Young and his wife and others were
visiting. Wednesday afternoon, Mrs.

were visiting at the ranch, started for
Rock creek. Just before the party
started for Rock creek, Young stated

rabbits for supper Merl Brackenber-
ry, who did not go with the crowd was
watching him. He went up a hill from
where the house is situated, disappear

returned in sight of the house. Mr..
| Brackenberry stated that Young was
about a quarter of mile from him
and at that time seemed to lean over
on the gun, and that in a moment he
! saw smoke from the gun and heard
the report.
AS soon as possible he was at the
scene of the tragedy, finding Young
must have discharged the gun with
the aid of a forked stick, as it would
have been impossible for him to have
done so otherwise The gun was
