BLOODSHED IN CHURCH. Volley of Bullets In a Place of Worship in Lone Star State. A PARENT AS AN AVENGER. Forfeited His Own Life, but Took That of the Man Who Had Wronged His Child—The Shooting Followed the Reading of the Text. Dallas, June 29.—One of the most sensational tragedies ever enacted in north Texas took place in the Methodist Episcopal church in Pleasant Valley, Dallas county, 22 miles north of this city, in the course of services. As a result August Garrison and Frank Jones are dead and Thomas Jones is fatally wounded. The Garrison and Jones families are among the most’prominent planters in this section of Texas. They own ad-, joining plantations, and have been on the best of social relations for many years. Augustus Garrison was a married man and had a daughter 16 years old named Lois. The Jonesubrothers were single. Frank Jones for a year or more had been very partial in his attentions to Garrison’s daughter. ‘ Recently the girl charged him with having ruined her under promise of marriage. Garrison swore he would have the life of the betrayer of his daughter. Mutual friends succeeded in keeping the men apart. Garrison and the Jones family worship at the same church. Just as the preacher had taken his, text after prayer and the singing of a hymn, Garrison, who had a seat near the door, stepped to the doorway, it is' believed, to get some fresh air, as the atmosphere was oppressive. A Fusillade of Shots. He had no more than reached the doorway when the congregation was startled by a fusillade of pistol shots.- Nearly a dozen were fired in about as many seconds. When the firingceased, Augustus Gar— rison and Frank Jones were lying dead in front of the church steps and Thomas Jones was stretched on the lawn near by, one hand clasped on his right thigh, while in his left he had a pistol. His right thigh bone in front was shat- tered by a pistol ball diat had torn its way downward, mutilating the flesh for a distance of six‘inches. He said that he and his brother Frank were approaching the church door and were within ten feet of it when Garri- son appeared and instantly drew his pistol. His brother Frank; he said, was hit by the. first discharge, and before he could draw his weapon Thomas drew his pistol and Opened fire on Garrison, 'Iindefense of his brother Frank; Gar— rison, after Frank fell, Opened fire on him (Thomas). Frank Jones was shot three times, once in the region of the heart, once in the right side and once in the head. Garrison received but one. bullet, and that pierced his heart. . The See ans Happy.
