him to bring them back; that Fredell replied that
he would not and kept on running until he again
mounted the fence, when he applied to the accused
an opprobrous epithet, and said if he came out on
the road he would kill him. Fostspring followed him
out and again demanded the boots; the deceased re-
piled by striking him on the head with large flint
stone, inflicting bad wound and was preparing to
repeat the blow, but prevented by the ac-
