belonged to the company; Hagan said
he must have his bed, he must have
something to sleep on; Smith said:
81 am small man, and want my
rights; here is something that makes
me equal to big man," he struck his
hand or pistol on the counter; l don't
know which; Hagan says: Snow,
Smith, that makes me wild-your
pulling revolver on me-" Smith said:
81 did not pull it on you-only pulled
it to show it to you;" and Hagan said:
"No; you did not pull it on me, but
I'll always remember you for it,"
Hagan said: .sNow, shoot me. There
is my heart; blow it out. You haven't
the sand; you are too big coward;"
Smith said: "No, Charley, l don't
want to shoot you;" and Hagan said:
"You shoot and blow my heart OUT"
Smith said: "Don't make me shoot
you; don't egg coward on;"
Hagan pushed Smith away from
the counter with his hand
and said: "There is my heart. You
haven't sand enough to shoot" Mr..
Terry came in then, put his hand be-
tween them, and said: "Stop this fool
ishness, it has gone far enough" Ha-
gan said to Terry: Ego away, or III
put head on you;" Terry said: 'you
are not man enough;" Hagan then
turned to Smith, and kept on with his
talk; Terry stepped over toward me
and reached for his pipe and said:
"I'll have smoke, anyhow" paid
no more attention to Smith or Hagan;
thought it was all over, and had my
head on the counter, face down, watch
ing Terry, when l heard the shot; it
came from the right side; Smith stood
there; / started around to help Terry
pick up Hagan; did not see Smith go
out; did not see revolver in Smiths
hands; have not seen Smith since UNI
til to-day; I stayed part of the night
with the body; saw Scagin when lie
came in after the shooting; saw Smith
taking some goods out Of Hagan's tent
from the supplies of Wildman & Ha-
gan, to secure his pay; he (Smith)
told me he was taking the goods for
that purpose; think he took the blan-
kets as part of the supplies he was TAX
ing as security for his pay; was look
ing at Terry when the shot was fired.

on the 18th and 18th of August; have
been there since June; the night OF
the shooting was III bed in my tent;
when Terry left the tent, before the
, shooting, was in bed in the real
tent; Hagan came in to me before
went to bed, and asked for the blank.
cts; | told him Smith had taken them

. Terry with Hagan in his arms; thu
evening of the night of the killing
, Smith came to me and demanded hi
, pay in commissary stores, to secure
