Says His Son Assaulted Him

Jacob Weber, who lives about two miles out of the city on Miller avenue, appeared at the drug store of A. C. Schumacher Monday evening looking as though a ton of bricks had fallen upon his cranium. He had a cut in his head, three inches in length and almost half an inch deep. He was bleeding profusely. Dr. Kapp was called and sewed up Weber's wound.

The injured man explained that he had gotten into an altercation with his son, when the latter whacked him over the head with a heavy stick, inflicting the wound described above.
