sou bad probably been playing with
his rifle which he keeps at home.
The opinion that the older boy
might have accidentally shot his
brother was also expressed by several
of the neighbors to Mr. I-'ortniiller
last night but the coroner decided
that death was caused bv a strav bul
let from the hills. The decision of
the coroner was strengthened bv an
examination oi the Winchester 30-30
rifle owned by Mr. Cochdl which was
found to be empty and evidentlv
hadn't been fired tor some time.
