late one night soon after our return
TO the city, we entered his store by
removing a light In the rear west
window. Davis went through the
window and opened the back door
through which we all entered. Among
the prov isions we secured some hams,
sugar, syrup, crackers and canned

the White House saloon. After gain
ing an entrance 10 this place we filled
several demijohns With liquor and
took q supply Of cigars.

a roWboat aud two Of the boys took II

where IL was cached among the rocks.

direction Of the post cemetery where

Russell bad stolen. One day later

in company with another boy who
will recall the circumstance, and W.
