Mr. Ball. It appeared to be slowed down some?
Mr. Brown. Yes; slowed down.
Mr. Ball. Did you hear the shots?
Mr. Brown. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. How many?
Mr. Brown. Three.
Mr. Ball. Where did they seem to come from?
Mr. Brown. Well, they seemed high to me, actually; if you want, would you like me to tell you?
Mr. Ball. Sure, tell it in your own words.
Mr. Brown. Well, down in that river bottom there, there's a whole lot of pigeons this particular day, and they heard the shots before we did because I saw them flying up—must have been 50, 75 of them.
