morning.
A little after 6 O'Clock jackson started
to do some wood chopping, and foundtha

direction of Laviga's cabin, about q mile

bush and waited his victims coming.

after his horses, and when within 15O feet

jackson then fed, and the terrified
woman ran away in the woods in fear OF
her own life. She soon returned and
placed a pillow under her husband's head.
Taking her three children she started q
second time to notify her neighbors, but
owing to her poor knowledge Of the country
or perhaps the nervous and frightened con-
diton which she was in, she soon became
lost in the woods. ALI day she tramped
about and finally reached Marysville ct 8
o'clock in the afternoon and told OF what
had happened.
The murderer, in the meantime, had gone
to his cabin, and taking his horse started
for Marysville, reaching there about $50

two hours, and taking q fresh horse and
his gun, started in a westerly direction and
was last seen at Uncle Ben's ranch IN Dog

and posses started out from M~arysville in

Marysville. Talk Of lynching was rife and
the prisoner was removed to the county
