suspitions and convinced him that he entertaained some design on his life. He
was always watching Larrabee when he was outside the garrison, and sometime
followed him in the guise of friendship.This continued until he could stand it
no longer. In a deep gully where beaver resorted Aggawam set his trap,Larrabee
sent a bullet through his head while he was removing a beaver from his trap. He
buried the indian with his gun in the Valley were he fell. (there is more)
