feeding south toward his home, hav-

U the time were two dogs which
were greatly attached to their mas-
lor and for which he entertained a
warm affection. From the story told
it seems that the dogs were on one
ide of the road and their master on
he other as the car of Mr. Schoeman
wss approaching and Carl whistled
for the dogs, who started to cross the
road as the car was coming on. One
dog made it across safely while the
other was in the car's path when
the young man claims he cried to
S'-hoeman to stop, but which the
driver of the car failed to hear and
when the car had passed the dog lay
in the road kiled by the wheels of
tne passing over its body. This seem-
ed to have moved the master of the
animal to great anger as he is of a
high , strung temperament, and he
fired at the rear of the car, the shot
entering the back of the car and
