feet of skinner and was Frustrated to the
ground by the shock. SINNERS clothes
were torn entirely into fragments and
thrown in different directions more than
thirty feet from where they stood and
both his boots were entirely torn off and
thrown at least ten feet. There was scarce
ly shred Of any part of his clothing left
on him Ross lay ON the ground for an
instant, not entirely inscnsible, and made
one or two efforts to arise before he was
able As soon as he had sufficiently recoy-
cred himself he spoke to Skinner two or
three times, but received no reply lie

was running from both his ears and there
were two holes in the top of his head
Ross Immediately ran for help, and Skin
