direct to the Jarvis home. about six miles
distant, and called young Jarvis out of tha
house. JARVIS, when asked about the
charge, stated that he had made it. and that
ne could prove it, whcrcupon Hank raised
his Winchester and fired two shots, both
taking effect in the abdomen. from which ne
died in about thirty minutes. Hank is as
yet at large, having fled to the mountains
for protection.
