SON ATTACKS
 PARENTS AND
 SHOOTS THEM
(continued From Page one.)

CContinued From Page One.)
 The Komp family moved here from Brooklyn, N. Y., a few months ago to a handsome home on Cupboard Ridge, a short distance north of the city. When MT. and Mrs. Komp re- tired last night their son was seated at a. table reading a Sunday school paper. Two hours later they were awakened by a series of pistol shots in their room and found the boy with a revolver in each hand, firing at ran- dom.
 A desperate struggle ensued in which the entire family, barefooted and clad in night clothes, went out of the house into the deep snow.
 Mrs. Kornp wrested one of the re- Volvers from the youth and struck him upon the head with it. At the fourth blow young Komp ceased the struggle in which he had been en- gagged with his parents, rubbed his eyes like a person emerging from a deep sleep and looked in evident amazement at his surroundings and the revolver in his hand. He re- nembered nothing that had happen ed, he said, but in a dream he had i. had desperate battle with a party of men who had entered the house and tried to overpower him.

 GET LIQUOR

While walking along Water street at a late hour Saturday night, Ed+ ward HazeIton, of 690 Main street, and Jacksonville, Fla, was approached by two prosperous looking strangers. The unknowns, after pouring forth a fear ful tale of woe, in which they allowed that Bridgeport was about as moist as season, pressed a $10 bill into Ed wards hand and appointed him a committee of one to secure the only reliable remedy for a throat-scorching thirst
 Edward accepted the appointment and the money with considerable promptness and immediately hied himself off on his errand. The strang- CTS waited a few moments for his re- turn. They waited a few moments longer, and finally they discovered that they had wasted a perfectly good hour. It was plain to be seen that the
 messenger was not to return.
 Enlisting the aid of a policeman, the
 strangers started out on a hunt fol Hazelton and their missing S10. The man was finally located, and locked up, charged with breach of the peace When the situation was explained il the City court, charges against Hazel ton were noI1ed, and the stranger. were presented with their $10 and alsc 1 a good bit of advice as to how not tt
 secure liquor.
