tinued their banter. Mallaclk became
enraged and dropping his gun, picked
up cane and went out into the road
where the GowoslSis were standing,
struck Steve violent blow on the arm.
owoki's father wrested the cane from
Mallacl and punished him quite Sc

broke away, returned TO the porch of
his house where he had left his gun
