Monday night he went home a little earlier than usual, and tound the house dark, but to his surprise a strange voice could be heard mside and beeing strongly convinced that all was not right, stepped cautiously up to the front door which steod open about one foct. He called to know who was in, and the answer came from his wife that there was a stran- ger within ,and she wished he weuld make him get out. Mr. Jeffreys an- swered that her request should be comp.ied with and accordingly drew his pistol, and with his lett hand struck a match, when he was con- fronted by a man giving his name as Doc.

They had not preceeded far until the med- icine man refused to go turther. At this juncture quite a dispute arose between them and during the melee Mr. Jeffreys struck him oyer the head with his pistol knocking inm down, the hck causing the pistel to discharge. The Marshal came up about this time and stopped farther proceedings by tuking Rivers away.
