WAGES. ONE SON LIVED HERE.

Carter county people will learn
with serious regret that the J. w

probably as much as 100000
His son Burrell GrirrIs, aged about
30 years was working with him for
wages. At about $3.50 Monday morn

shooting him with a IA calibre pis-
tol. 1t said that the father was
armed with a knife. Burrell Griffis
communicated at once with the sher-
iff Of jefferson county and surren-
dered. There was one eye witness
to the tragedy. Harrison Griffis
another son was present. He was
also placed under arrest and was

ward that the county attorney re-
leased him. Burrell Griffis is a mar
ried man and the deceased leaves a
wife aged 62 years.

peror has fulfilled the long cherished

pointment to quartermaster general
