his brother John, Doc, and a few hardy
sons of toll to carry ammunition and axes,
sailed forth from Castle Short with
numerous "purp5 of all breeds, and
many good wishes. An aged hound
seemed to be the pride and "stay" Of the

coon is alive and doing well. The Mar
shal is looking for the men that tackled
that elm tree.
