He at once sssailed in,' sent revolvers flying, and had laid out his two men, but. at. this iuncture sthe third man had frightened his guard by also presenting revolver, the latter fleeing for his life and the desperate coming te the aid of his comrades. He fired three shots at Fitzgerald, one hitting him ir the back of his head, and temporarily stunning him. They then jumped upor him, and, supposing him to be fixed, re- trained from acting upon the suggestion to "give the son of b. another one, , and left. Fitzgerald was found to be not dangerously injured by the shot, but al first serious results were feared from in juries to his stomach by stamping upoI him, hemorrhage resulting.
