Drawing his sword and revolver, the
brave young officer dug his rowels into
the sides Of his horse and plunged for

thing happened.
While passing n low line OF bushes

saw n slender figure in white raise

rifle. There was n swift, sharp re-
port, and as It rung out his horse
stumbled to its knees, pitching him
over its lead. He alighted somewhat
stunned, hut still unhurt, and seeing
at n glance that his horse was wholly
disabled, he bent low and ran swiftly

that had been brought up in the

legality of the Indictment.
Considerable correspondence by

MILAN notified Governor Longfno
that he was just leaving Nashville

further stated that he bad promised
