Almost Kills Aged Father
Frank Schroeder, aged 45, made a murderous assault upon his fathers, Dr. 
Herman Schroeder, one of the wealthiest and most prominent men of 
Bloomington. Dr. Schroeder is 81 years old and one of the pioneers of the 
county. The younger Schroeder was beating his wife and little children, 
when his father interfered. The son drew a big knife and stabbed his father in 
the abdomen. The knife luckily struck a truss, thus preventing murder. The 
knife glanced and inflicted a wound nearly two inches long. Frank was seized 
by some workmen and held until taken in charge by the 
sheriff.
