HOMICIDE ON EDEN PRA1RyE-A FATHER
SHOT BY HIS SoN.-On last Saturday noon,
December 28th, John Horton, who was liv
ing on Eden Prairie, in Hennepin county,
was shot by his son, David Horton, a lad Of
sixteen, and instantly killed. The imme-
date cause of the homicide was quarrel
between the father and son, during which
the father, who had a gun with him, shot at
the boy, but without injury. The boy
then ran to the house and procured shot
gun, loaded with buckshot, which he dis.
charged at bis father, the balls entering just
below the left shoulder, causing immediate
death.
The deceased was aged about fifty-fve
years, man of violent temper and abusive
to his family. He was an Englishman by
birth, and previous to his emigration to
this country, had been engaged in several
local prize fights, from which be gave him
self the name of " Champion" He was a
drinking man, but not in liquor when the
quarrel and the homicide took place. The
boy claims that he shot bis father in self
defence that he and his mother were in
constant dread of their lives, on account of
bis violence be having several times while
residing on the Prairie, seriously injured his
wife by knocking her down. One of his
married daughters is now suffering severely
from blow inflicted by him with fence
stake.
The residence of the deceased was at the
upper end of Eden Prairie and adjoining
Chanhassen.
The boy was taken down to Minneapolis
yesterday, and committed to await bis trial
for homicide.
