FATHER SHOT
HIS STEP SON
Sudden End to Family Row
in Chesterfield.
INJURIES NOT SERIOUS
Boy Visited Brattleboro Physician
Monday Afternoon With Two Shot
in His Left Arm-An Interesting
Story About the Quarrel.

As the result of strike in Chester
field, N. H., Monday Ernest Brant, l6
years old, came to Brattleboro later in
the day with his left arm in a sling
and two bird shot in his left arm.
The shot were part of charge which
came from gun fired by the young
man's step.father, James Airing.
While the strike grew out of labor
troubles it was characterized by some
thing more speedy than a walk.out.
The strike was made by broom han
die in the hands of young Brant and
the object struck was the Uranium of
the step.father. Immediately after.
ward the striker instituted a run-Out,
as he started at high speed to "beat
it" down the road after beating his
parent.
The Airing family formerly lived in
Brattlcboro but recently moved to Il
farm on the gulf road in Chesterfield.
Mrs Airing, her daughter and step
son came to Brattleboro after the fra.
cas- and went to the Office of DR.. o..
Common. The wounded boy was then
taken to DR.. C. X. Aldrich's Office
where the shot were located by means
of the. X-ray. Later he was taken to
the hospital but refused to remain
there after Tuesday afternoon. The
shot were not removed.
The story told by the boy Monday
afternoon is interesting. 1t seems
that he recently knocked off work TO
get his hair cut and was incensed to
discover upon his return that his
step,father had not been as industri'
Gus as usual about the farm work
Later the step.father desired to have
his capillary adornment shortened
and went away for the same purpose.
When he returned and found that the
youth had followed his example and
rested while the adopted parent was
away Airing wayed wroth and up
braided the boy for his idleness
whereupon the boy, still following the
paternaI example, waxcd wrOth also.
The first weapon that came to his
hand was the handle Of a worn-out
broom. This the boy seized with
aviditv and dealt the older man such
broom handle broke in twain and the
blow almost wilted father. Both ap
parently realized at the same time
that something had happened. The
boy started down the road at a clip
that would make the performance |

son was disappearing from

Young Brant stopped when the shot

'he started to kick me but when he
