That deponent then soon got to the south of Althouse's party of marauders, knowing where he should fall in with about twenty of the Militia ; during which time John Dean, Jacob Acker and Hendrick Romer had attacked the enemy and commenced firing upon them. This alarmed the Militia so that when the deponent arrived at the house where they were stationed he found about 25 men ready for the contest, but without an officer to command them. The Militia concealed themselves behind a stone wall near the road that Altliouse must pass with his men and the stock which he had taken. They were permitted to approach within about fifty yards before the Militia opened fire. Altliouse had divided his party, one part driving the stock while the main party was approaching the stone wall. Before the main attack was made John Dean and his companions, Jacob Acker and Hendrick Romer, had commenced their attack on the party driving the stock and had killed a man named Mike Hart. Immediately after Hart fell we opened fire, killing one and wounding three. We then sprang over the wall to attack them with the bayonet. Althouse gave us his fire as we were on the wall, by which John Bucannan was shot through the shoulder and Nicholas Banker through the thigh. Altliouse immediately abandoned his plunder, and retreated. We were there joined by John Dean and his companions, and after a runningfight of about four miles, we succeeded in killing or taking Altliouse and all of his men, except his Guide.
