  1. (continued from previous page)
    following night, he put a six-peny piece in a cartridge and he fired on the hare, when she reached the cow. He saw her lame going off, and he followed blood into a house of Rountree's and there he saw a old woman bleeding beside the fire. He then knew, it was the woman he shot. She was sitting and she would not rise for him.
