Several years ago, when the
dead body of Cary Snider was
discovered near Bethany, close
by his side was found a revolver.
which had one shot fired. The
five cartridges remaining were
rusted into the chambers, and
not removed. A few weeks ago
the box containing Snider's ef
fects was thrown away, and
among the articles was the old
rusted hre arm. This was pick
ed up by a mechanic and for two
weeks it has had a gasoline bath.
Sunday it was taken out, oiled
and tried. Four of the car
tridges discharged, and one fail
ed to explode. The four shots
were snappy, bull-doggv, and
spiteful, and those who heard
them, harked back to the first
shot, that must have rung out
on the night air in the little dell,
where the bodv was found, al
most decayed, and where, but a
short time before life was taken,
more than likely Cary Snider
was telling his slayers, in that
gentle, insinuating yoice, "that
they must come through or there
would be trouble." And there
was trouble. Cary went to his
fathers; his girl-wife mourned
for a year or so and then mar
ried a festive traveling man; his
father was afterward killed in
an auto accident at Kansas City
and so time has whirled its
wheel and all recalled by four
spiteful explosions in a backyard,
brothers-in-lead-and-powder to
the venomous bark that snuffed
out a life some years ago. And,
come to think of it history
might have read differently had
the hammer that night struck on
that cartridge that failed to explode.
