lands were declared forfeited to the govern

taken to eject them from their homes
But this was more easily said than done.
Intrenched in their mountain businesses, the
Green Mountain Boys, under the lead OF
Ethan Allen, Seth Warner and Kemempeer n.X1eN

One one occasion Sheriff Monroe, of Albany,
with posse of ten men, undertook the cap.

Green Mountain Boys, with Seth Warner at
their head.
The settlers, having notice of his coming,
retired to cave in the rocks, rigged up a
figure in tree in front of it to initiate a
panther, and, stationing themselves, some in
the cave and others in ambush close by,
quietly awaited the approach Of the sheriff.
1t was nightfall before he discovered their
haunt, and the gathering darkness tended to
inspire his men with secret fear of unknown
dangers which might be lurking near
Nevertheless he marched with seeming
boldness to the mouth of the cavern, which
had been pointed out to him as the retreat
of the outlaws, and loudly demanded their
surrender.
While those who were within were parley-
