Irving CayCe Killed Sunday About Noon by Miss Ollie CayCe
Who Was Forced TO Shoot to Save Her Life at the
CayCe Home on Palmyra Pike.
HORRIBLE DOMESTIC TRAGEDY ENACTED
Deceased Was Prominent Member Of One Of Leading Families
Of the COunty---At Inquest the COrOnerS Jury Re-
turns Verdict Of SelfDefenSe

A horrible tragedy was enacted
Sunday shortly after noon, on the
Palmyra pike few miles from the
city.
Irving j. Cayee.a prominent farm
err. was shot ana killed by his daugh
ter, Miss o lie Cayce. Another shot
fired by Miss Cayce also wounded
her brother, Irving Cayce, Jr.. in the
hand.
There are several versions of the
affair, differing in some particulars,
probably due to the excitement of
the members of the family who were
the only witnesses.
Mr.. Cayce had of late been addict
ed to the excessive use of liquor and
was more or less under its influence,
according to the most reliable infor-
nation. While at the dinner table
an argument came up as to the
length of time Mrs. Cayce had spent
in some store or business Office in
this City a few days before. Mr..
Csyce asserted that 1t was an hour
and his daughter stated that it was
not so long. Mr.. Cayce at this be-
came very angry and according to
the version given out struck bis

and went into another room, The
father picked upa chair and followed
in very angry mood. His youhg
son followed his father. vainIy trying
to restrain him. Miss Cayce was

pistol in hand, and as Mr.. Cayce ad
vanced shot twice; the first shot
hit his arm and also bit the boy in the
hand. who had hold of his father.
The second shot struck Mr.. Cayce in
the heart and he fell dead.
Mr.. Cayce was about 55 or 60
years old and was son of Franklin

Cayce, and a brother Of Mrs Alice
Hill. ofthis city. He was educated
at Bethany College. West Virginia,
where he was a cIassmate of Speaker
Champ Clark, of Missouri Last fall
when Mr.. Clark spoke in Nashville
Mr.. Cayce went to that city to meet
him and an acquaintance that had
been interrupted for nearly 40 years
was renewed
Mr.. Cayce was married to Miss
Rives, Of a prominent family IF
South Christian. Mrs Cayce is a
first cousin of Mrs. Halle Rives
Wheeler, the celebrated authoress
of Hearts Courageous and other
noted books.
His oldest son, Rives Csyce. is a
valued employee in the office Of the
l. G.. Railroad Co. here.
Mr.. Cayce when at himself was an
exceedingly pleasant and affabIe gen.
rlemsn. courteous and refined in his
bearing. 1t was only recent thing
that he had been having violent spells
and one theory is that they were not
altogether due to the use Of stimu-
lants, as he had q brother who lost
his mind and died in the asylum
THE affair has caused deep sorrow.
and public sympathy seems to be
with the young lady.
+ Following the tragedy Miss Cayce
and her mother went to the home of
Mr.. Noel Rives. Mrs. Cayce's uncle,
near by. The coroner held an in
quest over the body Sunday and
rendered a verdict that Miss Cayce
acted in self defense. The grand
jury will of course investigate the
matter, but it is doubtful if an in
dictn4ent is returned.
Miss Cayce is about 20 years old
and the boy is about No.
The interment took place in River
side Cemetery yesterday afternoon,
with brief services at the grave.

to the Society. II has always been
the policy of the Society to act
quickly in accordance with the sue-
gestions Of the office of the state
Examiner and Inspector and the
rule was followed on this occasion.
Mr. Merimee pointed out that the
Society was $500 behind in its cur.
rent expenses and he thought it wise
to discontinue the financial campaign
then in progress and which, he claim
ed. was bringing in insufficient re-
venue to warrant the expense il
entailed.
IL should de borne in mind clearly
that in writing Mr.. Humphrey,
notifying him of his dismissal, the
State Superintendent called atten-
ton TO the recommendation already
mentioned and that the words and
context of his letter plainly showed
that it was the financial campaign
which was to be suspended. temper
arily, in the western part of the
State. That Mr.. Humphrey must
have entertained some such idea is
shown in his letter of reply. wherein
hereciprocated the kindly sentiments
expressed by the State Superintend-,
ent. and asked that the latter use
his good offices in obtaining him a
position with a wholesale house for
the winter months.
