his son, the latter denying; n vjo-
lent alteration ensued, and the son
after some time started to go away,
when the father seized shot gun
and fired at him when twenty PAGES
distant, the charge taking effect in
the left side and arm. A brother
of the enraged father seized the gun
in time to prevent the discharge of
the second barrel. Fortunately the
gun was loaded with fine shot, and
the wounded man is likely to recov-
en-. 1t is reported that Joseph
White, after the gun was taken
from him turned to two other sons
who were present and said, "By
"God !; if you had loaded that gun
