got his revolver. Tucker waited aud when Vail
had come they lay down together on the grass
in Mr.. fuckers yard. In q few minutes pis-
tol shot was heard, when Tucker arose and
said, Bob you have killed me.n He then
fell and died almost Instantly. The ball enter
cd his body in the wright breast, and taking
downward course, came out of his back Just
below the right shoulder blade. 1t must have
passed through his heart as death was almost
instantaneous. Vail has the reputation, in the
neighborhood, OF having carried fire arms and
other concealed weapons for some time past and
OF being very reckless in the use of them. A
