TURKEY MARKET.
About Eighty Thousand
Pounds Sold.

The local turkey market has been
quite brisk during the past two
weeks and something like eighty
thousand pounds have Oeen shipped
out to the Northern market, not in
cluding other poultry. The market
was as high as l43 cents. but about
the end of last week there was a de-
cline of one cent. The Peter Fox
Sons Company shipped five car loads
and the Hayden Produce Company
about the same amount,
On yesterday Mr.. Gabe L. Camp
bell sold to the Peter Fox Sons Co..
a box of ten Bronze turkeys at the
fancy price of l51 cents. The ten
birds weighed 226 pounds, averag-
ing about $3.50 apiece.
The crop in Christian is by no
means exhausted and the indications
are, judging from the number of
turkeys still in the country, that
December shipments will be even
larger than those in November.

Morris Banks Shoots Mrs.
Fenuel A. Sebree at
Trenton.
MAY PLEAD INSANITY.
Alleged Family Quarrel Over
Mr.. Sebree's Will the
Cause.

Elkton, KY, Nov. 19.-Morris
Banks, aged "a years. this morning
shot and killed his aunt, Mrs. Fenuel
A. Sebree, at Trenton. Tonight he
occupies a cell in the county jail
here, awaiting a preliminary hear
ing, the exact date of which has not
yet been set.
Banks was disarmed after the
shooting by his brother, Strother,
and offered no resistance whatever
to Sheriff Lindsay, who arrested him
at his home near Trenton. He has
not spoken q word relative to the
tragedy and to all appearances is
absolutely unconcerned about it.
Coroner Weathers held an inquest
at Trenton this afternoon and the
testimony of numerous witnesses to
tho killing was in material respects
the lme.
SHOOTS WITHOUT WARNING.
Mrs. Sebree was sitting in her
buggy in front of the postoffice and
was talking to Norton Garth. a
young man who had just handed
Mrs. Sebree her mail, Banks walked
up to within ten feet of the buggy
and without saying word fired
both barrels of shotgun, the entire
charge taking effect. in Mrs. Sebree's
neck and head and causing instant
death.
V Following the shooting he laid the
Shotgun in the buggy, drew pistol
from his pocket, cooked it and pro-
ceeded TO his home, where he was
taken in custody several hours later.
CONTENTION OVER WILL.
1t is alleged an unpleasant feeling
existed against Mrs. Sebree ever
since the probate of the last will and
testament of her husband. who died
in May, 1908. By the terms of the
instrument Mrs. Sebree was devised
the entire estate, amounting to
about Sl25, 600, and was made exec.
utor without bond.
The Banks family. among them
Morris Banks mother, a sister to
Mr.. Sebree, contested the will but
it was admitted to probate. No ap-
peal had been taken, but it was
generally understood this would be
done before the five years of limita-
ton expired.
MELANCHOLY DISPOSITION.
Banks is said by his friends to be
of peculiarly retiring and melan-
choly disposition and a number Of
them profess to consider him men
tally unbalanced. 1t is believed by
them that the young man had be-
come obsessed of an idea that Mrs.
Sebree was standing between his
m9sAer and her just property rights.
lFenuel A Sebree was brother of
E. G. Sebree, he well known attor-
ney and politician, who died several
years ago at Henderson.
Both the Banks and Sebree fami-
lies are among the most prominent
in Southern Kentucky. and the de-
plorable affair has created the most
intense excitement throughout this
section.
Mrs. Sebree was about So years of
age. She had no children. She is
survived by brother, Ed Carney, a
well known travelling salesman Of
.Siacinnati, and has nephew, Geo.
Gross, who is engaged in business in
Louisville. No statement whatever
has been given out by Banks family
or counsel. The defense probably |
will plead insanity.

the grand lodge can be better handled.
There were over 1900" delegates pres
ent, and 1t was almost impossible to
