McCumber, 58, Gold Flat resident, is in a critical condition in the county hospital here today from a bullet wound inflicted, the officers discovered, by his father in law, Charles McFarland, 73. McFarland is being held in the open charge pending the outcome of McCumber’s injury. The shooting was investigated by Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen and Deputy Sheriffs Carl T. Larsen and Willard O'Hara. According to the story pieced together by the officers, McCumber and McFarland had been drinking and at about 8:30 Saturday night were returning to the McCumber home in Gold Flat in a car operated by McCumber. . It appears McFarland did not like the erratic way his:son in law was driving and sought to take the wheel. Instead, McCumber stopped the car and a fight developed with “the elder man sufféring ‘cuts and bruises. When the pair arrived home, McFarland got out of the car and made his wa to his cabin, which is located in the rear of the MeCumber home. A son, Robert J. McFarland, happened to be at the MeCumber home at the time. McCumber told him: ‘He’s going to shoot me.” Shortly thereafter MeFraland returned with the gun, a .22 caliber rifle. Robert sought to take the gun away from his father but the elderly man orderéd his son to stay out of the way or he may get shot also. It was then that McFarlend took aim and fired the .22 caliber bullet into the chest of his ‘son in law. After receiving the bullet in his chest McCumber walked forward to the aged man and grasped him around the neck before he slumped to the ground. The younger MeFarland took the gun away from his father. McCumber was then taken to the county hospital. McFarland was not home when the offficers arrived. He was found a short time later, however, near the Rector residence while enroute to the county hospital. Sheriff Tobiassen is continuing his investigation. and said a murder charge will probably be filed against McCumber if McCumber dies.
