told me afterwards, tried his best to gel
under or into Amos for protection. Amo;
told him TO get out and take his share,
and he replied, L have got my share
already"
To do him justice, may say here that
the "Major" did not seem to think that
under all the circumstances, there was
anything particularly wrong in his sin

nues. He certainly enjoyed telling how
hard poor Charley White had tried to
crawl into Amos, and how his faithful
black mare had "fanned timber with
her indignant heels. The officers took
Amos into their midst and drove off rap
idly, and Redmond ceased firing for fear
Of killing his friend.
"I hadn't got Amos out yet" he con-
tinued, $50 as they drove on ran on
down the fence by their side until they
got to the next house, Mr.. Peppers,
which was not Ter of, and then | heard
them holler twhoap and call for old man
Pepper. Mr.. Pepper started obring out
q light, but Barton ordered him not to
bring it there. was standing few feet
from him in the darkness watching for a
chance to rescue Amos, but could not
tell him from the Others He had united
himself in the wagon; however, while
we were fighting, and suddenly I heard
some one holler, He's gonel he's gone!'
and then several shots were fired; but I
knew that he had got off safely. then
thought I would rush in and cut the
traces and recapture my horses, but
thought they might hit me, so stood
still. They all went into the house, and
went off and whistled for Amos, who
came to me and told me had wounded
Barton and Hendricks. We went back
together to watch the house, and LOOK
ed through the window and saw them all
sitting before the fire. I could have
killed Barton Or any of them, they were
not ten feet from me; but wouldn't
shoot any one down in another mans
house. ~" 's, iy-''..i" -
"na THE wAY THE REVENUES RUN.
The next morning I saw them again
in the road irls sthe one horse wagon and
wanted to shoot Jannison, but Amos
begged me not to do it, and wouldn't.
Presently the others came along and
Gary was riding on my horse by the side
of DR.. Earle who had been attending the
wounded. It made me mad to see him
on my own horse, after all that had hap
pened, bnt I wouldn't shoot at him for
fear Of wounding Earle, who was be-
tween US. Gary had gotten him, to ride
by him. At last I saw Earle 60 little
ahead, and I saw my chance and fred at
Gary and hit him. Earle helped him
back on my horse, and then I never saw
men run so in my life. 1 thought /
would stop them SO ! shot my own horse;
he commenced staggering, but he was
game and kept going, and I followed on
after them as fast as they and could
run. They crossed q creek and all
stopped and Gary hollered back to me (:
Come over here and I will kill you.' I
had only my pistol, but I started towards
him. I had to cross the creek on a
small log, and loaded as I went. Before
| could get across they commenced run
ming again, and I called out to them to
wait and I would kill every one of them.
That is the way you. do,' I said, you
steal all man has, and then runp |
then turned and went back. Gary had
dropped his hat in the road, and I found
| il and tore it all to pieces. He had my
overcoat, a shawl I had paid twenty.
eight dollars for, and also my hat, and
boots and fine dress coat. They gave
/ the hat. and boots and coat to negroes
living on the roadside. I heard of it
and gave out word that I would kill
them all if they didn't bring them back.
They brought them that same night, and
I found them hanging on the wagon next
morning. The revenue officers carried
off my shawl and overcoat and kept them
for their own use." Ut was for attempt
ing to recouer this stolen property that
Judge Mackey issued bench warrant
for him.for committing highway robbery. }

"The next day." continued Redmond,
IT sent word to Barton that if he would
return my horses and money and have
my wagon mended, 1 would call all
square between US and be done with it
he refused to do it, so a few days later
raised company of about twelve men
from - Creek, and went to call on
him. We rode all that night. 1t was
very dark and we missed the way, and
rode into cut in the railroad. 1t was
very deep, and 1 had hard fall. My
horse fell on me and knocked my leg out
of joint. l thought it was broken i
hurt 30, but I called to the boys to halt
or they would ride in too. One of them
was so close that as he wheeled his horses
hind legs slipped over the edge and
threw dirt down on me. l heard one oi
them say, He is killed, let's 60 back
home.' I found my horse was not hurt
much, so I got on him and rode down
the track until I could get out, and went
back to them. Ny leg was hurting very
badly, so I called one of the boys to me
and told him to catch hold and pull a:
hard as he could. He; did so, and my
leg slipped back with pop which ]
thought could have been heard a hun
dred yards of. J. did not say anything
about it. We had no light except
matches, and burned about five boxes O.
