Brannon's house while he started on the
journey which ended so fatally for him

pants, the boots, and an old saddle that had
belonged to the dead man, and which was
found in the brrsh near the cave. These
facts, together with the further fact that
Harris was last seen alive in the custody
of the Scots, father and son, will Insure
