clergymen were amazed at the Aurora
preachers views on the subject. None

the First Congregational church of
Jersey City, however, expressed him

said:

track down a path, some little dis.

getaway. 1t was rather nerve-trying
We could see they had rifles, when
they came closer, and the first i'm
pulse was to take shot at them,
anyway, but we waited patiently
until the men were within about
twenty-five feet of US, when I arose
partly and commanded them to halt.
The men both swung slightly
to the right and Immediately two
shots rang out. I felt burning
sensation in my left shoulder and all
through my left side to, ~ back,
and knew that I had been hit. I
did not Immediately fall to the
ground, but in a moment my mouth
began filling with blood, and
thought my final summons had come.
It was difficult to breathe, and
sank to the ground, my legs and
lower limbs becoming somewhat
numbed. In the meantime Allan
Benner had commenced shooting
and I could hear bullets whizzing
over my head after the fleeing
desperadoes.
Sheriff Hazen and Mr.. Benner

me having been killed; but I re.
