That Phil- lips was at least of stoic disposition is indicated in that he held to his lawless course, despite the discom- fort of being hunted as one would hunt a rabid dog. In fact, he was daring to the point of impudence. The comment that his dead face bore a sneer is a true one. Besides the loads of shot which Ward Rousch sent into the back of the bandit's head, he also subsequently received la pistol ball through his head from side to side to make quite certain that he was through. His back was found peppered with shot, evidently re- 'ceived at McCall’s and his feet were blistered from much walking. Mrs. Leslie E.
