alleged, he was joined by Whitton. The
latter rode ahead of the officers TO notify
his friend of their coming, when he learned
that they had Linn located.
The Fatal Shot Fired.
Arriving at Carpenters Franshaw stepped
toward the house. while Allen remained to
hitch the horses. Carpenter opened the
door. Then a nan standing at the side
door with Carpenters shotgun loaded with
buckshot pulled up and covered Allen,
about fifty feet away. Allen cooked his
shotgun. and probably detecting an effort to

his revolver from right to left
Franshaw took careful aim and was
about to fire at Morgan when Whitton came
up from the rear, and, drawing a bead on
him. exclaimed:
You shoot and I'll shoot"
He pressed his gun to Franshaw's back
and said to Morgan:
Shall kill hiIn?'
NO" said Morgan: st never killed an I'M
