SHOT his FATHER.
Joseph Shepherd colored Man Placed IN Hos
pital---Says Son Shot Him

Joseph Shepherd, colored man. about
fifty years old, was shot in the head at
his home near Method Sunday night and
placed in Rex Hospital yesterday MORN
ing for treatment. The wound is not
fatal but serious. The particulars of the
shooting are not known, except by q
statement given out by Shepherd himself,
who says that on the night of the shoot
ing one of his young sons had been or,
late at night and when he returned home
he gave him a scolding about being out
So late but did not whip him. Later on
he went out in the hall of his home and
his older son, who was mad with him for
scolding his brother, had seated himself
OH the stairway with a shot gun and
fired load of bird shot into him, strik-
ing him in the head. He says he had no
trouble with his son and they had not
had any words.
This is Shepherds story of the affair
but indications point to a fight. as Shep-
herd has a bruise over the left eye lid
which must have been done with the fist
His left eye is also blood-shot from being
struck. He says he did not see his son
until he saw the flash of the gun.
