birdshot into the barrels OF the gun.
He then hunted up GULL and fired both
loads at him, completely filling his
legs from the hips down with the fine
lead. GULL, partially disabled as he
was, at once wrenched the gun out OF
the hands of his assailant and beat
him over the head with it, stunning
him and fracturing his skull. He then
got into his wagon and drove away,
leaving HOLMAN on the ground where
he was found by neighbor soon after.
