on the fatal evening msnlionei, the good
citizens Of tie village prepared themselves
With shooting apparatus for the purpose
Of Kidding their community Of these, the
greatest pests they had ever known,
The hour at which lhe desTeTad0es usually
visited them approached, aAd with il came
the parties for whom they 50 AAIiously
looked. A feeling not unmiIsl with ankle
~ aud pain was dspieIsi upon every face,
/ The men rode up 10 the horse rack and dis
mounted, and so soon rs they had Alighted,
q 81 over Of dealh-dealing leaden balls Was
directed at them, Thompson was killed
Instantly, aud hiekeTsial was struck In
three places, Notwithstanding his frighthil
aud morlals wounds, Quo OF which either
burst the ball Of his right eye or so eoRinsed
IL as 10 render Il entirely sighlless, he fired
two well'aimed shots At his adVersaries, one
ball passing through the clothes Of enc Of
his antagonists, and one shot striking gun
In the hands Of another. lie then fired
several shots at random, showing lille even
In the clutches Of death the desperate and
uneonQuerable spirit which had attended
him all along through his career Of crime
When he Mas proslrato upon tho ground,
and his adyersaries were gathered round,
he exclaimed, "You have killed as brave
q man us there Is In the South" lie was
disposed TO be communicative, but he failed
TO get any interested or attentive auditors
Thompson had been q citizen OF Alyarado
having lived there, we believe, rs a rcspee-
ted citizen for about two years. lie was
soduced into the vicious career upon which
no had entered by Biekerstafr, man who
was then already we'll advanced on the
highway Of crime.
We learn that some arrests OF citizens OF
Alvarado have been made, It being suspee-
tod that they wore accessories Of Bickers.ah
and Thompson. We forbear TO mention
names, as the parties have been highly res
pected, and as there is not yet proof posi-
1.-Two Of their connection with the deceased.
