THE RICHMOND PLANET NOT GUILTY OF MURDER VOLUME XLV, NO. 52 NO BURR Instruction Instructions Every homicide in Virginia in the absence of other evidence, is presumed to be murder in the second degree, and in order to elevate the offense to murder in the first degree, the burden of proof is upon the Commonwealth and in order to reduce the offense to manslaughter, or to show justification or excuse, the burden is upon the accused to introduce evidence to show extenuating circumstances, or justification, unless it appears from the evidence of the Commonwealth. (2) The Court instructs the jury that malice in law may be inferred from the use of a deadly weapon. (3) The Court further instructs you that to constitute a willful, deliberate and premeditated killing, it is not necessary that the intention to kill should exist any particular length of time prior to the actual killing. It is only necessary that such intention should come into existence for the first time at the time of such killing. The Court instructs the jury that the law of self-defense is the law of necessity and the necessity relied upon to justify a killing must not arise out of the prisoner's own misconduct. (5) The Court instructs the jury that if they believe from the evidence that W. B. Burroughs, the accused killed Sharpe under a reasonable belief that his own life was in danger and that such danger was imminent or that he was in danger of serious bodily harm, as the facts and circumstances reasonably appeared to him at the time, he was excusable in so doing, although such danger was unreal. The question for the jury in this case was not whether the taking of the life of Sharpe might have been safely avoided, but whether the accused under the circumstances might reasonably have believed and did believe, it was necessary to shoot as he did resulting in the death of Sharpe, in order to save his own life or avoid serious bodily harm; then and in that event the jury should find the accused not guilty. The jurors are instructed that if they believe from the evidence that the accused started firing at the deceased in self-defense, then they are further instructed that the accused had a right to continue to shoot at the de- The Law (1) This is the law. (2) This is the law. (3) This is the law. This is the law. Did the alleged necessity to kill James Sharp arise out of the prisoner's (W. B. Burrough's) own misconduct? By his own sworn testimony, stenographically reported it did. Legally, he could not get on James Sharp's premises without violating Article 1. Section 10 of the Constitution of Virginia. This was misconduct on his part. He had neither a general warrant nor a search warrant. He wore citizen's clothes and he did not display his badge. Section 23 of the State Prohibition Act roads: 23. WHEN OFFICERS MAY BREAK AND ENTER HOUSES "If any house, building, boat car or other place as in herein before mentioned, the sale, offering, storing or exposing for sale of ardent spirits is carried on clandestinely, or in such manner that the person or persons ensued therein cannot be seen or identified by the officer or officers charged with the execution of a warrant, under any section of this act any such officer may, whenever it is necessary for the arrest, or identification of the person or persons offending, or or seizing such ardent spirits, break open and enter such house, building, boat, car or place, or any room or part of any of them." (Code Section #419; Id. Section 29.) (5) This is the law, but it is applicable to a legal arrest made elsewhere than in a citizen's own home, where a citizen is surrounded by the guarantees of the Constitution of Virginia and those of the Constitution of the United States, which entitle him to protection in his life. Liberty and pursuit of happiness "with none to molest him or make him afraid." H's and G. and M. p. 95 says "if the party slaying made the first assault he must out the combat and retreat as far as he safely can. "Nothing herein contained shall be construed so permit the issuance of general warrants whereby an officer may be commanded to search suspected places without evidence of RICHMOND ,VIRGIN1A, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 3 1928 ceased as long as it reasonably appeared to him from his standpoint that there was still danger of losing his life or suffering serious bodily harm at the hands of the deceased. The accused is to be judged by the circumstances and conditions as they reasonably appeared to him at the time. (6) It was not necessary that such danger did in fact continue to exist provided you believe from all the evidence that it reasonably appeared to the defendant from his standpoint that such danger continued to exist. (7) The Court instructs the jury that if they believe from the evidence that the accused was discharging what he reasonably believed to be a lawful duty and engaged in a lawful act, he need not retreat, but may repel force by force, if need be to the extent of saying his adversary. This is justifiable defense. (8) In this connection, the Court tells you that if they believe from the evidence that Officer Burroughs approached James Sharpe for the purpose of arresting him and informing him that he was a police officer then it was the duty of the said James Sharpe to submit to the officer even though James Sharpe had committed no crime and the officer, had no just reason for arresting him as a matter of fact. (9) The Court instructs the jury that an officer in the performance of his duty as such stands on an entirely different footing from an individual. (10) He is a minister of justice and is therefore entitled to the peculiar protection of the law and the respect of citizens as such. (11) (11) The Court instructs the jury that in order to convict the accused as charged in the indictment, the evidence must not only be consistent with the guilt of the accused, but it must be inconsistent with every reasonable hypothesis of the innocence of the accused, and if said evidence is consistent with any reasonable hypothesis of his innocence, then they must find him not guilty. a fact committed, or to seize any person or persons not named or whose offense is not particularly described and supported by evidence." (Code Section 4612; 1916 p 215; 1918 p 577, Section 22). (6) This is the law. (7) This is the law. (8) This is the law. See Article 1 Section 10 and H's G. and M. p. 95. (9) This is the law. It is also the law that a citizen who has committed no crime and who has not been suspected or having done so by any evidence present or implied and who is resting quietly after nightfall and after a day of honest toll as such stands on an entirely different footing from an individual who has habitually violated the law... Section 17. "It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to resist, impede, or obstruct, or in any manner to hinder or delay any legal officer having in his hands any search warrant, issued by any officer of this State having the right to issue the same, under the provisions or this act, in the execution of such warrant. Any person so resisting, suspending, obstructing, or in any way hindering or delaying any officer in the execution of a legal search warrant in his hands shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." (Code Section 4614 Id. Section 23.1.2.) (10) This is the law and it might be added that W. B. Burroughs, according to his own statement was a minister of injustice and by his own illegal act was not entitled to the peculiar protection of the law and the respect of citizens as such. But this was a question for the jury to decide and it was decided in the light of the information before them. (11) This is the law. W. B. Burroughs statement, stenographically reported will clear up this phase of the situation. The specific provisions of the State Prohibition Law settle it. Here it is: "If there be no compaints on oath that ardent spirits are being manufactured, sold, kept, stored or in any manner hold, used or concealed in a particular house or other place, violation of the law, the justice of peace, police justice, circuit or city judge and mayor of any city or town to whom complaint is made is satisfied that there is reasonable cause No amount of suspicion of guilt, however grave or strong, is sufficient to find a verdict. Nor is it sufficient that the evidence shows a preponderance in favor of guilt, the burden being upon the Commonwealth to prove every necessary element of the crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt—and if after consideration of all the facts and circumstances in this case, you have a reasonable doubt as to any of these matters, it is your duty to give the accused the benefit of such doubt and acquit him. (18) The Court instructs the jury that in order to entitle the accused to an acquittal on the ground of self-defense, the accused is required to sustain his plea of self-defense only to the point that the evidence in support of it when considered along with the other evidence in the case raises in the minds of the jury a reasonable doubt of his guilt.

VIRGINIA NOV 4 1928 STATE LIBRARY THE MINISTERS' CONFERENCE ADOPTS. NEW PROGRAM. The Ministers' Conference of Richmond and Vicinity offers its members and visitors an interesting series of studies during the coming sessions. Departing from its usual custom the programme committee recommended a series of discussions dealing with the parables of Jesus. Ministers and students of the Bible should find these studies helpful, and those who teach in the Sunday-school have an opportunity of obtaining information of value—they are especially invited to attend. Last Monday the parable of "The Sower" was discussed. Dr. A. W. Brown, the erudite pastor of Sixth Mt. Zion opened the subject. Dr. Brown held that Jesus adopted the parabolic method of teaching because the people had been excited over the miracles performed by the Master, and were in danger of missing the fundamentals. Applying this thought to present-day methods of Kingdom Building, Dr. Brown held that our revivals were in danger of creating an excitement, which in turn produced only temporary results. To this, Dr. A. S. Thomas, veteran theologian, took exception. A friendly debate followed during which the thought was developed that the parable portrayed four types whose reception of the Word produced results in keeping with the state of their minds and hearts. The effort of Dr. Brown was received with thanks and the Conference looks eagerly forward to the next discussion. To the delight of the brethren, the president, Rev. J. E. Fountain, B. Th., arrived at the place of meeting in a new Model "A" Ford Sedan. We are happy to congratulate our president upon his good fortune and hasten to say that the beauty of his new car is but an outward expression of his inward spirit of progress, forwardness and modernity. Under his able leadership the Conference has grown in attendance and developed in spirit. Meetings at Ebenezer Baptist Church each Monday at noon. We invite the public. BROOKLYN, N.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA America on Verge of New Air Era, Says First Woman to Fly Atlantic FWO The time is near when flying fields will be as common as golf links and tennis courts, predicts Amelia Earhart, who believes America is now on the eve of a surprisingly rapid development in aviation. In an article as aviation editor for Cosmopolitan, she makes the starting statement that last year two thousand planes were built for commercial purposes, and says that five thousand passengers and more than two million pounds of freight were by airplane in flights aggregating thirteen million miles. "Today an airplane is a more ordinary sight than was one of the noisy horeless carriages of twenty years ago," writes Miss Earhart, who believes aviation will soon supply automobiles and other transportation where speed is desired. "The matter of speed is interesting," she continues. "You know the average planes travel from perhaps encyter to a hundred and forty miles an hour. In theory it seems breathtaking; in fact it is quite the contrary. Thirty miles an hour in an automobile gives one a vastly greater sensation of speed than moving perhaps thrice that far in a large plane. On the highway every pebble passed is a speedometer. "In the air there are no trees, no telegraph poles or mile-stones to act as speed indicators—only a country-side below opening out before one leisurely fashion. Even the plane's velocity is greatly increased. The air is feeling high in the situation, if the plane is flying so far as it feels are concerned." The desire to jump which many people experience on a tall building, is full in an airplane, she writes, and it claims that added height makes it safer. A plane stalled for thousand feet in the air can be moved to a landing place within a raid of ten miles. Trouble in the air is not the comments and the comments and MT. TABOR BAPTIST CHURCH.

THE FUMBLE FAMILY POOR LITTLE PELLER Florida Increases Orange Trees 21-2 Times Over 1920 To Mcet Supply; Grapefruit Also Great Industry So Say We All By Albert T. Reid Thank goodness, these presidential elections are four years apart! ISLANDER SALON MY BUS BUNK RECOMMENDED LIBELOUS STORIES Albert T. Reid ADTOCASTER Foreign Countries Demanding Oranges and Grapefruit Grown in Land of Flowers. FT PIERCE, Fla.; In 1900 there were 4.025 000 bearing orange trees in Florida. Unofficial estimates now place their number at nearly ten million. The last published official estimate was in 1926 when 8,546 000 trees were reported. In other words the number of bearing orange trees in Florida has increased $2\frac{1}{2}$ times since 1926. Pursuing according to authorities the steadily increasing production seems to have and no appreciable effect upon the price. With some exceptions the price seems to have grown along with the crop for we find the average selling price on the large crop of 1926-27 not far out of line with the much smaller crop of 1945-46. This would indicate either that people are eating more citrus fruits or that production is merely keeping pace with the increased population and newly developed markets. Some experts claim due to factors demanders are increasing tastes for the citrus products. Average prices for these oranges from 1920 to 1926 inclusive were 1920: 1821: 1827: 1828: 1829: -84.65: 1923: -82.77: 1928: -84.89: -85.07: 1925: -84.47 Already shipment of Florida oranges to foreign ports by steamer from Tennessee has begun. Orange juice as a beverage is even now consuming many oranges. In addition to its tastes, it is especially recommended for health and is said by such exponents as Dr. Copeland to increase a healthy opportunity for growth. It is collected by many that the new trees growing into beering in Florida will yield millions to the wealth of the state. Florida is by far the largest producer of beering fruit in the Union. 1600 beering trees of beering crape fruit was estimated as 2,044,000 in 1950 as 2,044,000.

A grapefruit cannery was established recently at Miami, while the use of both grapefruit and oranges in candies and confections is rapidly spreading. There are now close to 13,000 citrus fruit growers in Florida with an investment of nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. To handle the large number of customers they are approximately 134 shippers owning some 300 packing houses and having a total investment of something like 20 million dollars. Florida orange are noted for their large amount of juice per weight of orange and the sugar ratio to citric acid, and their high phosphate and iron content.

Department of Our City. James Sharp, a respectable, hard working colored man was killed by Officer Walter B. Burroughs in his (Sharp's) own home August 3, 1928. Sharp had committed no crime and Burroughs had no warrant for his arrest or warrant to search his premises. Burroughs was chasing boys (juveniles) who are under the Juvenile Department of Virginia and subject to trial for offenses only in the Juvenile Court here. presided over by Judge J. Hoge Ricks. These boys had committed no crime. They were seen loitering on a corner and when spoken to ran from the officers. Burroughs mistook James Sharp, a man fifty years of age for a boy, William Branch and he killed Sharp. He admitted he beat him with a blackjack and shot him three times inside of Sharp's own house, the length of a room from the entrance. . Burroughs was in citizen's clothes. He did not display his badge of authority and he did not read a warrant to James Sharp. It was too dark to see a badge and he had no warrant with him to read. What do the liberal minded white citizens think of this happening and what will they do about it? Before killing, the accused must have retreated as far as he conveniently and safely can, in order to avoid the assault, and that not to invite a continuance of the assault, but from a real tenderness of shedding human blood. But in his own house one need not retreat, but the assault, as in other cases, must be immediately dangerous. If the party slaying made the first assault, he must quit the combat and retreat as far as he safely can. Otherwise no necessity will make the killing excusable, even though retreat is made impossible by the adversary's fierceness. He cannot allege a necessity, which he himself wrongfully occasioned. This is the law that did not go to the jury in the Walter B. Burroughs' case, the accused being charged with killing James Sharp after he had invaded his home in search of a juvenile, who admittedly had committed no crime and for whom he had no warrant, and in a house, for which he had no search warrant. Burroughs was acquitted. (Article I, Section I.) "Equality and Rights of Men: That all men are by nature equally tree and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety. The above is an extract from the Bill of Rights, Constitution Virginia and not from the Amendments in the Constitution of the United States. It was not read to the jury in the Burrough's case, concluded Wednesday hight, October 24, 1928 with a verdict of acquittal. (Constitutioh of Virginia, Bill of Rights Article I, Section 8) "That no man shall be deprived of his life, or liberty, except by the law of the land, or the judgment of his peers." This section was not read to the jury in the Burrough's case, concluded with a verdict of acquittal, Wednesday night, October 24, 1928. (Article I, Section 10) "General Warrants of Search or Seizure Prohibited. That general warrants, whereby an officer or messenger may be commanded to search suspected places without evidence of a fact committed, or to seize any person or persons not named, or whose offense is not particularly described and supported by evidence, are grievous and oppressive and ought not to be granted."

It was the hour set for the closing of the Shepherds Great Membership Drive. Promptly at eight thirty the Band headed the great street parade which was made up by the candi- dates for membership in the Order. This torchlight parade was an im- spring sight. These candidates were taken over some of the principal streets of Richmond and back to the Shepherds Headquarters, Sixth and Leigh Streets, where they were initiated into the mysteries of the Order. The candidates both men and wom en seemed to have entered heartily into the spirit of the occasion and exhibited unmistakable sigas of pleasure. The music of the Shopperds Band attracted a large number of people who witnessed the parade. Deputies Susie J. Williams and Susie H. Robinson had charge of the initiation, which was the largest ever held in new Headquarters. Gen eralissimo Amos C. Clark had charge of the campaign meeting which abounded with enthusiasm. Both sides experienced some very tense moments while they checked up the final results. At the conclusion of the count the Reds came out victorious. Individual records will appear in next week's notes. The Shepherds Band is working hard on its Rally which is to take place on the Ebenzeer Baptist Church. A grand street parade will precede the exercises at the church.

About Your Health Things You Should Know John Joseph O. as, M.D. "Gland Treatment" "Why don't you try gland therapy?" and so often now that a brief talk may not be out of place. "Gland treatment" is not very new. The theory it is, that when a certain gland, or of glands within the human body, come incapacitated from disease or use, we should at once restore them by administering to the patient, the substance of similar glands taken from the animals; this procedure, we are assured, will rapidly regenerate broken-down human organism, and not like new. Therefore the quack! Upon his tables stand rows of bottles with curious labels, and filled with butt-sized discs of greyish color—some of them are kidney, some ovary, some tyroid, some liver, some spleen, and so on—all good for the corresponding gland in the patient, so good indeed, that gullible victims will gladly shell out from five to fifty dollars per "course" to the "great specialist" whose picture peering thro a microscope, we see so often. Will some folks ever learn better? A few glands—very few—are known by educated, experienced physicians, to be valuable, through their extracts, in treating certain ailments successfully. Some of these are utterly unknown to laymen, and, the advertising quack is fully as ignorant. The reader may well take this to heart: No "tablet" that is marketed to the public through commercial channels by advertising, is either worthy of faith or the per-good money it costs the pur-The field is a broad one—for impostor.

In general, overcurtains should hang to the floor, undercurtains to the window sill, and straight draperies should be weighted to keep them from billowing out into the room. Bands of self material finished with a tailored rosette are always appropriate for ti-backs. Usually, when a valance is used, it is best to have it only slightly shaped, not cut out in sharp points or scallops. Full curtains are very effective when simply French pleated at the top and used without a valance or cornice treatment. Curtains for French doors should always be shirred at both top and bottom and stretched tightly on round or flat rods. Opaque glass curtains hung on a traverse cord eliminate the need for window shades.

Cast of Principal Characters in This Thrilling Story by Zane Grey Baldy's Cold which is the greatest warmth So it was in him then—a inherited fighting instinct—a blood lust—a driving intensity to kill. He was the last of the Duanes—that old fighting stock of Texas. But not the memory of his dead father, nor the pleading of his soft-woiced mother, nor the warning of this uncle who stood before him now had brought so much to Duane realization of the dark passionate strain in his blood. It was the recurrence, a hundredfold increased in power of a strange force from that for the last of his taken possession of him. "Yes, Cal Bain's in town, full of whisky, an 'huntin' for you," replied the elder man gravely. "It's the second time," muttered Duane, as if to himself. "Son, you can't avoid a merlin. Leave town till Cal sobers up. He not it in it for you when he's not " "But what's he want me for?" demanded Duane. "To insult me again! I won't stand that twice." "He's got a fever that's rampant in Texas these days, my boy. He wants gunplay. If he meets you he'll try to kill you." Here it stirred Duane again—that bursing gush of blood, like a wind of flame shaking all his inner being, and subsiding to leave him strangely chilled. As towns go, Wellston was small enough, but important in that unsettled part of the great State because it was the trading center of several hundred miles of territory. On the main street there were perhaps fifty buildings, some brick, some frame, mostly adobe, and one-third of the lot, by far the most prosperous, were saloons. From the road Duane turned into the street. It was a wide thoroughfare, lined by hitching rails, and sailed horses, and vehicles of various kinds. Duane's eye ranged down the street, taking in all at a glance, particularly persons moving leisurely up and down. Not a cowboy was in sight. When he came to within fifty pieces of a saloon he swerved out to the middle of the street, stood there for a moment, then went back and back to the sidewalk. He used on in this way the length of the stock. White was standing in the door "I'm waiting on you, Cal," replied Duane. Bain's right hand stiffened—moved. Duane threw his gun as a boy throws a ball underhand—a draw his father had taught him. He pulled twice, his shots almost as one. Bain's big Colt boomed while it was pointed downward and he was falling. His bullet scattered dust and gravel at Duane's feet. Bain fell loosely without contortion. When he came to the gate of his home and saw his uncle there with a mettlesome horse, saddled, with canteen, rope, and bags all in place, a subtle shock pervaded Buck's spirit. It had slipped his mind—the consequence of his act. But the sight of the horse, the look of his uncle recalled the fact that he must now become a fugitive. "I am a murderer," said Duane, shuddering. "No, son, you're not. An' you never will be. But you've got to be an outlaw till time makes it safe for you to come home." Duane, with blurred sight and contracting throat, gripped his uncle's sand and made him a wordless farewell. Bald's Colt beaten this night by the armoured Bald's Colt Then he leaped astride the black and rode out of town. When the heat of the day began to be oppressive, and hunger and thirst made itselfmanifest, Duane began to look about him for a place to halt for the noon hours. The trail began into a road which was hard-packed and smooth from the tracks of cattle. He doubted not that he had come across one of the roads used by border raiders. He headed into it, and had scarcely traveled a mile when turning a curve, he came point-blank upon a single horseman riding toward him. "Mawinin', stranger," called the man, dropping his hand from his hip. "Howdy," replied Duane shortly. "I seen you ain't no ranger," called the rider, "an shore I ain't none." He laughed loudly as if he had made a joke. He was small and wiry, slouchy of attire, and armed to the teeth, and he bestrode a fine bay horse. He had quick, dancing brown eyes, at once frank and bold, and a coarse bronzed face. Evidently he was a good-natured ruffian. "My name's Luke Stevens, an' I hail from the river. Who're you?" said this stranger. Duane was silent. "I reckon you're Buck Duane," went on Stevens. "I heerd you was a bad man with a gun." This time Duane laughed, not at the doubtful compliment, but at the idea that the first outlaw he met should know him. "Wal, Buck," said Stevens, in a friendly manner. "I can't press 'in' on your time or company. I see you're headin' for the river. But will you stop long enough to stake a feller to a bite of grub? "I'm out of grub, and pretty hungry myself," admitted Duane. "Been pushin' your hoss, I see. Wal, I reckon you'd better stock up before you hit the stretch of country." He made a wide sweep to the south of his right arm indicating the southwest, and that was that in his action which seemed significant of a vast and barren region. "Stock up?" queried Duane thoughtfully. "Shore. A feller has just got to eat. I can rustle along without whisky, but not without grub. That's what makes it so embarrassed travelin' these parts dodgin' your shadow. Now I'm on my way to Mercer. It's a little two-bit town up the river a ways. I'm goin to pack out some grub. "Stranger, in this here country two's a crowd. It's safer. I never was much on this lone wolf dodgin', though I've done it of necessity. It takes a good man to travel alone any length of time. Why, I've been the sick I was jest achin' fer some ranger to come along an' me. Give me a gardner any day. Now mebbe you're not that kind of a feller, an' I'm above not presumin' to ask. But I jest declares myself sufficient." "You mean you'd like me to go with you?" asked Duane. Stevens grimmed. "Wal, I should smile. I'd be a particular proud to be braced with a man of your reputation." "See here, my good fellow, that's all nonsense," declared Duane in some haste. "Shore I think modesty becomin' a youngster," replied Stevens. "I a brag. "But every man who's lived along the Texas border remembers a lot about your dad. It was expected of you, I reckon, an much of your up was established before you threw your gun in just ahead that you was on the draw, an' when you ento lose with a gun why the figger on the ace of spades would cover your cluster of bullet holes. Thet's the word that's gone down the border. "It's the kind of reputation most sure to fly far an' swift ahead of a man I'll gamble on that. It's the land of in this country. An' the safest, too, the draw! I see now you're only a boy, though you're a shore a strappin', hunky one. Now, Buck, I'm not a spring chicken, an' I've been long on theudge, a little of my society waddle, but you none. You need to learn the country." There was something sincere and likable about this outlaw. "I dare say you're right," replied Dyane quietly, "and I'll go to Mercer with you." Next moment he was riding down the road with Stevens. "Stevens, have you get any money?" asked Duane. "Money!" exclaimed Luke blankly. "Say, I haven't owned a two-bit since—wal, for some time." "I'll furnish money for grub," returned Duane. "And for whisky, too, providing you hurry back here—without making trouble." "Shore you're a downright good pard," declared Stevens in admiration as he took the money. "I give my word, Buck, an I'm here to say I never broke it yet. Lay low an' look for me back quick." Presently Stevens rode out of sight into the town. Duane waited, hoping the outlaw would make good his word. Probably not a quarter of an hour had elapsed before Duane heard the clear reports of a rifle, the clatter of rapid hoofbeats, and yells unmistakably the kind to mean danger for a man like Stevens. Duane mounted and rode to the edge of the messuits. He saw a cloud of dust down the road and a bay horse running fast. Stevens apparently had not been wounded by any of the shots, for he had a steady seat in his saddle, and he riding struck Dune as admirable. He carried a large pack over the ground and he kept looking back. The shots had caused him to increased. Dune came over running and waving their arms. He spurred his horse and got in a swift stride so Stevens would not pass him. Presently the outlaw can lie in with him. Way just comin' out of the store," yelled Stevens. "Run plumb into a rancher who knew me. He opened up with a rifle. Think they'll chase us." They covered several miles before there were any signs of pursuit, and when horsemen did move into sight out of the cottonwoods, Dune and his companion steadily drew farther away. Stevens was pale and his face bone beads of sweat. The whole front of his shirt was soaked with blood. "Wal, who'n hell said I wasn't? Would you mind give' me a lift on this here pack?" Duane lifted the heavy pack down and then helped Stevens to dismount. The outlaw had a bloody foam on his lips and he was spitting blood. "Oh! why didn't you say so?" cried Duane. "I never thought. You seemed all right." "Wal, Luke Stevens may be a gabby as an old woman—at times—he doesn't say much. It wouldn't have done..."
