In Ibe good old days when we were

powder and fat meat and, after serving
tine notice upon said neighbor and snlil
notice being Ignored, set out to uphold
the first low of nature, self defense.
The amount of execution that can hr
done by a wnd of fat meat on top of •
good charge of powder Is flminting
Wherever It strikes hair and Irlde dls
appear. It seldom If ever kills, bit'
leaves scars that time does not obliter
