of Bakers father compromise was
effected. and II looked rs II there would
be no further blood.letting.
Israel Howard and Tom Baker had
had a little shooting scrape over the

slight flesh wounds, which soon healed.
Several days after the compromise old
man Howard found Tom Baker Mt the
log pit taking out undivided logs. They
Quarreled and Baker drew n pistol and
threatened to shoot Howard on the
spot. Howard was unarmed and he
soon talked Baker out Of the notion Of
shooting. As Howard walked away,
however, Baker threw an anger at him.
This opened the breech between the
Bakers and the Howards. and when a
tide came about n week later old man
Howard. his sons Israel and Carter and
Burch Store went to the log pit and
took the undivided raft out Of the
mouth Of Crane creek, and Israel and
Carter remained on It and floated II
