Some fifty shots were fired, and one man. was sliohtly wounded in the hand. Another report says two men were killed. T'ifty mounted and armed men are leaving her for McNeill. It is said there were fifteen in the party. They first raptured the operator before the arrival of the train, and as soon as the train drew in they boarded it, attacking the onoineer and express messenger The express was robbed, but the amount taken was not ascertained.

crime and liis two punishments, oneby tlic inoli ami the other by llie|,||law, Ihikersaid: ul mler all thecircumstances my erinie was notmurder, any way. I had become j,involved in a ouarrel between I n alrnh and his wife and, loo isli as thaiwas, it would liavo led to nolhiiiirmore if I uruli had not attacked me. |,I had to kill liiin or be killed. The w
woman swore auainst me in order toJsave herself. She was seared to j
death because they lynched me, andshe was afraid that unless somebody ,j 11swune* for the crime she mioht be j|called on some dark nio'lit. Ibit stwhether my crime was dclibeatcmurder or not, I think I have beenpunished enough. It is more than a
year since the mob lynched me andsince that time i have lived with a
rope iinf!i"vl my neck all the time. , |As I have fcu d to you, my sulTerinoswhen I was beine* resuscitated wereorealer than tliey wore when I washaiioine1. It took me three monthsto ifet over the elfects of the Ivnehr' I
"ino. Two or three times a day my jbrain would be in a whirl and I olwould lose ail control of myself, diThen when I slept I would on "
thronifh it all aoain. At lenotli, ^when I was brought to trial and s«was eonvieted and sentenced to fideath I had the rope once more be- ^fore me.
