to Deans, on the Bladensbuts road, to dance
and he returned with Day and others. When
they reached the house, after some wood had
been cut to get breakfast Day proposed to him to
get his pistol and he replied that ii wasn't loaded,
and went up and brought it down. He supposed
the pistol was not loaded, but when he came out
Day, who was standing about six feet away
stepped quickly in front and playfully said.
Shoot me-" At this same instant the load was
discharged, the ball passing entirely through
Days head, and he feR dead instantly.

him. At sos o'clock Tuesday afternoon an
