He shouted at him when Davis broke into a run north, shouting for some one to halt and shooting three times more in rapid succession. When overtaken by Mr. Smith he was very much exci ted and declared some one else had fired the first two shots at him.

Fletcher's wound was but slight, and was dres sed by Dr. Patton, but it was a close call for him, for one-half inch to the lett would haye gone directly through his head.
