by Squire Brady aud others, and refers
for iuriher proof of his story to MIR.
German, one of the marshas, and the
members Of the Millard Band and the

Richards fired the first shot appears 10 be
based upon Fouutaiu's accusation, and is
disproved by the fact that Riekards,
Brady and German, who were riding side
