all through, were run on The com.
munity basis, as he said he want
ed his children to know what he

when he was gone, an TO that end
they were all interested and lived
out Of the income Of the estate.
What tie cause OF the trouble
was that led to the shooting, is
not now known, but It Is said that
the father became dissatisfied with
Georges management Of the farm
work and removed him from the
co ntrol Of The farm interests, and ,
it is said, intimated tha. he would
recall his will and change it.
This trouble occurred during
Wednesday, and early yesterday
morning George appeared at the
store and finding hisfaiher in the

pitsl, where it was hoped bis life
might be saved, though not much
nope is held out for his recovery.
A report late to-day is TO the
