Words ensued and without warning one of the negroes drew a revolver and fired on O'Connor. The other a second later shot at Pedy.

The negro doubled once on the huntsmen and made back toward the city.

He was finally brought to bay with a well-directed bullet, which caught him in the leg. DEATH AT MILMINE. William Gulliford, Native of England, Away, Aged 69 Years. Milmine, Sept. Gulliford died at his home in Milmine, 111., Sept.
