if they could sell me a watch: they

asked if they could get to Lopez
that way, and 1 said yes; I remark
ed, "have you got Marks rigs" he
said nothing, but ran and jumped
on the side of the rig and drove off;
saw blood near the sluice across the
road; stopped because I saw the
snow tramped down so; examined
the spot again on Sunday; it had
thawed some; I kicked aside the
snow where it had been clawed
down from the bank over it; saw
more blood under than on the snow;
saw two pieces of bloody cloth at
side Of road; both men were riding
on this day, one in each rig; I fix
the date on the 18th because I got
an order to open the road on the
17th, got lumber sawed on the 18th;
put down dates of transactions with
other parties; related these circum-
stances to Louis Marks in April;
noticed the rigs that day because
the Marks rig was so peculiarly
loaded; the load was evenly dis
tributed, but the blankets were all
used to oover the load, and there
was no place for the man to sit, and
no blankets to cover him; I thought
it strange way to travel.
