He had lib- been literally riddied with buckshot and balls, ai- v loud ol shot entered his head; a ball eotered li- the back of his neck, and also at his right his nipple. Fisher s death must have been In- . nd stautaueous. His eyes were open aod his ' (ace had a set, determined look, such as one would imagine a man would wear who "died with his boots ou."
