passing through his arm. For some years

a mile apart. Three months ago Pearson
! and one of the Duncans had a quarrel
| over the old family feud, which resulted
/ in fight, and Duncan got whipped. Fri
/ day afternoon three of the Duncans were
! at Greer's heavily armed. Pearson was
! also in the town. The Duncans started

was ambushed and shot. There is very lit
| tie hope Of his recovery. The Duncans
made their escape.
