on Davis boat and Davis, during the quarrel,
seized an ak lying in pile Of wood, but could
not haulitout. He then seized q stick of wood
and advanced on Balmer. who retreated
to his boat, and, taking down his rifle, warned
Davis back. Davis continued to advance
across the plank connecting the two boats,
and just as he stepped on Balmer's boat the
old man perforated him at six-foot range
the ball going in Davis right side and coming
out at the LETT side. "He was fencing me tn,''
said the old man, explaining It, land was
compelled to fence him OUT" Davis dropped
after taking few steps. His wife, the only

and picked him off as Davis was saving
wood. Constable Whayne arrested Ba1mer,
who is now in Jail here he says he is from
Louisville, and so was Davis, and that q re-
ward Is standing for the capture Of Davis for
