warden that Slug Moore was near his farm,
and he had the satisfaction of knowing when
he replaced the receiver, that an automobile

However, by the time he left the store and
started back to the farm, half hour had been
consumed, and he began to feel vaguely

Bills eye wandered to the bows and arrows
which they had laid aside before eating. He
felt sure that Slug Moore's revolver wouldn't
shoot accurately more than 80 or 40 yards.
He and the other boys could hit an archery

they keep the convict away from the house
by using the weapons with which countless

Moore saw the dog and halted in his tracks.

It was on a Sunday afternoon

out over woodland trails to put
an end to barbarouS forays of the
warriors in the mountain regions
Of Central Pennsylvania.
"Injun signs" were many, in

warriors in the vicinity. Phillips
and his men barricaded them
selves in a farmhouse at the base
Of TusSey Mountain just before
they were attacked by a large

The first attack was beaten
back. The Indians reSorted to
burning arrows. In a short time
the farmhouse was ablaze.
Captain Phillips agreed to sur
render. The Indians agreed to
spare the rangers lives, disarmed
them, and then massacred them.
