Will stopped to examine and look ed in every direction, but he could not discern anyone in sight at any place. The shot must have come from some distance, for if the one : firing it had been any place near by, they could have been seen. Mr. Haffke thinks it just an accidental shot for he had not cause for be lieving that any one should have in tended to have shot with intention of doing any harm to him.
