wood for Latrobe, had drawn axes and
other supplies, and then gone to work
for another person. Defendant went
to where Kelly was making rails, and
gothic axes. A dispute arose, and
defendant took out his revolver, and
houriShed it around, and at one time
pointing it towards K~lly.
There were two indictments; one
for carrying a concealed weapon, and
one for pointing dangerous weapon.
The Court held that the defendant
was justified, as prudent man, en-
gagged in the business in which he
was then engaged, in carrying revol-

indictment; but he must be held
guilty for the pointing, and Was fined

committed to Jail until fine and cost,
