The Skinners would collect cattle under some pretence, for instance, alledging it to be for their safety and protection when the Refugees were up, or making some such excuse - then take care to get their drove into an ambuscade of the Lower Party. A sham fight would ensue. - the drove would be sure to be taken and perhaps some of the Skinners, while the others would escape sometimes with the reputation of having made a brave defence. I don't know anything of Finch or Wardell said to have been from Bed- -ford and killed at Chappequa by a party under Capt. Samuel Kipp.
