The shot only wounded the man and the horse started to run. After he had went about 300 yards from the house, Narcelle fell from the saddle ;ftid from indications it | is supposed he died sometime that night.

After reaching home, his son brought in the horse which was ridden by Xarcellc and Tommy turned to Moress and remarked. “I guess 1 got him all right. Dead birds tell 110 tales.”There were several persons who claim to have heard the sounds of the shooting but as far as can be ! learned there were no eye, witness-1 es to the affair. Moress states that he was about 40 yards distant when he reached the house, no one but Irish Tommy was in sight and that nothing was said of the happenings until the next morning.
