his corn. Shculdering his gun be
trudged out to his lot and watched.
Presently he saw two men walk along
the railroad and begin trsmpIng up
and down the siding. One of them
threw stone at board which was
standing upright in his potato patch,
and which in the darkness resembled a
mans form. Then the two descended
into the patch and began raising pota-
toes. Stouffer yelled at them and they
ran. As they sped toward the corn
field he followed and fired as they
we're all running He uttered The CON-
mand "halt," but he heard nothing but
the noise as they rushed among the
cornstalks. Fearing that they might
return, and not knowing of any damage
be had inflicted, he feared that the tw o
men might make counter charge.
He accordingly returned to town and
stayed here until yesterday morning,
when, in company with some children
be went out to the field to get some
some roasting ears to sell in the town.
After passing along three or four rows
he came across the dead body. He
came to town, disposed of his corn, and
then went to Hon. John Stewart and
narrated the above facts. A jury was
summoned and proceeding to the spot
found the body lying face downward
amongst the cornstalks. The body
was turned over on its back when il
was recognised as the corpse of Robert
Allison. Decomposition had already
set 1t and terrible gunshot wound,
one and a half inches in diameter on
the left side below the heart, indicated
the cause OF the death. Swollen and
blackened, the body lay among the
corn prey to insects and flies through
out the whole half day until the coron-
er put iI his appearance.
