NAMED at the copper mines and We
went on into the woods. We each
carried a 40-pound pack. Hunters
cabin, where the |. w. WIS were
supposed to be in hiding was about
II miles from where we left these
men Seven Of this distance was half
way blazed while the remainder of
the journey was made through thick
underbrush. We were supposed to
meet the Centralia posse near the
cabin, which is located on the head
waters of the Hannaford river.
when we were within one-half
mile of the cabin, we hid our packs"
continued Mr.. King. with Davies,
the tracker in the lead and our rifles
all ready for action, We advanced on
the cabin. We agreed to keep within
10 to 20 feet from each other and We
all understood the password that We
were to use.
Davies then dropped on his hands
and knees and crept forward exam
lining and looking for tracks. / was
in front of him. Mcdonald was to
guard on both sides of him and
Haney was to keep watch in the rear.
Soon we advanced within 80 yards
of the cabin and could see it plainly.
He heard the first shot from the rear
and we all crouched and l said, I
believe they got Haney'
Davies said, He must have gone
back We all crouched in the trail
and l said, 4 am going back to help
him. was about to leave when two
more shots were heard. l then re-
peated, Boys, l do not know what
you are going to do but l am going
back to help John Then, by hiding
behind trees, l steadily advanced to
within about IS feet of where Haney
lay and / could smell the smoke Of
the guns.
Mcdonald and Davies remained
behind cedar tree at the foot of the
ridge from which started my ad-
vance up the hill toward Haney. I
saw man shooting at me and just
at this time Mcdonald turned his dog
loose. The dog ran over to where
Haney was lying, and then ran
toward the man who was shooting
from behind the tree. This man shot
three shots at the dog and killed
him. The shooting at the dog at
tracted the attention of the man on
the ridge who then poured forth \
volley Of shots.
Davies and Haney had often
hunted together and they had a ia
mfliar whistle they had agreed to use
when they were separated from each
other or needed help. Davies gave
the whistle-there was no answer.
Then they had also agreed, II they
were not able to answer each other
by whistle, they would shoot their
guns twice. The whistle was unan-
swered and Haney did not shoot his
gun, SO we felt satisfied that he was
dead.
II saw the man move behind a
tree and knew he was coming after
me-" continued King. 1.-THE others
called to me to come back, but
mOtioned them to come up where
was so we could attack the others.
They did not do so and l saw it
was suicide to stay, so l went back
down the hill and avoided being shot
by running from behind one tree to
another. 1t was about 2 O'Clock Sat
urday afternoon when the shooting
took place and we made the return
12-mile journey by that afternoon.
1--WE then went to Centralia and,
about half hour after we arrived
there, the posse which had shot
Haney returned. The first thing they
said was, We got Red Then they
told how they went in the same as we
did, how they covered Haney with
two rifles, told him to hold his hands
up, because they thought he was an
/. w. w., and how he started to hold
up his hands and then refused. One
man shot him, and he rolled over
against tree. and when he Clancy
attempted to rise, one of the men
shot twice more"
The man who did the shooting -
all in good faith, since he thought
Haney was an l. w. Wis pros
trated with grief. Everyone states
that it was entirely an accident and
was caused by the two posses not
having clear understanding OF
where they were to meet 1t Is
thought that there was no one in
