caused by a heavy tie falling on his
leg and injuring him so that he was
laid up for three months from the ef-
fects of the injury and after the wound
had been healed he seemed unable to
regain his health and strength. He
told several of his friends within the
past few days that that was the last
time they would see him, so he had evil
IDENTIFY p~remeditated taking his life.
After his arrival at the ranch he was
taken around to see the place and was
very much pleased and seemed happy
and in good spirits. When the brother
left the room for a moment. he grasped
a pistol and placing it to his forehead.
pulled the trigger and sent the ball
crashing through his brain. He died
soon after. An inquest was held at
