SON DEALS DEATH TO JOHN DOBSON Will Do toon Kills Father Near Pendleton?Young Boy Wounded? Brother of Slayer Perhaps Fatally Injured by Bullet From Victim's Pistol. Anderson, July 8.?John Dobson, a white farmer livinir on the Pelr.er plantation near Pendleton, in Pickens county, was shot and killed late last night by his 16-year-old son, Will Dobson. A younger son was desper-. ately wounded by a bullet from the pistol of the elder Dobson, who returned the fire of Will Dobson. The younger Dobson is in the local hospital and is in a critical condition, following an operation performed by Dr. J. C. Harris. Will Dibson has been lodged in jail at Pickens. The tragedy occured at the home of John Dobson. He has been Overbearing in hin manner tnwnrH hia wife and there had been a family quarrel Sunday. Dobson went to Pendleton on Monday and on his return resumed quarreling with his \yife. She sent to the field for her elder son, and when he came to the house the attitude of the father and son became belligerent. Some say that the first shot was fired by John Dobson, who was in the yard at the time. There was an exchange of shots, each of the principals being armed with a .38 calibre pistol, and John Dobson was struck by four of the five shots fired by the son. The younger son, Roy Barton Dobson, aged 13 years, was in the house with his mother when he was wounded by a shot from his father's pistol. The father fell desperately wounded and several physicians who were quickly summoned saw that there was no chance to save his life. He died at 2 o'clock this morning.

The operation developed that the ball had broken a rib on the left side and had plowed its way through the child's body, puncturing the colon in three places and otherwise causing a dangerous wound before leaving the body. The little fellow was cut almost in two in the efforts of the surgeon to perform an operation that would save his life. The perforation of the intestines would caiifee death in an older and less healthy person, but there is said to be a fighting chance for recovery as he is in fine health.
