swamp country near uxbridge following a fierce gunfight in a barn with a farmer about 3 am thursday morning the five men were surprised by the farmer jack manley while they stood outside mauleys barn as soon as they saw the farmer they opened fire manley who was carrying a 22 rifle dropped to the ground and returned the fire in all manley fired between 10 and 15 rounds at the rustlers and he drew six or seven shots from the gang manley told police one of the gang who was near a truck jump ed into the vehicle and drove off leaving his companions stranded when they realized they had been doublecrossed they fled into the swamj manley ran to the home of a neighbor and called provincial constable v proctor of uxbridge proctor summoned help and drove to the manley farm a short time later

gun went out to investigate he was met by a fusillade of bullets as soon as he got outside it is believed the wouldbe rustlers returned later to the barn even while the police were search ing the neighborhood at least manley is convinced there was something hidden in the barn probably loot from the bradford bank holdup but opp officers and others who sweated to help pitchfork all that hay around believe the men were nothing more mysterious than cattle rustlers pc proctor reported there is no doubt they did go back to the barn all right they were lost or else they were looking for some thing but 1 think they were look ing for their rifle they shot at manley theres no doubt about that either but they were rustlers after beef weve had quite a bit of rust ling around here during the last two years he added manley lost two cows one of which was found with a rope around its neck where it had broken away after being tied const proctor knew the men had returned to the barn after he
