the dog TO fght him and demand pay
ment tor the loss Of the animal. 1t was
while quarrellipg with Rulten that he
was shOt aud kIlle1. Rulten admits the
shooting, but says it was accidental. He
says that when Fletcher came toward
him with rock in his hand be lifted up
the gun from the ground and pulled
back the BANNER for the purpose of
frightening him. The gun had been
freshly oiled and the hammer slipped
from his grasp, crashing into the shell
and sending BILLY" Fletcher to bis death.
