marched to Metropolis, released their friends, and
took several of the opposing party prisoners, who,

wife, after his arrest, fought like tiger tor his
rescue. She seized hold of the gun of one OF
the Regulators and attempted to wrest it from
him, and was about succeeding when the gun
accidentally or by design, went off and the whole
charge entered her thigh, making horrible
wound. Reckless of the wound, she rushed up
on her opponent, and again attempted to dlsarn
him, when he struck her terrible blow on the
head with his gun. She fell, and died soon ai.
