ball. Every time he went after the ball
he returned on dOgtrot to his MASTER and
eleven times cut of thirteen he laid it at
his masters feet, being petted each time.
The other two times he dropped it about

rest the ball was placed on table, and
Grover. who was on chair. watched it as
hawk does chicken.
The ball was pushed from the table and
Grover sprang for it. He returned with it
to the chair on which he had been, and
while be still held the ball was called and
told to bring it here.' the speaker tapping
the table with his finger In moment Gro

him, and he pressed the revolver up
ward and fired. He did not know
what direction the bullet took nor what
became of the revolver, as he became
entirely unconscious after he had fired
and was surprised to learn that the re-
volver was found i'm Defiel's hand
when the trouble was ended
The inquest on the remains was to
have been held this afternoon at Bon
ney d Stewards undertaking rooms
but owing to Fay's critical condition
Coroner Horton decided to postpone il
