by one Of the guard to pick up a piece of paper

another prisoner. To demand to deliver the
paper Stevens fatty refused, saying he would
die first. The guards attempted to take the
paper by force, when he assaulted them with
rocks, at the same time calling on his fellow.
prisoners to aid him. Guard Coy drew re.
volver and fired at Stevens, intlicting slight
wound, which Stevens responded to by Strik-
ing Coy on the head, with a huge rock, in
hlcting serious wound. The guards ran to
Shanty in which a number of loaded shot
guns were kept, and arming themselves, they
returned and found the prisoners. They had
apparently made up their minds to resist
boldly, and the presence of the guard was
greeted with vOley of rocks, one of which
struck Capt. McQuard on the head, knocking
him senselesS. The guards fired upon the
prisoners, and Stevens and four others fell,
the former mortally wounded. Two of the
