TO be called together by given signal.
About midnight one of the watchers

as fast an they could, but the horse was
too fast for them and left them in the

chase.
The Sheriff, however, for some un-

repaired 10 Hallett's stable to see if the

The young men offered their services
to the Sheriff, but they were not ac-
