Custer's coinrnaud just before the death of that brilliaut bnt ill-fated Holdier. Stivers abused tlio youth by pulling bis ears and slapping his face. The boy bore this treatment for some tinie, and fiually said, "Tom, I dou't waut to hurt yon, but I've had enough of this." Stivers answered by ordering him out of the house. Young Moody said he was not goiug uutil he liad trausjcted lais business. Stivers instantly seizod him and threw him against the wall of the room and kieked him as he feil. The boy instantly drew a email revolver and ftred. The first shot struok Stivers over the left enr and passed through the he?xï, coming out on the other side. A seeond shot entered Ui e chest and struck tlie lower part of the heart. As Stivers turned to fall Moody fired a third shot, which entered the back and lodged in the very center of the heart.
