A SON ACCIDENTALLY SHOOTS HIS FATHER.
Received March 10, 11.5 p.m. LISBON, March 10
A sensational incident in connection with a carnival that was in progress at Brangaze is reported. A peasant represented the late King Carlos, the peasant's eldest son represented the late Crown Prince, and the peasant's second son impersonated Buca, one of the King's assassins. Not knowing that a revolver he was using was loadpd, the latter fired and killed his father. The son was so much shocked that he had to be forcibly restrained from committing suicide.
