the Um of the shooting. Mr. llrown
slated that the Indian, who had liee.i
drinking, went to Ihe place where
Wilson was standing. An argument
followed over a dime. Wilson theft
told Whlppoorwill to get out of the
room. At this Juncture, according to
Mr. Drown, the Indian reached Into
hi locket and drew out something
Which he held In his hand. The wit
ness tould not state what this article
wus. Wilson then took a pistol and
placed It on the counter. This act
brought forth a reply front- tha In-i
diuu lo the effect that "he ate them
things." " Wilson titan Okgnln (mtnrA
the Ini.lnn to leave. The Indian thi"H
oceanic enraged and made a grab for
lie- pistol with his left hand at the
ya-uc time swinging at Wilson with
bis right hand. The pistol tired, hirt
iliowu could not tell whether It was
n.i io ciilental discharge or whether
Ihe liigger. was pulled by Wilson.
The next wITYrcss who testified was
