Of the case was that the death was ac-
cidental
When Sheriff Glare arrived on the
scene, he found four or five persons al
ready assembled, and saw Smith bend
ing over the dead man, trying to raise
him up from the gutter. When the
physician had pronounced him dead
Smith arose and inquired: us he
dead?" Upon receiving a second affir-
NATIVE answer, he turned to the sheriff
and said IT hit him and knocked him

Mr.. BRAZIL came home Friday even
ing and met his people with the usual
pleasant greetings, as told the Spy man

Both parties are of a peaceful charac-

townspeople. 1t was that of purely ac-
cidental DEATH and with no motive
whatever on the part of Thomas Smith
to slay his comrade.
