LESTER GUNTER SLAIN
BY HIS COUSIN.
Levi Gunter Surrenders to Lexington
Officials.

Lexington, October 2S.-Lester
Gunter, young white man, of the
Steadman section of this county, was
shot and almost instantly killed in
the public road, about dark last night,
by Levi Gunter, his third cousin. The
tragedy occurred in front of the home
of Levi Gunter and five shots were
fired. A ball from a 38-calibre Smith
q Wesson revolver entered the side,
ranging upward, and lodged about
two inches below the nipple, causing
almost instant death.
From the evidence adduced at the
coroner's inquest this morning and
from what can be learned from the
accused it seems that the trouble first
had its origin about week ago.
when, it is claimed, Lester Gunter
and two or three companions went
to the home of Ed Gunter, father of
Levi Gunter, and acted in a very un-
gentlemanly manner in the presence
OF the sisters of Levi Gunter. It
seems that the trouble was renewed
at the Baptist church at Steadman
yesterday, and, according to the state
ment of Levi Gunter, he was attacked
by seven young men. Levi Gunter
says that he ran, being unarmed, in
order to avoid an encounter. Lester
Gunter was in the party, all of whom,
said Levi, were under the influence
of whiskey.
