trouble was and assist In restoring peace.
Frank Gallop without any proyocation or
warning, advanced from the house and
drawing revolver said: s'What do you

tired shot which entered Pines breast
above the heart, killing him almost Instantly
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
dlfe threats OF vengeance were made against
the murderer. Frank Gallop was known to
be a desperate man when aroused, and it was
deemed best to call out Company E of the 5th
regiment, state militia, to assist in capturing
him. On the arrival of the militia at the
scene a line was formed around the Gallon
place, which included a 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 Gallon and
his wife were assuring those in front Of the
house that their son Frank was not there,
but had fled, and invited them to enter and
search the house and satisfy themselves of
the truth oftheirstatements. Having no sus-
plclon OF treachery, Bert Rice Dave Campbell,
l. d. Patterson "a Chicago travelling MANI,
T. ii. Winfrey and others of the militia
company and citizens went to the house.
They had searched the cellar and were com
ing out of it when Frank Gallon appeared
armed with two revolvers. Dave Campbell,
who was unarmed, grappled with him at the
door and received a probably fatal wound in
the neck from the desperado's revolver,
Standing over the PROSTATE form of Camp
bell the desperate reloaded his revolver with
cartridges handed him by one of the women
from within the house and commenced an
indiscriminate fire upon those in sight. His
next shot took effect on T. II. Winfrey,
wounding him in the leg slightly He then
started to run toward the rear of the house
and encountered militia man Bert Rice Both
fred almost at the same instant.e Rice's shot,
it seems, did not take effect, but the shot
from Gallop's pistol entered Rices breast and
he died in a few moments. Gallon then en-
countered Morris Fletcher another militia
man who raised his gun in his arms, he being
too close to bring it to his shoulder. With
the muzzle almost touching Gallop's back he
fired. The ball passed through Gallop's
body.
1t was not yetkn that Gallop was dead,
and preparations were continued for a closer
investigation and to prevent any further
loss oflife by the treachery of the other mem
bers of the family. In a short time Frank
Gallop's wife appeared and stated that her
husband was dead, but fearing further treach-
