stating that in fifteen minutes he would return
and mace himself in the same relation to Jones

Jones refused unless he would promise to re-
turn within specified time and deliver himself
mn to his custody. Wood had objections to
dp;no anv such thing. consequently refused, and
made a move towards. the door. Jones then
tool hold of him In d violent manner, stating to
. .a standing round that he was sheriff of

ana demanded assistance. One person then

rnod naturedly pressed them apart. Wood
Baked towards his house, few rods distant
Jones ra1i out of the door and started after him.
5fom;np nm with Wood he clinched, and endeay-
cred to drag him back to the Office, calling upon
those standing near to help him, and saying that
no was sheriff Of Douglass county, and was acting
n that capacity. One man then stepped up and
took hold of Wood, and commenced talking to
the prisoner ina very quiet manner, telling him
10 obey the laws, to submit to an arrest, and he
should not be hurt. Jones then commenced pull
inc Wood towards the office, and his assistant
stood at the other side of Wood, pushing him
along. Some one seized Jones' assistant by the
color. and pulled him, away. Jones, holding
Wood with one hand, with the other. made a
movement towards taking a revolver out of his
belt. Wood anticipating the object, seized hold
of the pistol, and took possession of it. Some
person then stepped in between Jones ana " ood
to prevent fight, and separated the parties.-
Jones then walked into the office, declared that
If he had not lost his pistol, he would have shot
the d-n. &c. Wood walked home, and Jones
turned to those standing about, and asked if
they did not "consider that resistance to the
law?n if that was not g resisting the officerss"
This forenoon, while the citizens were in
church. Jones. with six or eight assistants, came
into town to arrest Wood and those accused of
rescuing him Yesterday. Wood happened to be
in distant part Of the city and Jones did not
aee him.
Jones then made an attempt to arrest Mr. Mon
