nei.hbor and his little with him. lie knock
ed at the door lightly, when she asked who 1t was
he said ut is who you sent for to-day" The
light IN the house was put out, the door opened,
and Immediately be received the contents ct a
pistol, ball, which proved afterwards to lave

ted home, but fell when about fifty yards FROM
his house; was earned homo by hisneighbor, and
died in about twenty four hours.
The woman, who is in Jail is named Mary
simpson, says she shot him for breaking in her
house; but the neishbar who accompanied Mr..
Budd, 1.-THE man killed. says he only knocked at
