rounded the place. The woman of the
house with two of her children, aged twelve
and sixteen were sleeping out under the
trees, owing to the heat, and
third child nine years old, sleeping in the
house. The marshal on riding up woke
them, and they, supposing some drunken
Indians were carousing near, ran for the
house to barricade the doors. The mar
shal, without waiting for a close investi-
cation to see whether they we're the par
ties wanted, opened fire, killing both of the
boys, and wounding the woman. They
then rushed into the house and seeing the
other boy lying there in the dim light, shot
and killed him. On discovering their
