a horewhip and proceeded to administer
upon his shoulders severe flogging. |
Dent warned his antagonist that if he |
did not cease he would kill him. |

to the warning. Dent endeavored to |
screen himself behind his buggy, but
his opponent followed him up. Seeing
no escape, Dent drew revolver and
fired upon the attacking party, killing
him almost instantly. The accused |

in love-atfair. Dent had been re-

than his rival, which so incensed him
that he determined upon degrading him
in her eyes.
