working for Edmunds on the Hnsey ranch, but
quit and went to Meckling to work. He con-
tended that Edmunds owed him about 81 when
he quit. On the morning of July !, 1904, Ed
munds went to Meckling to make some pur-
chases. Williams met him and demanded the
balance Of his wages. A quarrel ensued but no
blows were struck at that time.
Shortly before starting home about the noon
hour, Edmunds picked up a ball bat at the sta
tton and carried it to his buggy. AS he was
unhitching Williams came across the street
| towards him. Edn,unds stepped to the buggy
| and grabbed at the bat, at the same time warn
ing Williams to keep away. The latter walked
| to within few feet Of Edmunds, but made nc
move as If to strike or do him bodily injury
! and said nothing.
Edmunds did not wait to see what was want
ed, but raised the bat and struck with all his
might the blow descending on Williams head
The young lived but few hours Edmund:
