 Thursday morning Deputies Saund- CTS and Marlow went out to the place, but before they got to the house they were met by Rushon's children, hay ing note for them, saying Rushon would shoot the first deputy stepping his foot on the place. The officers stood their ground all day, keeping away from the house and exchanging notes back and forth trying to induce him to surrender without fight
 About 9 D. m. the two officers, after SeLLlUS RuS1On W1Io ana CnllQToH out, turned loose on the house with their Winchesters, and from safe distance fired about 150 shots between that time and II o'clock, when Rush on surrendered Rushon was armed but the officers kept bullets flying so promiscuously at the windows and doors that it was unsafe for him to get up and take a shot, compelling him to lay down on the floor for safety.
 The house was an old log cabin and many ehinks were shot out causing Rushon to have a good many narrow escapes, as was shown by bullet holes close to where he had lain and the number of splinters on and near him. Rushon pretends to be a preacher, is about 90 years old and has been in this county about two years.
