who has thorough knowledge OF that section
OF country, led the party of scouts.
Alter riding some three miles below the town
OF Lagrange, Smith deployed the party to the
right, taking to the hills for the purpose of
securing aregion of country somewhat secluded
and where robbers might secrete themselves
without being easily detected. Away from the
habitable portion of lands belonging to Mr.
