another shot as the ducks flew off. Fields, who remained in the blind,
raised his gun for a shot at the ducks and as he pullled the trigger
Hoss walked from behind the tree and received the entire charge of
shot, dying almost instantly.

Hoss, and two children, a boy three years old and a girl six months
old. A brother, J. M. Hoss, also survives him.
