clerk, and Mr.: Patterson, a travelling man,
went to the Gallop house to see what the
trouble Yas and assist In restoring peace.
Frank Gallop without any provocation or
warning, advanced from the house and
drawing a revolver said: "What do You

fired shot which entered Pines breast
above the heart, killing him almost in:tantly
Those with Pine at once gave the alarm and
in very few minutes at least 500 angry and
excited citizens were at the scene of the
murder. The excitement grew intense and
dire threats Of vengeance we're made against
the murderer. Frank Gallop was known to
De a desperate man when aroused, and it was
deemed best to call out Company T. Of the 9Th
regiment, state militia, to assist in cap turing
him. On the arrival of the militia at the
scene u line was formed around the Gallon
place, which included garden containing
some trees and shrubbery, and in a short
! time Frank Gallop was heard by one of the
guards in the rear of the house calling from
the shrubbery in the garden to his wife In the
house. At the same time old man Gallop and
his wife were assuring those in front Of the
house that their son Frank was not there,
| but had fed, and invited them to enter and
| search the house and satisfy themselves Of
| the truth Of their statements. Having no sus-
picion of treachery, Bert Rice, Dave Campbell,
