Description: 

As explained in Gavin Stevens' reconstruction of the murder, Crawford Gowrie got Lucas to fire his pistol by meeting him at "a stump beside the path" between Lucas' house and Fraser's store, two miles from both places, and then betting him that he couldn't hit the stump from fifteen feet away (221).
