man, accompanied some young ladies to
church, and after seeing them home and
starting to their own home were set upon
by four other young men, who let loose a
volley Of rocks at them. Ware and Martin
did not run. but climbed over a fence and
lay behind it. Seeing they would
not run from rocks the other
crowd pulled their guns and opened
fire. The boys behind the fence were "fxedn

minister, hearing the shooting and kno wing
Of the threats that had been made about
