return for the favors bestowed upon
us by the British government. The

water and a policeman. Now, | have
come to tell you that we have eight
guns ancient and true. four pounds
of excellent gunpowder in a bottle
and a bag OF bullets. these being no
more or less than the honorable Brit
ish government has permitted us to
hold.
Master. we have heard a rumor
that the British government is in
great trouble with It's enemies.
Wherefore our villagers have empow-
cred me TO say hat the eight guns.
powder and bullets are at the dis
posal of the British government"
AS the army the chief offered two
of the best village crackers TO handle
the artillery and munitions lie
went away satisfied that the honor
able British government should hear
OF the generous offer and he should
know all in due time.

In fact he was belligerent, even with the Officers He offered to fight any and all corners. Ruff locked his man up and left the jail to be brought back soon afterward and to find that the first man had been badly beaten up by the large fellow. Shortly after ward Ruff was telling Constable Pol ley about the affair and the constable proposed that they go to the jail and take him on single handed.
