Last week we gave the partic-

The sequel shows that Began
Cash is not only a graceless
reprobate, a bully, a bulldozer
of timid people, a villain, a
cruel, brutal wretch, but that he
ls withal, a consummate coward:
On Saturday last he went to

He passed the Marshal several
times during the day. but made
no hostile demonstration. and
This treachery led the Marshal
t" believe that he had nothing
to apprehend. About four
o'clock iu the afternoon, he was
standing On a corner, leaning up
against a tree summing himself,

his body to the other side, with

surgeon.
The second shot struck the
Marshal in the breast, pierced
one lung, and lodged in the

Cash fired, but missed again,
the ball grazing the MarshaPs

a tree.
Then there appeared a scene
well calculated to haslnear the
reputation for courage which
the Cashes have acquired among
