When Crawford returned from church and saw the stable door open he tracked the mule to the public road. He mounted another mule and with his gun gave chase. Green was about 8 miles from Lancaster when Ciawford hove in sight, and he tied the mule and hur riedly began to put the friendly woods between them, which he succeeded in doing in time to prevent a shot from the gun of his raging p ursuer.
