KILLING OVER
= IN GARRARD
Old Grudge Said to Have Been Re-
sponsible for Shooting ARRAY
Near Cartersville.
Lancaster, KY, Jan. II.

Lancaster, KY, Jan. II.
The killing last week at Carriers
vile, Garrard county, is said by Off
Gals who have investigated the mat
ter to have been the result of an old
grudge between Bynum Carter Van
Wrinkle and his brother-in-law, Bert
Wilson, Rockcastle county resident.
When VanWinkle saw Wilson and
two other men passing along the
road, it is alleged he opened fire on
them, Ed Ballard receiving a wound
from which he died the next morn
ing at the Berea hospital. Wilson
is also reported seriously wounded
with a probability that he will die.
Ed Ballard, the man killed by Van
Wrinkle, was 10 years old, unmarried
and the son of George Ballard of the
Gainesville vicinity.
Bynum Carter VanWinkle escaped
after he had shot two of the three
men passing his home, and, so far,
Garrard officials have not been able
to locate him, the impression being
that he has fled the country. He is
about II years old and belongs to
the same VanWinkle family that
took part in shooting affair at Car
tersville some five or six years ago.
The story told by VanWinkle's
friends is, that the three passers-by
first opened fire on him, the shots
not taking effect; he at once rushed
into the house, and, securing his
gun, was soon giving them full
charge of return bullets, with the
above final result.

Without a single exception every
director of the three banking insti-
buttons of Lancaster was reelected
at the stockholders sessions held at
the various bank offices. All of these
banks are in a fourishing condi-
ton, each having declared its reg
ular dividends, beside carrying
good amount to the surplus fund.
The Citizens National holds the dis
tinction of being on the honor roll,
its capital and surplus being the
same, $4,000. Stock in this finan-
cial institution recently sold for 5000
per share. The National Bank, the
oldest bank of Lancaster, has a sur
plus of $4,000, and undivided pro-
| fits of $4,000. Its capital stock is
$4,000. The Garrard Bank and
Trust Company, the youngest finan-
cial firm of the city, is growing in
popularity and ability every year,
and beside paying its usual dividend

which now amounts to $4,000.

reason to rush their weed to the
breaks, as they possess satisfactory
bank accounts and hence are not

figures have en-reported within
the past few days. d. N. and En-

the latter was compensated at an
