhat ucqualuted with his great ability.
I saw John Adams at his homo ln IJulnoy, Mass.
I remember ho was lying on the louuge wheu I
came In. Ho gave me hla hand and, durlug my
chat with him, I found bis mlud bright and clear.
He referred to hi old age and, pointing to his
weakened body, said: ' My physical house Is out
'ot orucrand tho landlord he warne I mo that he
will make no further repairs. ' President Madison I
knew well during his Presidency and 1 have vitltrd
htm at Monti cller. Dolly Madison and myself wero
acquainted fur years, an I John t'ulncy Adams did
hi. banking business with me. As lor such young
men as Polk, 1'ierco and Buchanan, I of course
knew them, and during the tour I took through
Europe, In 18M, President Fllmore was with inc. "
And so Mr. Corcoran wtut on, aud his whole
talk of the afternoon seemed baaed on tho piln
clpleof "Malice toward none and charity lor all. "
He seemed at ptace with all tne.world, and ho has
one of the kluuett hearts tbat ever ruled a human
bouI. Heisthegreatcat giver iu the world to-day,
and his enefactlons aro more profuse as the years
goon. The demands upon mm, however, would
est up a fortune, bigger than the surplus In the
Treasury, and Mr. Hyde, his secretary, tells me
that the doctors havo forbidden him to sec hla beg
ging letters, Mr. Corcorau'a private sccreiary has
grown old In his service. Ills hair 1 at whtto as
that of his chief, and bo has attended to hi
employer's business for forty year. He tells me
that the letters now In by tbo hundred a week, and
that tbe major part of them never go further than
tho waste-basket. If Mr. Corcoran sees them he Is
kept awake at night by their ttorlea of woe, and
they have Increased soot lato years that It 1 Impos
sible to answer manr of them.
TUE CALLS MAUK ITOS tftX.
Among those received within tho last few days la
one from a yonng Englishman who wauted f .',000
to make up a mortage ln Ills account with his em
ployer, an I another Is from a Frenchman, who
coolly aaked 6,000 francs by tcturu mail. A
Virginia girl incloted a slip of silk and requested
thut Mr. Corcorau send u urets-pattern like it for a
ball whloh waa to tuko place next week, and a
Delaware woman, who staled that an huihand Is
worth t&o,lU, wants Mr, Corcoran to give her
enough to make her Independent, to that she can
draw cheeka without bothering her husband. Sho
say she will to glad totiavo Mr. Corcoiancomo
aud visit her at her homo during the peach season
and enjoy her fruit. Another lady laconically
says, "I want a barrel of mesa pork und 1 want
you to send It to me." This letter amused Mr.
Corcoran, and ho sent Ihe pork as requested. The
rcauit was that the next mail brought a request for
another barrel. And so It goes on.
It will be easily seen that It tslmpoMiole to supply
such demands, and that any fortune, how ever large,
would soon bo dlsdpated by them.

AN OUTLAWS RUSE.
Newt Vorce'a Desperate Btrntegem Which
Cost a Wlieep-Herder Ills Life.
IFrom fAt Dtnrcr Jfrpult'ean.
r. A. Say ward, one of tho big cattlemen of tho
Beer Trail country, came Into tho city last night
on the y o'clock train, and told of the ahootlng
whloh had occurred at Itoblnson'a sheep ranch yes
terday mornlug. IIo said that Wlloy Adams, James
Adams and a man by tno name of McJohnson got
onto Vorce'a trail on Saturday night, and finally
located him In a little dugout where tho herders
' ' batched." In a corral less than a hundred yarda
from the dugout his horso was standing saddled
and bridled and ready for Instant use. Tbe throe
men who were afterVorce toot up a position oe
hlnd a sheep-corral and patiently waited for the
desperado to make his appearanco. Tbe boors
Woro slowly away, and not till dawn was there
any sign of life about the place. At that time,
howover, a Bhcop-herder opened tho door of the
littlo dugout or cablu and carried some feed to tho
horse, ltetornlng to tho cabin again, everything
was tiulet for a time. The guards naturally sup
posed that within a fow minutes Vorce would ap
pear, and, while they were talklnir the matter over
lu hushed tones, the door ouce more opened, and a
man attired exactly lu the co-itumo usually worn
by tho desperado, even to the broad sombrero,
made a rush for tho horse. A second later the
crash of three rifles rang out and tbe man fell
dead.
It was not until nttor thoy had fired that they
saw another man runulng to a littlo dugout used as
iv stable, and where three horses wero tied. He
bad a rltle lu his hand, and ther were amazed to
rocognizo Vorce, and only then to realize that tbat
they had shot tho wrong man. As one of their
number was stcpplnz out to see where the dead
man lay, a bullet Bped by him and he beat a hasty
relrett. Tho men then held a Bhort conlhltailon.
Tmre was no denying tso fact that Vorce had tho
better of them at mat time. It was dangerous for
them to show their hoads, but still they were re
solved tbat they would not give the desperado up
now that ho was almost within their grasp. They
must bae help, but how to get tt was tbe question.
None of them cared to take tho chances of a run of
fully a quarter of a mile across tbo open country
before ihey would bo out ot range of vorce'a rifle.
It was finally dccldtd thut they should draw cuta to
nee who should go for assistance This was done
and It fell to MoJohnon. He left a few parting
vtordawlth his companions, tightens I his belt
about hut waist and then fled like the wind. Vorce
was evidently expecting some move ot this kind,
for when UlcJohiison nas well away from shelter
he began pumping tbe lead after blm. Tho two
Adamses then opened a fusillade on the dugout,
but they could not draw any shots away from
McJohnson. The ballets struck all about him, but
fortunately he escaped.
He went Immediately to Seer Trail and tele
graphed lor assistance.
