killing Captain Simpaon. Nothing was
seen ot hint, however, until about 6:34
that afternoon. While riding on hia horse
on his way home, and while going up the
narrow road near Gunn'a place, his horse
shied. On looking around to see the
cause, he saw Jim's head through
the oak brush taking aim with
a double-barreled shotgun. Jim fired at
that moment, and at the same time the
horse plunged, thc load of squirrel shot
taking cflect in the horse's neck.
Captain Bimpson immediately threw his
hand behind him for his pistol. Like a
Hash he remembered that ne had left it

broke the girth and cansed the Captain to
