ing the wound moment. and then,
dragging his paralyzed hinder parts,
crawled out of sight. The others were
getting somewhat shy, but plucked up
courage during the cessation of hostili
ties, while reloaded, and then came
close under me again.
A third shot killed one nearly out

a safe distance and amused himself
with his wound. while the unhurt sur

another SO sharply that he stood not on

to follow them, turning now and again
to bite his own entrails, entangling his
feet and catching on stubs and stones.

GUILTY OF MANsLAUGHTER.
Heinous Crime for Which Two Young
Brothers Must Serve Terms In
the Penitentiary.

Chi1licothe, o., Dec. 19.-Two mere
boys, Elmer and George Butler, aged
respectively, 20 and 13, were yesterday
found guilty of manslaughter, and will
serve a term in the penitentiary fo1
the murder of Daisy Browser, young
girl. The crime was a heinous one, and
at the trial it was proven that the girl
had been shot down from ambush for
no cause whatever. The defense made
an attempt to prove that insanity ran
in the Butler family, but the jury
could not be convinced. The jury rem
dered the verdict at 10:30 yesterday
morning, having been out since seven
o'clock Saturday night.
