FAMILY ROW CAUSES HOMICIDE

county farmer, was shot to death
about 'J:30 last night at his home, i
ten miles from Columbia on the Old
Camden road, by his son-in-law,
Ernest GofT, according to members of
Lee's family who were in the house'
at the time of the shouting. j
There were no eyewitnesses to the j
shooting but Mrs. Let- and her lbyear-old
daughter, Sudie Mae, ha 1
just turned their barks to the two
men. they said, when they heard the,
shots. Three bullets were fired, according
to Mrs. L?*e. and examination
of the dead man's body showed three
wounds, one in each arm and a third
in the left chest, which officers
thought probably pierced his heart.
Goff had come to the Lee home, it
was said, about 0:20 and had called
! I.ee out of bed. They were talking
on the side pot'eh, both silting on a
-mall shell near the steps with Mr^.
: Lee. standing in the door of the
j kitchen, the back room of the log
house. Mrs. Lee said that the two
: a en weie talking in ordinary tones
' and neil her?t*eemed t?? be angry.
.Mrs. Lee said that just before the
! shooting she heard Ciotl say: "He
' wanted to ^ut satisfaction, and a>
j -.he turner! to tell the children to b;
quiet, she heard the three shots.
After he was shot, Lee started

Chickens Dig Up
Treasure on Farm
Sharon Spring*, K*n. March 10.?
Hens as money makers Jiave the
"goose that laid the golden eggs"
backed off the map, as far as the
flock of Edward Morln of, Sharon
Springs is concerned.
He is $1,3&6 richer than he waa
before starting the chicken business.
This sum was not made gathering
eggs. All he had to do was to step
out into the backyard und pick up
$50 bills after his energetic hens had
uncovered the' burted treasure, which
amounted in all to $2,710. The
Morlns live in a house formerly occupied
by lioken Olson and wife.
Mr. Olson had passed eighty and Mrs.,
Olson was n'n<* feeble. They were
known to have money.
When Mr. Olson was declared insane
four years ago and sent to the
State Hospital at Lamed, the money
he was supposed to have could not
bo found. Mrs. Olson could apparent
iy shed no light on the subject.
Before Mr. Olson was adjudged
insane he said Mrs. Olson had buried
or hidden the-money and would
not divulge.its hiding place. .
Olson remained in the Lamed institution
until his death a couple of
yesHm ago. Mrs. Olson lived in the
family home until a year ago when
he we.nt to Chicago to live with an
"only son. It was then Morin rented
tlif home ami moved his flock of
Leghorns on the premises.
Morin kept, at his job firing engine.
for the Union Pacific Railway.
I he money aeratehed out of the
ea th was in bills ranging from $10
to $50, so badly weather-worn it was
necessary to send the entire amount
to the Treasury Department aff
Washington. The new money was returned.
Morin notified the son of
Mr. Olson. They agreed to split the
money equally. Mrs. Olson had also
died in the mean time.
Major H. O. D. Segrave, English

The farmer's boy watches the express

wonders what lies beyond. Some day it
