went behind the counter to take Williams.
Tompkins stationed himself in a position to
keep the Others from interfering, but was at.

approached from behind and struck him a Sc
we're blow on the back of the head. He
fired two or three times at his assailants, and
Crawford fired twice at him Tompkins

after severe russell, succeeded in overpo wer-
ing Williams, having closed his "peepers" by
few well directed blows. Tompkins was
pretty severely injured, several ugly gashes
