gun aud pointed il at her. Her son, the
victim, told his grandfather not to shoot his
mother, wherenpon the old gentleman shot
him. The gun was loaded with slugs and shot,
two of which took effect in the temple, two in
the right arm, two in the abdomen and two
in the breast These wounds, the physician
says, are very serious, il not fatal.
II is further stated that old Mr.. Gore, after
shooting his grandson, endeavOred To shoot
his daughter~in-law, and fred his revolver at
her. She ran and escaped. He then began
loading his gun, a single barrel shotgun, and
