TULSA SKYSCRAPER
DAMAGED BY FIRE
By United Press.
Tulsa, Aug. 29.—A family quarrel
between J. H. Lee, age 64, and C. W.
Young, 34, culminated in the shoot-
ing and serious wounding of Young
here yesterday.
Young is in a hospital with a very
small chance of recovery today.
The shooting took place between
Third and Fourth streets on Main,
right in the center of the business
district and early shopping crowds,
which were at first startled by the
single shot rushed to the scene and
enused u traffic jam for several min-
utes.
Only one shot was fired, the bullet
striking Young in the abdomen. He
staggered to a nearby store and was
rushed to a local hospital and placed
on the operating table. Attending
physicians reported that the man was
seriously injured and his chances for
recovery are regarded as slim.
Lee, who was placed under arrest
and is being held in jail, told officers
that he shot Young because the man
had broken up his home.
Young broke up my home. He
kept me locked up in my house.”
Eye witnesses to the shooting told
police officers that a short argument
preceded the shooting. One of the
witnesses told police that Young
had jerked a pair of pliers from his
pocket and struck Lee before th#
shot was fired.
