came down 10 the home OF the old folks
and took the gun ana went shooting al
rabbits (and it is said that she was an ex-
cellent marksman) and returned TO the
house about eight o'clock; then the old
lady told her about the gun kicking Su-
sic. Alice was perhaps six feet away
and took the gun, put it TO her shoul-
der, pointed it IN the opposite direction
from her mother and said: If she had
held it this way it wouldn't have kicked
her, and as she turned around 10 go n
to the house the gun was discharged
somehow and the whole load of number
four shot went into Mrs. Aliens neck, 2
little to the right Of the chin, literally
tearing away the jugular vein and almost
severing the head from the body. Within
five minutes she was cold in death. OF
course, all the family Is almost paral
yzed with grief; but Alice. the one whC
had the gun, is in q dangerous condition
mentally at the present time.
