and escape the white man for they are many they are like the running waters. it is well enough for us to say that we are not afraid of death. I have often said that. but I tell you where to take the matter up. I see I used my words in too much haste life is sweet I know it- you all know it. you can not deny it. the soldiers and Bogus Charley Hooker Jim and unclear Jim will be here tomorrow to take you all to Fairchild's fanch. I will help them it is best for all of you to gve your selves up quit fighting. we will be well treated I know it- if you men resist tomorrow I will shoot some of you. you have to be taken it is better for you all to be taken by your own men then to be taken by the soldiers. an old man bent in form stepped? to one side and said my children let us all go with scarface charley in the morning he have saved us. his words are true I am tired I do not want to be shot. I have not taken any hand in any of your battles yet and I wont either so let us be ready to go to the enemys camp tomorrow. you see the soldiers willl not hurt us they did not hurt this man pointing to scarface. I know some of us will be hung but what of it. use just as well rest a little before we die anyway
