The story of the killing as told above from the Liberal, is probably not correct. The Enter- prise learns on what it considers fairly good authority, that Hines was in the shaft house, was called to the door and shot. He was only hit by one bullet. It is said that Devine claims that Hines shot at him and powder burned his face, and that Walter Birchfieid picked the powder out, but this story is not accredited by those who are somewhat familiar with the cir- cumstances.
