chambers of his pistol, aud Short fired
eight shots from his Winchester. The ends

through the window, striking him in the
arm, passing completely through it, but
luckily just missing the bones aud arteries.
Bryant was the first man to drop, and he
fell head foremost down the steps. Short
caught him by the leg and held him with
his head almost touching the ground. He
called to the conductor. and when he got to
him he said: 81 have got him, Jim, and he
has got me.n
