THREE PISTOL SHOTS.

One for His Wife, One for His Son
and One for Himself.
St. Paul, June 23.-William Schef-
ner, German A years of age, shot
at and missed his wife, shot and prob
ably fatally injured his 22-year-old
son Paul, and then sent a ball from
the same revolver crashing through
his own brain. The crime occurred in
a little tumble down shanty at II Fair
field avenue, near the river on the
West side, and was all over before the
neighbors realized what the three
shots fired in rapid succession meant.
Scheffner quarreled with his wife and
threatened her if she did not give him
certain money she had earned. The son
upheld the mother in her refusal to
give Scheffner the money, and throw
ing his coat aside told his father that
he could not abuse his mother in his
presence, and the shooting then COM
menced.
Scheffner was Of an extremely quar-
relsome disposition, and was almost
continually in trouble with some OF
the neighbors.
