The pursuit of the Swimmer and the Duck was unremitting, but for a long time unfruitful. It is supposed that while thus hunted, they must have been goaded on by want & hunger to irregularities. No one, however, for a long time could track them. At length information was gained by Stand Watie & some six or eight others, friends of the party of Eli Hicks (and among them Leonard Hicks, his cousin), that Swimmer was at a house in the neighborhood and alone.

Leonard Hicks fired; it was said, by accident. The rest fell back, thinking Stand Watie killed. The assailants remained outside & asked a parley. They endeavored to persuade the Swimmer to surrender. They assured him, if he would, he should be safe; that the surrender was only a form. But
