as heard that, some one said, "Close

and I called him back, saying, ,4aC Come

man running down the ravine; / sung
out to him to stop twice, and shot at him |;
Butterield ran out to take care Of john

ground and remained moment, when /
got up and started to leave; went a
short distance and heard somebody
coming threw myself into the ditch and
saw two men go by; after they got by
l got up and went to Armstrong; house
and found johnson there; went out to
the horses; Garvey came up and said
Boss Wright was shot; handed him
my gun and started for doctor; he
said Wright was down in the ravine, ly-
ing there; if we could get doctor we
might save him. There was no signal
agreed on between us by whistling or
otherwise we had no notice of any
other party being there, but have been
told since that word had been sent in
that there was another party watching
the horses. I:think that there thirty
shots fired. LEWIS TEAL.

evening Robinson told me that there
were two horses hitched inGold rayine;
MILESTONE and | went to the horses and
Robinson came in moment afterwards
and proposed that some one should let
the officers know about the horses, and
/ and Milestone started to town for that
purpose; Robinson and another man
said they would stay and watch the hor-
ses to see who came after them until the
officers came; Milestone and came to
town and nearly in front of the SAeriffs
office, there were two horses and par
to of men, Plumer was one, and George
SAVERS was one and he on horseback !;
Boss Wright came there on foot in
few minutes; called Henry Plumer,
the Marshal, to one side and told him
about the horses in the rayine, he said
Mr.. McCutchin had just informed him
about it; told him that he had better
go as quick as he could, he said that he
would have gone before this time, but it
took them "God damned Sheriffs'' about
three hours to start, that he had waited
about two hours already; when l told
him that he had better be in a hurry l
told him that he would find party
there watching the horses Robinson
had told me before left that Wallace
Williams had been there and was come
ing back; the Marshal and those with
him started off and that was the last /
knew of it. No one could have heard
me tell Plumer about the horses except
the man who was with me we were at
least ten feet from any other person; l
cannot tell when Henry Plumer is drunk
or not; Ihad reason for telling Plumer
that there was party there, because
/ knew an instance of that kind once at
home, where an innocent man was shot
while watching stolen goods; was
afraid of Plumer's party shooting Rob-
inson's party and not of Robinson shoot
ing any of Plumer's party.

AT. RoBINsoN-On Monday as /
was going home in the afternoon l saw
these horses, I passed them when l
thought that one of them might be Lam
casters colt and went back to look at
them, l looked at them and the way
they were saddled, &c. excited my sus-
picion, thought they were there for
the prisoners who had escaped from the
Jail; / went across the ravine to where
McCutchin was chopping wood; l asked
him If he knew who left the horses
there and he said he did not know who
left them there, but his little girl saw
two men who came down the ravine
leave them there; / told him what l
thought, and that wished Boss Wright
knew it; he said that he was going in
that evening and that he might just as
well go in there as not, and asked him
to tell Boss Wright; he spoke of Henry
Plumer but told him thought it bet
ter to tell Boss Wright; told him that
/ would watch and see who took them
of, if / could not stop them, until the
posse came out from town; then went
over the ravine and had some talk with
man who lives there, and got him to
watch until | went home and got my
supper; when / came back he told me
that Wallace Williams had been there
and had gone for posse of men and
would be up soon; stopped there until
Williams came, and made myself known
and there being enough went home,
l told Baldwin if came back / would
whistle and answer when hailed; then
started off and went home, and as soon
as the firing commenced | started and
run down on to the hill j; did not know
what they were firing for and deemed it
prudent to stand on the hill ! holloed
but could not make them hear, as soon
as the firing ceased l holloed again;
some one hailed me and asked if that
was Robinson, / answered yes, received
the reply that all was right and went
down into the ravine, the first man /
saw when I got into the ravine was
Wallace Williams who told me that
