The little bone was the cause of al] the trouble. It had been carried by the force ot the ball into my chest, and was constantly working around, It made its way to my back and ap- peared just under the skin, but the physicians failed to extract it and it commenced a return trip to the breast here it made its appearance after a long time, but was not cut out, and it returned again to my back. Three times it went through my breast and reutrned, each time showing its pres- ence under the skin by enlargement, which, when cut, discharged the ac- cumulated pus.

Spencer, who was the victim: He had been in town and met a man in the Finish Saloon who seem- ed anxious to be sociable, and he took a drink with him. The noticed his cough, and told him he could give him something that help it, and gave him a powder, which he took. He soon had a strange feel- ing in his head and got on his horse and started for home. Just west ot the cemetery he was overtaken by horseback, who asked him to change aten dollar bill. He told them he did money enough with him to do it, when one otthem called him a d—— liar, =f- terwhich a scuffle ensued in) which Spencer was thrown or fell from his horse.
