thoroughfares with his rapid-fring
gun. The Kentuckian saw Fred
about the same time and came to
the conclusion that he should
change his course. After firing off
another "brosdside" he put his
wheel to port and the chase began.

leagues about the city the Kentuck-
ian's propellers gave way and be

enclosure. Cyrus demanded that the
man Loaded with "mountain dew"
lower his colors, but at first he re-

go another "broadside." Seeing that
Admiral Cyrus bad his decks clear
ed for action, the Kentuckian lower

flag. Fred towed Fuller and bic
young cannon before ex. Off clio JUS
tice Morris and the latter sent him
to Wayne. The case will be heard
before Judge Wilkinson at the next
meeting of the countys Hague tri.
