Hundreds of shots were fired, but there was little light to guide the .Night Riders' aim and not one of the bullets hit him. Reaching the shore he got behind a stump, where he remained till the shooting ceased. Then he made as good time as he could through the forest. ' When daylight came he got his < bearings from the sun, but was afraid " to return to Walnut Log for fear he would be captured again. Turning toward the west, he made his way to the cabin of a woodman, where he got food and rested until morning, when he came here.
