A Horrible
Fratracide
Emery Preuette Kills His Aged Faith
er Instantly, Discharging 81
BuckShOt In Body.

Henry D. Preuette, aged GO
years, was shot and instantly
killed by his son, Emery Preuette
about o'clock Monday after
noon, Feb. %. The parties lived
within 300 or 400 yards of each
other several miles east of Col
| fax, and had been at outs with
each other for the past two or
three years. The feud between
them originally grew out of the
criticisms of the elder Preuette
of the conduct of his grand
daughters, the daughters OF
Emery Preuette. This was about
September 1914, at which time
two of Emery's brothers became
involved in a shooting ARRAY with
a young man named Grant. At
the time of this ARRAY the elder
Preuette had made charges
against the character of hi S
granddaughter which caused the
shooting between the young men,
in which all three of them were
wounded.
Following this incident the
family was divided. Thus mat
tiers have smouldered until the
outbreak last Monday, resulting
in Emery shooting his father
three times with a pump gun, at
a distance of 20 or Is feet. Two
charges lodged in the right side
and one in the left side, each
charge containing Is buckshot,
all taking effect.
i Emery Preuette was lodged in
l the Colfax Jail about $50 p. m.
\ Monday. He said his father had
4 cursed him and abused his fami.
ly in the morning. About l p. m.
he came back to Emery's house
/ with a posthole digger on his
shoulder and a shotgun in his
right hand, and threated Emer,
A and abused him and his family
and his wife and children be
\ came frightened and ran into thu
house. Emery said he remained
and pleaded with his father tt
:, to let him and his family alone
!, The old man left and went to
/. cotton house near by where tw'
9 of his boys were, but returned il
:, about ten minutes and stopped
in front of the gate about twent,
. feet from the house, and asked
: when are you going to NOV
away from here?" Emery said
:, Il don't think / have done any
= thing to move for" Other re
marks passed and the old MAJ
told Emery he had to leave, an
raised his gun, when Emery say
! he shot him three times with
: pump gun.
= The day after the elder Preu
: cite was killed, an affidavit wa
: made before Magistrate j. @
Long against Jim, Tom, Georg
!. and Henry Preuette, Jr., charg
ing them with making threats t
. kill the wife and children o
Emery Preuette and to burn hi
house. Another affidavit wa
!, n made Wednesday against Jir
= Preuette for shooting three time
It with Winchester rifle into tn
e house occupied by the family o
y Emery Preuette, with the othe
e three boys as accessories. Tn
parties were arrested Wednesda
a and put in Jail.

BLOOD TREATMENT

Scientists have discovered that the
forest and the field are abundantly
supplied with vegetation of various
kinds, that furnish the ingredients for
making a remedy for practically every
ailment of mankind. Medicines made
from roots. herbs and barks which Ma
ture has placed at the disposal of man
are better than strong mineral mix
lures. Mineral medicines work danger
ously on the delicate parts of the sys-
tenn, especially the stomach and bow
els. by eating out the lining mem--
brane, producing chronic dyspepsia and
often entirely running the health.
S. 8. 8. is guaranteed to be a purely
vegetable remedy. 1t is made entirely
of gentle-acting, healing, purifying
roots, herbs and barks, possessing prop
critics that build up all parts of the sys-
