-f6rnia. His brother was tried and ae-
Quilted in 1893 when he likewise went
West. Later the two lived together in
Coryeli County, Texas. where. Henry
Cantrtll accumulated quite a fortune.
The elder. Henry Cantrills had a son,
who, becoming angered at his uncle
and father for some real. OF fancied in
jury. reported his uncle as a fieeing
murderer to the sheriff of the county in
which they lived. Isaac Cantrill was
brought back and lodged In the Rus
seilviIle jail, whence he was. afterwards
released under bond OF $4,000. his
brothers Texas bank indemnifytng To-
cal bondsmen.
