Humphreis then dragged his dying victim out and placed his body in the furnace. Parties near by ran to the rescue and pulled Bryant out, but he was dead, being horribly burned, Humphreis has fled to the mountains, where he is armed, and defies arrest. He will be taken dead or alive, and if taken alive he will be speedily lylnchcd.
