Shell Rock, June 19.-As the result
of quarrel following drunken spree
Hans Buelkas, residing on farm near
here, shot and seriously wounded his
son, Antoine Buelkas, aged q years.
Thirty-five pieces Of NO. 2 shot en-
tered the lads groin and legs and it
is doubtful If he can survive. The
father Is under arrest.
AS nearly as can be learned, An
tone and his father have not been
getting along well together and two
weeks ago the boy left home it is said
at the request of his parent. He re-
turned Tuesday night, however, and
apparently had become reconciled.
Wednesday the two went to Waiver
ly together in wagon and 1t is
claimed drank considerable together.
En- route home the old quarrel was re-
uewed and the father claims his son
threw him out OF the vehicle and COM
PEELED him to walk home. This oc-
CURED between Shell Rock and the
farm home, three and half miles
distant.
Hans Buelkas says that his son re-
fused to allow him to ride for some
distance but finally permitted him to
get in the wagon again. The quar-
rel continued and reached a slimax
when they arrived home. -
I The old man claims the boy drew a
knife on him and in self defense he
fired the contents OF a shot gun at
him. The father was standing in the
garden at the time about thirty feet
from the target, who was in the door,
way OF the house. FFS
Physicians were called at once and
found that, at least IS EFF the shot
had pierced the lads body and limbs.
No attempt has been made yet to re-
move them and the greatest fear now
Is that blood poison may set in.
The Buelkas family consists Of hus-
band, wife, two sons and daughter.
They occupy what is known as the
Kublank farm southwest of Shell
Rock. The victim of the gun wounds
is 81 years of age and is possessed Of
sturdy constitution. The father is
having his preliminary hearing this
afternoon. but owing to his inability
to speak good English little informa-
ton can be ELECTED from his testi-
mony.

BooneviIle-case Similar to That

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, June 19.-In identically
the same manner as the famous Virgil,
White case which caused a sensation
in Des Moines several years ago. SO
has the mysterious disappearance OF L.
A. Woodring, the Red Cross nurse, been
solved.
With no luggage, except the cloth
Ing on his back, Woodring Is tramping
thru the country, working at secluded
farm houses for his board, and hap
py in the thought that he has broken
away from the cares and complications
which harassed him in Des Moines.
Woodring stopped Friday night at
the home Of c. A. Hubbard at Boone
vile, about fifteen miles west of Des
Moines. He had walked all the way
from this city. After good nights
sleep and hearty breakfast he
started out again, swinging gally
along over the railroad track to tbs
west.
To the Hubbards Woodring inti-
mated that too many women in Des
Moines had been making his life
burden. and that he had decided to
break away from it all for awhile. He
said he was going to walk to Omaha,
and would try and get work at the
farms ON the way.
Almost identical with the sensa-
tional Virgil White case is that of Mr.
Woodring. Virgil White. the popular
Drake University student chose to
disappear because of trouble in which
a woman was concerned. For days
the river was dragged for his body.
Finally he was found at secluded
country farm house.
Upon being questioned Mr.. Hub
bard stated that Woodring had not
mentioned the Spanish senorita
sweetheart but that he spoke OF
Des Moines woman who was causing
him some trouble. Before his disap-
pearance Woodring contided to friends
that since the stories concerning his
wealth had been printed women We're
causing him great deal Of annoyance.
He said they made his life a burden,
constantly running after him at his Of
flee and at his home. Some OF them
were women with business schemes,
others tried to make love to him with
an evident eye on his reputed wealth.
Mrs. Martin, at 922 West Walnut,
where Woodring has his rooms, states
that a number of women have come to
the house inquiring for him and have
called up over the phone since his
disappearance.
Woodring's disappearance followed
q quarrel with Miss Ethel Hume, the
young lady at 1920 West Grand ave-
nue., who claims she was Woodrinlgs
affianced sweetheart, and first gave
a fictitious name. Miss Hume says she
accused him of being a -four fiusher'
and that he shook his pocketbook IN
her face and vowed to return In an
hour and prove differently to her.
