guard. John caught the guard but he
was a strong young man and managed
to shake John OFF. By this time Mr..
Davidsons two daughters came out and
sat on the cellar door. John was de-
termined to catch one of the thieves so
got his gun and marched the young
fellow from his trap and made him tell
who the other fellow was. After max
ing him beg for mercy until he thought
it was in vain, he told him if he would

free him. The lad after he was freed
