from him, is of the opinion that he must
have fallen down which caused the gun to
be discharged. Another man was either
with him at the time or found him shortly

clothing and some bedding. They remained
in this condition several days without food
DR. shelter. At last the children's stomachs
began to swell, and the father thought they
would die. He then killed the dog, which

20 the house and get sack OF flour, which
iept them from starving until relief came.
Nearly all their property was destroyed.
