sociates in selfdefence. The boy
claims his life had been threat
ened. If that be true he should
have notified the authorities and
not have brought a gun. Had he
been unarmed he would not have

fight with man much his super
ior in age and strength. He re-
lied upon his gun and the law pre-
sumes he contemplated the natural
results OF his acts
