maskers, though not so many as at
some Of the former dances. Many Of
the dancers did not mask, so that
the dance did not assume its full
degree Of liveliness until the time for
raising the masks was past.

and told him the militia boys had shot
two of his cattle, killing one and
wonnding another in the leg He had
been told this, he said by certain
Mr.. Smiser, a miner who lived in the
locality of the rife range, with re-
quest that he inform Mr.. Sampson,
that he might look after his cattle.
Mr.. Sampson was naturally indignant
at the carelessness Of the militia and
was determined to have redress. On
looking after his cattle, however, 20
dead one could be found, but one of
he animals was found severely
isunded in the body. When the
