pavement before Captain Kidd's tavern. In a few inutes his men who were sent off returned and reported that the enemy was coming. They came back full tilt. His other men who were standing around him broke for their horses. Colonel Magoffin ordered them to halt some two or three times I am not positive which, but they paid no attention to his command or order but ran, unhitched their horses and mounted them. Colonel Magoffin walked briskly to his horse after he found that his men would not halt. When Colonel Magoffin got to his horse the bridle was off. He unhithced the bridle from the fence and put it on his horse, and when he attempted to get up his foot either slipped or the stirrup leather broke I could not say which. Just at that time three Federal soldiers wheeled the corner of the court-house fence and just as they wheeled they hallooed "here they are," and fired. Well, there was from three to five pistol reports before I heard the report of the shotgun. Well, sir; there wee two of the three soldiers ran, riding as hard as their horses could go up Main street in pursuit of Magoffin's men, and fired some three or four shots after they passed where I was standing myself. I was standing right on the platform in front of Mr. Fischer's tore, right on Main street. The other soldier turned the norhtwest corner of the court-house fence and went up to Mr. Hoge's drug store. He was sitting there on his horse for a few minutes when there was some one came to his assistance and aided him to get off his horse. In a few minutes after that the whole town was alive with soldiers.
