He had laterally been sprayed with buckshot; and Dr. Sounders who marie the examination said the wounds were at least twenty-four hours old.

Mrs. Belcher told officer Potter thai she had made a dozen trips lo the spring during 'lie day and that he was not there an hour before the children discovered him. This led Policeman Potler to the opinion that his kinsman had been shot high upon the mountain, maybe in the Potter's Flats settlement, and thai he had crawled down the mountain and lost con- viousncss at the Belcher spring.
