The one drink develops into a great many and some hours later he awakens from a drunken stupor to find an empty flask and a revolver lying beside him on the grass. He cannot account for the gun until he discovers his friend, lying near him, dead. On his own hands he discovers blood stains. As everything seems to prove conclusively that he has committed the crime, Jim decides to give himself up to justice. He, therefore, goes to the sheriff to surrender himself. The sheriff meantime has learned that Jim's friend was accidentally killed by a wolf trap that had discharged a load of buckshot into his back. Jim is released, but this harrowing experience serves to teach him a very bitter lesson. Listening now to the pleadings of his wife, he quickly reforms.
