hills leading out from lrwinton, and the sweet
ness of the music reminded Eli that be had bet

Walker to come out, and while Jeanes went to
the house Smith ran back and told Newton and
Howe TO come 70 the house. AS Walker came
out OF the house Newton and Howe fired at
Walker and at the FIRST fire Smith ran away In
