and the other boys wanted to
escort Misses Rose and and Lizzie
Sidemore home. The boys were
all drinking and the girls being
afraid of them elluded them and
went to Sohmidt's house. There.
upon the boys followed them, and
Mr.. Schmidt came out in the yard
and told the boys to go away as the
girls were afraid ofthem and would
not go home until they left, telling
Barkis if he did not believe him he
could see the girls in the house.
Barkis went to the house, when
Mrs. Schmidt upbraided him, tell
ing him the girls were afraid and
that he ought to be ashamed of
himself and go away, Barkis then
went away, together with the other
boys.
Afterward he borrowed knife
from Matthews and coming back
to Schmidts house, called to
George Schmidt to come out. He
refused to do SO. Then the old
gentleman went out to the fence
where Barkis was and again re-

back affecting two very serious
wounds, penetrating his lungs,
from which it is not expected he
can recover.
