yesterday about a dividing fence;
Myers forbade James to interfere
with the fence. This morning
they met and renewed the quarrel.
James advanced on Myers with n
fence rail. Myers shot James
and broke his arm, causing him to
drop the rail. James continued to
advance, and when in reach M Myers
struck him a stunning blow on the
head with his gun, breaking the
