are, now, forgotten. When the
party arrived at the house of the
| Pelhams, true to their threaten
ings, one of them attempted to
shoot Casey. Casey, however,
was too quick for him and seized
and disarmed him, and taking
him out of the house, threw him
upon the ground, sat astride his
body, and calmly awaited devel-
opments. Montgomery, in &C.
cordance with the custom of
that day, wore his hair plated
in long cue. which hung down
MS back. As soon as he entered
ne house, one of the men, in
stantly, sprang forward, seized
the cue, wound it around his
arm, and with his free hand,
commenced a terrific battery up
on Montgomery's head and face.
Montgomery, who was thus ia
ken at a great disadvantage,
was, for the time being, render
ed nearly helpless to defend or
to extricate himself from the d.
lemma. The Butler boys became
alarmed at the turn of af-
fairs, drew their knives and
made ready to stand their ground
and to give assistance in a des,
perate way. Casey, however,
knew Montgomery's capabilities,
and did not become excited nor
move from his position astride
the PROSTATE Pelham, and direct
ed the young Buffers not to in
terfere nor attempt to give any
assistance to Montgomery, and
assured them, that all would yet
be we'll. The struggle between
Montgomery and his adversary
went around and around the
room, for a time, with Mont
gomery, gradually breaking the
hold upon his cue. Finally, with
a great effort, he succeeded in
breaking Pelham's hold upon his
cue, accompanying the breaking
with terrific blow in Pelham's
face which sent him across the
room and against the wall in the
back of the fire place in the
chimney. Before Pelham coulC
recover, Montgomery bestowed
one furious kick after another
upon Pelham's face, and thus
| completely put him out of the
fighting. The other man at
, tempted to interfere to rescue
his companion from the terrific
pounding, which Montgomery
was bestowing upon him, but the
young Buffers, with the courage
of their race, warned him not tx

him to desist. A neighpor
