believed to be making his way toward the
centre OF the island. hundred men are out

Schwinz about twenty-eight years old.
He well thought OF and quiet. He had been
employed upon the Mackay estate and to-day
was using his team there carting. Returning
from work he reached his home on the Highlands
about O'Clock. He embarrassed his horses and
turned them out to Craze. One of them strayed
from the field in which II belonged to the old
Willard Hicks estate. Boush lives in d house on
this place. He ordered Schwinz TO take his
horse away. Schwinz Il appears did So but
Boush followed him around berating him for
allowing the horse to get upon the property
Schwinz. it IS said. retorted that If the place
was properly fenced there would be no danger
OF horses getting into the fields. They had an
argument. Schwinz drove his horse out upon
the road and started 1t toward his own place

took him midway between the houses they
occupied

Boush he turned full about. BY this time Boush
was close upon him. Boush halted. and taking
quick aim, fired both barrels in succession. one
charge made hole in the right breast and
the heavy shot with which the gun was charged
tore out the right lung. The other charge
struck over the heart. making a hole eight
inches across. The shot Iacerated the heart
and the surrounding flesh
The shooting was witnessed by several men
They started at once for the murderer, but he
either slipped two more shells into the gun or
pretended 10 do so, which just as effective
He kept the pursuers at distance with the
gun as he retreated. They followed. but kept
out Of range. 1t was growing dark and when
Boush reached the wood he was soon lost 10
sight.
Word had been sent out, and within half an
hour armed men were out cunning for Boush
