and W. Y. Baker, of the State Ran

from town to the ranger camp,
which is about one and a hall miles
out on the Santa Rosa1ia road,
they were fired upon from ambush,
Ranger Roebuck being killed almost
instantly and Ranger Baker wound
ed, They were taken entirely by
surprise and did not see the assas-
sins, who were hidden behind a
thicket of brush inside a pasture
fence by the left side of the road
and fired from their rear. The place
was about $50 yards this side of
the gate leading to the ranger camp,
which is located in small pasture
near the resaca.
From Ranger Baker, THE HER

tragedy The little party of three
were on horseback, and Baker was
ahead of the others, his horse
prancing slightly, when the first
shot was fired. 1t came from their
rear and just missed Baker a
second followed almost instantly
and he felt that he was shot in the
left hip. Then there was a regular
fusilade of shots all fired together
from the same point.
Baker and Miller wheeled at once
and began firing, emptying their
in the direction from
which they were fired upon, al
though the brush entirely conceal
ed their assailants. Having emptied
their pistols, they rode rapidly on
towards the camp to get their
Winchester rifles. In the excite
ment, they had not noticed that
Roebuck took no part in shooting
at the murderers. He still sat up
right on his horse without uttering
a word, and rode on with them, for
about thirty yards, when his horse
fell behind them. Just as they
reached the pasture gate, they saw
his horse come up riderless, and
realized that he had been shot Sc

a frown of displeasure succeed the
flash of surprise that shone on Stan

Jack stated the situation just as it
was. keeping back nothing, and at the
mention of his own and Georges grad

Dorothy persisted, until we were stop
ped and ordered back.
1t was a dreary night on which we
turned our horses heads south. Every
thing was frozen up. Clouds were scud-
ding across the moon and piling up in
the East as if preparing for a great
snowstorm. The soldier detailed to act
as our escort through the picket lines
was inclined to be laxative, but he
got no encouragement from Dorothy
or me. We were returning defeated

down the road toward Washington.
Our guard emptied his pistol so
quickly that the five succeeding shots
sounded like the echoes of the first.
They whistled dangerously near me,
but flew wild of Dorothy, There were
shouts and, calls and other pistol
shots from pickets, but still we swept
on, our horses hoofbeats ringing sharp
and clear on the cold night air.
