Lodged in Jail for Shooting His Brother

  John Dougherty, aged 26, residing near Gallitzin, a track walker of 
the Pennsylvania railroad, died at the Altoona hospital Sunday from a 
bullet wound in his abdomen.  He was shot Saturday night by his 
brother, Charles, also a track walker, a short distance from their 
home, while they were on their way to work.  They quarreled and Charles 
drew a revolver and fired five times at his brother.  The first shot 
took effect.  Leaving the wounded man by the road, Charles went onto 
work and reported his brother off sick. John was found later and 
Saturday he was taken to Altoona to die. Charles was arrested and is in 
jail at this place.
