On last Monday morning Willie Pearce, a young man of about nineteen, started out quail hunting with a shot gun through the snow. Wandering around he got near the dugout of Ed Lewis, neighbor, and went inside. An hoVir or so afterwards Lewis left the dugout and Agoing to his father's, near by, sent word by him to Pearce's parents that he had shot himself near his (Lewis') dugout.
