Peterson, who lives half a mile south of John Heinzes' near Lynch postoffice, came near killing J. T. Louderback one day recently. Louderback was standing in the barn on the Heinze farm when he heard a bullet come whizzing along at a furious rate. He knew it was coming towards him but did not have time to dodge and wouldn't have done so anyway. The bullet when through the just over his head {sp}. The gun Peterson used was a 44 calibre rifle.
