society in New York which had been
presented with a handsome flag. There
were about dozen men trying to Sc

that he had hidden the banner and come
to the west. The men had followed him
and were seeking to kill him. They had
changed costume several times seeking
to disguise themselves, but he was onto

While riding up in the patrol wagon
he claimed to see the men following
