SONS SHOOT FATHER.
Hutchinson Farmer Was Reading in
His Country Home.

Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. 30.-Turrey
Tullgren. farmer. 40 years old. was
shot and seriously but not fatally
wounded by his eldest son, Elmer. aged
mile west of Castleton, at 1880 o'clock
Saturday night Another son. Wiley,
aged II, assisted his brother in the at
tempted patricide. The father. al
though not mortally hurt. Is badly
wounded in the left shoulder. face and
breast. and both hands. 1t is possible
that his left arm will be amputated.
He was brought to local hospital this
morning and with him came the first
news of the crime.
Their fathers Cruelty" is the cause
which the boys assign for their at
tempt to kill him. and confess that for
three years they have kept a shot gun
ready to kill him when opportunity
arose. Both are in the county Jail
here and will be charged with assault
with intent to kill. They were arrest
ed by Deputy Sheriff Carl Duckworth.
At the time of the shooting Tullgren,
his wife and children were sitting in
the dining room. Tullgren was read
ing a letter, and when the shot was
fired, had his hands in front of his
face. This fact probably saved him
from death, or at least the loss OF his
eyeSight.
Shortly before the shot was fired Ell
mer and Wiley left the house and went
to the barn. According to their own
statements they had sought to kill
their father for three years. A 16-
bore single barreled shot gun, which
belonged to their father had been hid
den for that purpose. They got it and
returned to the house with two shells
in their hands.
Elmer then slipped one Of the shells
into the gun, took aim through the
window and fired. The boys then hid
the weapon and returned to the house
in answer to Tullgren's cries for help.
They assisted the wounded man into a
chair and were at the house when the
deputy arrived.
Immediately after it was known that
there had been an attempt to kill Tull-
gren the farmers in the vicinity of his
house surrounded the place. Duck
worth found footprints near the house,
which were those of Wiley Tullgren
and the boys were then arrested and
vigorously questioned. At first they
denied any knowledge Of the crime,
but later admitted it.
According to the story of the boys,
they have received cruel treatment
ever since they were young children.

gren did not know that his sons had been
shot by a man whose arrest he had
caused, and who is yet to be tried in
the district court.
When told that his boys were in Jail
he cried, "Oh, my Cod 1t cannot be.
cannot believe that my own sons
would do such thing"
He was not told that they had con-
fessed.

We notice that another effort is
being made to increase the salaries
Of judges by adding $500 to be call
ed travelling expenses. The senate
indefinitely postponed the bill but a
motion to reconsider will be in or
der. A similar bill was introduced
a few years ago and passed the sen
ate but was killed in the house.
/. We believe that the salaries Of all
State officials are too low but there
should be bill raising all salaries.
All State officers are paid only
$1,000 a year except the Governor
and the Insurance commissioner and
State bank. examiner who get $4,000
a year each. Their duties are no
more, important or onerous than the
comptroller general or other State
officials. The fact is a. State officer
receives no more than an ordinary
bookkeeper.'
Let the legislature do the right
thing and pass measure increasing
all salaries and placing them on an
equitable basis. -..

receive as large salary as several
county auditors, who are his inferior
officers.
