head should be injured that Messrs.
Shearer, Brice and Thomas McCrede
should be killed. A body Of fifty four men
had organized for his protection against
whatg and that no one should either talk,
act, or publish anything more in reference
to him. If they did it would be at the peril
of their lives We are informed by parties
who saw the crowd leave town that they
numbered six persons, some of whom were
| recognized. When they returned eighteen
were counted as they passed house in the
northern end of town. All are at liberty to
form their own opinion regarding this. We
do not suppose DR.. Montgomery's head or

body will attempt to take the law into their
own hands, so there is no cause for alarm

mill, mixed 1t with a little hot water, and
strained it through patch torn from the
nethermoSt end of his shirt. The elixir
was then ready for use and naught else
was needed but an instrument of in
lection and a patient. His natural
inventive genius suggested substitute for

From the capaclous depths of his pockets he
drew IA popgun and loaded it with elixir,
and, as If in furtherance of his plans. a
hypochondrlacal dog came his way. Fired
with the ambition Of scientific research the
dog was soon his prisoner, its four legs tied
together and it bound to lamp post Then
with his little knife he split long cash in
the CANNES caudal appendage. The nozzle
of the popgun was inserted
and the charge of elixir flew INTO
the gaping wound and was taken up by the
life blood of the animal He then released
