he would let her alone she would give
him the key and he could have the
money. He then ran to the schoolhouse
for the money, and she gave the alarm.
A band of farmers have chased the as
sailant into a branch about a mile away
and have it surrounded. The family de-
clare that they will string him up if they
catch him.
