Farmer Beaton's Sons Treated To A Warm Reception By Irate Farmer On Hallowe'en Night — A Double Barreled Shot Gun Did The Business
Two small boys, the sons of a farmer named Beaton, who lives just outside the west part of Fargo, were shot at by an irate farmer on Hallowe'en and as a result they came to Fargo yesterday and had about a handful of peas picked out of them by a physician.
The boys had greatly annoyed a neighboring farmer last Hallowe'en, and this year he waited for them with a double-barreled shotgun loaded with peas. The boys approached his place and he let fly with both barrels, and his marksmanship was excellent.
In future Hallowe'ens these particular boys will probably remain a long ways from that particular farmer.
An irate farmer in Colorado once shot my friend and me when we trespassed on his property to play in a cave. I was 11 or 12. Fortunately, the farmer was far enough away that the pellets bounced off us. But they sure smarted!
