he received not only stated the point of
concealment but also told how the
officer should go in order to find it.

with the revenue service, started early

several guns rang out and Mh
Mather fell lifeless. Twelve bucksho*'

men in the party who fled have not
been ascertained.

and had unimpeachable records for
efficiency.
