shots and that when he went to Gar

that they had bought Garinger's claim

perty, except his saddle horse; that
they paid him $3.50 in cash and that
after executing bill of sale, Garringer

Investigation showed that Garinger
had been shot through the region of
the abdomen with rifle; the bullet en-
