was down on the shore of the lake. Paul had rowed the
boat to shore, but they'd left the body in it, waitin' for
Doc to come.
Doc examined the body and said they might as well
fetch it back to town. They was no use leavin' it there
or callin' a jury, as it was a plain case of accidental
shootin'.
Personally I wouldn't never leave a person shoot a gun
in the same boat I was in unless I was sure they knew
somethin' about guns. Jim was a sucker to leave a new
beginner have his gun, let alone a half-wit. It probably
served Jim right, what he got. But still we miss him
round here. He certainly was a card!
