IRATE PARENT SHOOTS AT DAUGHTER’S LOVER

(Fowler Tribune). Because of the fact that objected to the intimate attentions being paid his daughter by one of the members of a gang of long distance telephone linemen now making their headquarters in Fowler, James Shelton fired at him with a revolver Monday night. Mr. Shelton went after his daughter, who was with her lineman friend in the school house yard. He called to her and ordered her home, and then shot his revolver. He had previously remonstrated with his daughter for associating -with this strange young man, and as she paid no attention to his advice, he took summary measures. The young man in the case interviewed officials the next day in an attempt to take some action against Mr. Shelton, but was advised to let well enough alone, and forget it.
