Of age.
Phillips came in from camp and
went to the home of the girl. She re-
sided with her mother, Mrs. H. Phil

toned to make his home there when
in town. Phillips seemed to be very
morose, and the girl joked him about
it.
The man deliberately shot the girl
in the back. She fell to the floor on
her face, with a moan, and, turning
over, reproached him. She died in a
few minutes.
