man fell p. the ground as If shot dead,
and was hft iving in g heap as tho

out Of his vest po.-ket, and struck tho
man just over the heart, where It was;
topped by a songl.ook In his shirt

quartera of an hour, age it was a full

At Rrandy Station one of Ouster's
troopers had his left stirrup atrnp cut
away by a grape shot, which passed

he bent over, a bullet knocked his hat

In the same light a trooper had snf-

a hand-to-hand conflict he received a
pistol ball in right hook. It knocked
out his aching- tooth, and passed out
through the left corner of his mouth,

Error Always a Harm.
To free a tran from error Is to giro,

does harm; sooner or later It will
bring mischief to the man who har
