The deceased Norman Grant was a physically strong man, about 5 feet 9 inches in height, weighing in excess of 200 pounds, and 32 years of age, but his left arm had been amputated above the elbow. His party ran out of beer and several of them drove to Homer, Nebraska, to replenish their supply.

They wore overtaken by the defendant and a sister of the de fendant. Defendant asked them: ‘ * * * if we wanted to settle it now.’ He had an object in his hand and swung at Mathew”
