Emanuel chanced to have an ax in his hand and like a llash, brought it down on his brother's head, tho keen edge striking an inch or two above the eye. Both blows fe 1 almost simultaneously aud were thought to be equaky severe in their work. Toe men dropped to the ground tozether and were supposed to bo killed.
