shooting I asked Grant to go up the
road to see # Brock and his gang were
going to leave. / wished to watch them,
so as to catch them on the move so |
could find my property in their posses
sion and have them arrested. Grant
reported to me that they were not GO
ing. That night L was near Brooks
house watching. 1 went up because I
heard wagon and thought they were
going. While 1 was there I heard them
laughing and talking and heard my
name mentioned. I went home, and
about 4 a. m. L went up again. Grant
was with me. Grant had a gun. l told
him to leave his gun or they would
think we were hunting a racket. We
arrived at, or near, Brooks about sun
up. We were about 800 yards from
Brooks when We saw Brock come out
of the house and make fire, then take
up a bride and start off. Then Ducel
came out and hallOed to Brock to
let my horse follow him in. 1 then
said to Grant, ''They are not going
away today. I will go and have a talk
with Ducel and Muller l went up there
to the house. Grant never went with
me- I first met Ducel, who said: What
in hell are you doing up here this
early? I know what YOU want. You
want a racket'aI said, No, 1 don't
want any trouble. I just want to talk
to you two fellows. Ducel said. I
wont talk with any such s of a b as

He hit at me with the club. threw up
my LETT hand to ward off the blow. I
looked around and saw Muller at the
window with gun. I then shot DuceI,
and rushed toward the house. Muller
was in the act of aiming his gun at
| the door when L put my head and
arm in the door and shot him. At that
Grant came up. Grant asked me what
I was going to do. I said, I have done
enough. 1 am going home Going to-

that Brock looked very pale and ex-
