HALF VOTED SON SHOOTS HIS DAD Taket to Tall Timber Armed Returns and Meekly Suraenders to Heavily Armed Feus Who went out to Cap tare kin "Wounded or Dead." One Reuben Snow, a well known vender of chickens and eggs, came near meeting a tragic end at his home near Rosemary about five o'clock Wednesday afternoon. It appears that his half-witted son, becoming enraged with his father, sought vengeance with a shot-gun but fortunately for Reuben only one shot was able to penetrate his cranium. There upon the son fled to the woods armed defying capture. Immed iately Snow repaired to Rosemary and asked Chief Dobbins for aid in effecting his capture. A com pany of volunteers, headed by "Chief" soon started in pursuit of the gunman, who his father thought owing to his feeble- mindness. could hardly be cap tured alive. However, when the seachers arrived at the scene of the shooting, the son had return ed from the woods and was im mediately arrested and placed in Halifax jail.
