Boyd found Jack I'ollard, a Montague onu in y drputy, and four other men, and to gether tba posse started out iu pursuit. After they bad traveled aoma ulna milea. Just a they were crossing particularly larel reach of prairie, the figure of a horse man suddenly appeared over tba ria of hill half a milt to the emit. It wa Charley Hughe, and bt bad bl Winchester at bla afaouldrr. Ting! ping', went two leaden balls, and two horses aud their riders were down iu a struggling, confused bean.

It waa found that two ponies were writhing In tbair death agonies, wbila their riders wert un hurt. Tbe distance was too great for any effective shooting In ret urn, aud. moreover, Hughes disappeared aa suddeuly aa ba had appeared. The posse, two teas In number, followed mora cautiously than before. When tbeyuext caught sight of their game, he fired ut them, and then, waving a quart bottle of whisky at them, shouted la sten torian tones: "Awful good old stuff, fellow tl Come on and take a drink, won't your" The pursuer reniemlatred Charley' locg range shooting and decided that they would not. All day long a running battle waa kept no. Nobody was hurt on either side, prin cipally becauattbe pursuers kept at a re apectfuldlstanca.

Finally all waa quirt. Next morning all was still quirt, and on In vesilgatton the officers found tbe barricade deserted. Tba river waa still dangerously blgb, but tbe two men bad swam It during the night. Hughes soon apprarrd ou th opposite sldt In full sight. Bending over, bt made certain gestures at tbt posse in a manner tbat might fairly be construed at contemptuous. He thought be waa out of gunshot, but Henry Newbury, ou of the posse, bad a long range buffalo gun. While Hughea waa still indicating by signs bis contempt fortht posae, Newbury raised bit sights and fired, tbe ball going Itetween Hu Libra' leg.
