agreed to let the child stay with
his father, Gardonhire, after tho
death of its grandmother, who
hud raised it. McClain, it seems
wanted the child as a field hand
and went to a magistrate to have
it restored to its mother. The
magistrate refused to interfere,
?o on Sunday evening at dust McClain,
and t?vo neighbors, Will
Jonos and Joe Gaines, all armed,
went to Gardcnhire's place about
ten miles distance from tho McClain
place, to take tho child by
forco.
Whon they rode up Gardenhiro
asked what they wanted and McClain
replied that ho wanted the
child. Gardonhire closed tho
door and Burrell McClain walked
up to tho house and placing
