Bar,tolomu, but while they were IN the
public road aud yet short dittsncs from
the coveted melons, Bartholomu jumped
out Of tho tall grass where hs had bssn
concealed and fired OH the boys with
double. .barreled shotgun. Al the first
lire young Murdoch fell with a frigbtful
wound in the fieshy part Of his left log.
He was not oyer fifteen feet distant from
the man in ambush and he received the
entire charge Of No. 1 shot.
Stainingsr was running, and had placed
perhaps fifty feet between him aud Bar
tholouu, when second shot instantly
killed HIM. The charge OF sho, tore his
right shoulder 10 pieces, his neck snd
side OF the bead receiving the brunt Of
tho sho, sere reduced TO . jelly.
Loan Rife, who Witnessed tho shooting,
Immediately rode to wray to notify the
officers and relatives Of the boys Of the
tragedy. There was considerable excite
mont In tho town No news OF the killing
spread, and while the people sere con
grsgating on tho main street another
horseman rode rapidly into tho village.
No ono scemed TO recognize him, but he
proved to be BArtholomu, and be ssid he
wished to surrender. - he bad killed ono
man and crippled another.
