asked to be shown some cartridges. The
Marshal stepped up to the fellow and, after
asking several questions about himself, asked
him if he had revolver. He replied that he
had one at home. The Marshal then took hold
of him, but the fellow tore away and ran, the
Marshal and DR.. Jenner in hot pursuit.
Before going four rods he turned and fired at
the Marshal. DIR. Jenner then started in pur-
suit, hallooing "Catch that thief!" The pur-
sued man then fired again, which struck the
Marshal near the heart. DR.. Jenner, who was

had taken effect, and took Snodgrass into q

head and beat and bruised him up considerable
before he was gotten into the lookup.
