cause Of the fact that he had exercised
the right Of free speech, and had given
expression to sentiments which were in

is that the rebels were not in town more
than half hour until villain went to
some Of the leaders and informed them
as to the direction in which most Of the

Of stealing horses, cattle, hogs, and

drugs, and paying for them in their
