Pate, Bud Jacobs and Sam Keith were at the schoolhouse acting as a committee to decide a debate and while they were deliberating over the subject in a room separated from the main auditorium, the shot was fired that sent young Pate into eternity. It has been reported that Sam Keith has been arrested and charged with the crime, but it is not known what the result was in the preliminary hearing held at Black. > > Max Yates > xamilil@wfeca.net > > >
