Killed His Father.

A fratricide with unusual features
is reported from Holmes county,
near Lexington, the victim being
Calvin King, who was slain in self
defense by his son, Walter King.
It appears from the evidence that
the son is an invalid and the father
inhumanly wanted to get rid Of
him.. and repeatedly attempted to
drive him from home. On the morn
ing of the tragedy a quarrel oc-
CURED, which resulted in the father
reaching for hatchet with which
to attack the boy. The latter seized
his brothers pistol and fired, and
the old man fell dead at his feet.
The slayer has been admitted to bail
in the sum of $780,.
