fired three shots at Perkins, none of which took
effect. Perkins then siezed his musket, lying
ready loaded in the wagon. and emptied its con-
tents toward Gray. The charge struck Grays
horse IN the neck, knocking down both the ami
NAL and the man. Having no more ammuni-
tion Perkins then fed. under fire. Gray returned
home, and Immediately he and his son secured
guns with the avowed determination of making
game of the minister. Perkins avoided an en-
counter, and later in the day swore out a war
rant for Gray's arrest.
