When I got haif way down I looked round and saw that Lane come out from the door and stood Watching-us pistol in band. We were gone from five to ten minates, and on returning foud him in the same place still flourishing his pistol. All went into the saloon with the intention of getting some beer except Lane, who went around the corner of the saloon. We were afraid that he would fire through the windows as he had fired in the saloon once before. Robert Cleaves went into the brewery and got a double barreled shot gua, the one before the jury. He cocked the gun with the intention of making Lane give up ‘the pistol. We stood talking a minute or two atthe door of the saloon, when Hanly took the gun and he and Cleaves went around the saloon in search of Lane, I following. We found him in the w shed, leaning on a bench with his pistel in front of him: Cleaves went up to him and wanted him to give up the pistol or leave. In the meantime I heard him cock the pistol.
