Joseph Eaton remained IN the room where he
was shot some thirty minutes and then went
into the house. Ia answer TO his wifs's ques-
lions regarding his uneasiness, he denied being

an examination until the doctor informed him
that Kelley was badly hurt, and for his fami-
ly's sake he must trust himself in his hands.
Herbert's first shot struck his brother IN tho

not necessarily dangerous wound; Kelly was

inches from where 1t entered. AT first the
physicians felt some hopes of bis ultimate re-
covery, but peritonitis developed during the
night, and tho following evening at $50 he
