While examining their new purchase, one
of them placed cap upon his, and poin-
ted it at his friend, sa.?ing he could kill
him at that distance, and snapped The pis-
tol. Ills friend then presented his. in
playful way, aud said he could kill him
The other replying that he could moi. He
snapped The pistol, it exploded, and bis
