 that he knew the defendant by sight he saw the difficulty that occurred J on the corner of Ninth and Fremont streets; he was driving his wagon in
 that direction with load of blankets for man that was to start from that place. As he neared the place he saw team drive from the Southwest cor ner of Ninth and Fremont streets, and the man that was with him said that is the team 1 want to catch" I then i hollered to the driver of the other team to stop which he did, and I drove up by the side of his team, but before got to his team I saw Douglas running towards 1t with gun in his hand, and as halted my wagon saw douglass on the other side of the big wagon, striking at the driver with his gun; think he called him s- of a b.; I then heard Douglass say, "Get out the way till I shoot the s- Of a b-;" he then backed around towards the side Of the horses, cooked his gun, took aim and fired at MT. Linstrum :; he then made a motion of reeading his gun, going back fol cartridge; 1 jumped from my wagon instantly and ran around in front of the horses and grabbed him by the arms and held him until assistance came; I then turned him over to someone to take to jail; then went to the wagon where the woman child were sitting and took the child cut of her arms and helped her out of the wagon; I asked her if that was her husband who was shot and she answered yes. We then went to where the wounded man had fallen from the wagon; I knelt beside him and felt his head and concluded he might need doc tor and got on my wagon and went after one; I helped the doctor bind up his wounds; Linstrum, the man who was shot, was driving the wagon that 1 SAW coming out of the yard on Fremont street; the blows of the gun were aimed at Linstrum; I don't know if they took effect; Mir. Lin strum was on the nigh side Of the wagon, an unusual place for driver; Douglass was near the fUre-wheel cn the nigh side of the wagon when he struck the blows at Linstrum; I saw no weapons in the hands of Linstrum during the difficulty; if Linstrum had have had any weapons I would have seen them.
