fifty yards away. Mr.. Gilmour
and family retired Thursday night,
while the men and James went to the

cept the fact that Charles Hawkins, of
Meschosin. with whose daughter Gilmour
ran away some time ago, swore
that he would get even. This
theory is supported by the fact
that the wife at the suggestion of the
father left her husband and took the three
other daughters. who agreed 70 accom-
