i of jumping over a log which lay in his
i way, the hammer of his gnu caught in
I some manner, discharging the contents
: of both barrels into his body, tearing
away almost his entire right hip. shat
tering off his righf arm. lacerating hi
breast, neck and face in a terrible
manner, and blowing outjiis rigtit eye.
Ib fell tlcad without uttering a word,
and his shattered remains were taken
to Sheridan. The occrurencc has cast
a gloom over the community. The
young man was about eighteen years
of age.
