He then got up and came for Dawson
with a chair, and the latter shot at lis
arms and feet, a he says, 10 iniure him
| and cause him 10 retreat and not kill
him. Three or four shots took effect.
Two wounds might have been made by
one shot. in which case only three balls
struck him. II this theory be true, the
one passed through the muscle of the
left arm above the elbow and then
through the left side below the ribs,
but not entering the abdominal cavity,
passing out about six inches back OF

through the muscles If the shoulder

Since the above was put in type the
following has been leatned Accord
ing to the statements of Mr.. and Mrs.
Curtis, the above is wrong in two or
three particulars. She was not knocked
down, and the marshal made no de-
mand on him TO surrender. before
