TO SHOOT HIS MOTHER
Fred w. Jones Draws a ReVOl-
YER on Mrs. Alice HI. Jones.

In fit of anger today at 13:30 O'Clock
Fred w. Jones, a young man of %
years, drew a revolver on his widowed
mother, Mrs Alice Fl. Jones at her
home 1119 West Sixth street. and
threatened to kill her. He cursed her,
and would have probably attacked her
had she not called for help. D. D.
Knox, the groceryman who has store
near the Jones residence. heard Mrs
Jones call for help and he went to her
assistance. He called the patrol wag-
on.
Detective Kesson arrived soon after
ward and placed young Jones under ar
rest. He was yet much excited and
was using prOfane language. He had
gone up stairs and hidden the revolver,
when he learned that the police had
been called. The cause of Fred w.
Jones anger was that his mother,
who has, it is said, been supporting
him, found that her son was not en-
ployed in the Santa Fe general offices
as he had made her think, but was
spending his time Ioafng in downtown
resorts. This noon she accused him
of it and he became wild with rage.
Jones was locked in the city jail with
out bail.
