There wuz one feendish persecooter less,
fer the top Nv that nigger's head wuz blowd
into an admin field.
Fortunately ther happened to be ten or
dozen niggers conspirin agin us in ez ma
ny different feeds in the visinity, and when
they heerd the report of McPelter's gun
they came runnin to the spot. Seein the
lifelus body Nv ther feller-invader a lyin
there, and noticin that McPelter wuz a
canly reloadin the empty barl Nv his shot
gun, they defantly fled in every direck-
shun. This wuz enuf. This wus the last
feather on the white camel's back. Eff
they wuz innosent of intendiu harm to us.
why did they fly? Du innosent men fly
like hoss-theves in the mite
Capt. McPelter gave the word and pur-
SCOT commenced, the heroism Nv wich hez
seldom bin exalted in the history Nv the
world. Away thro the corn, over the stub
bic, down the gulches, and over the hills
we chased infoeriated demons. The reas-
surin note Nv the revolver, the swisly ex-
plosiOn Nv the shotgun, the clear, sharp
ring Nv the deadly rife wuz herd in all d.
reckshuns, proclaimin each in its own
sweet voice that the proud Caucasian wood
never, never, never rest with the heel Nv an
inferior race onto his neck.
At this pint came the catastrofy wich set
the blood Nv the corners bilin. That ven
cradle saint, Deekin Pogram, wuz clost be-
hind one Nv the vampires, and he'd his shot
gun raised, and a bead drawd onto him.
Jist ez he pulled the trigger, the infamous
nigger dropt, and the slugs and buck shot
passed harmlessly over him. Before the
good old man Good cock the other bari, the
blood-thirsty demon turned, and knocked
him down with his hoe, wich wepin he he'd
doubtless kept with him for the purpose.
When Isaaker Gavitt came up, he found
the Deekin weltrin in his goar, and the
feend who he'd thus slaked his thirst for |
blood, runnin away in the most insultin |
manner. Issaker is man NV decision. |
His shot gun wuz at his shoulder ir a mi |
nit, and in a second more that niger he'd !
paid the penalty Nv his crime. His body |

Wv coarse, after this there wuz no COM |
permisin with these demons. 1t wuz a |
otr"sgle fox life. and we realized the fact. |
l.oadin our guns, and seein that the caps
were all good and liable to go off properly, |
we started after em afresh, determined to |
perfect our homes and fre-sides, at no mat |
ter what hazard. The news Nv our comm |
preceded US, and the conspirators, doubt
less in pursuit Nv ther polisy, took to the |
woods. We follered em ez rapidly ez we |
Good, but we only overlook five Nv them. |
Then we shot at site, and them ez we
didn't find at home we burned their cabins |
Then come another trouble unto US. We |
shoOd bev cleaned out the entire bilin Nv !
em, but Joe Bigler and Pollock he'd heerd |
NV our summary defense, and he'd gathered |
a lot Nv niggers and armed EN- and they |
appeared onto the scene. Bigler remarked |
to me that the party he'd better disperse,
and he emphasized his remark by drawin |
the ugliest navy revolver l ever saw, and
kivern me with It.
'parson,' sed he, 'ef there is a man Nv |
700 in site in three minutes. this yer pistol |
goes off and 700 are ez dead man ez ever
wuz put under the ground. Do you hear p |

the Indebtedness bigger, on the chance NV |

to chance it, and / wuz saved. They dis |
persed.
We he'd a mcetin the same mite, however,
and pledged ourselves to resist to the death |
