ASHVILLE, N. C., Aug. H.
Armed posses are securing the noun
tains of Yancey county for Carl and
Henry Banks, who are charged with
having killed the father and brother
of their sister-in-law, and with hav-
ing probably fatally wounded her in
a family feud near this city, late
Sunday afternoon.
WE'RE NEIGHBORs.
The ARRAY is said TO have been
started by a quarrel between young
children of the Banks and the Hens
ley families, who are neighbors, about
ten miles south OF Burnsville, in the
heart OF the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Bryson Hensley. thirty-seven years
old. was shot and died almost in
stantly. His son, Eugene, died In the
Mission Hospital here yesterday aft
ernoon, and his daughter. Mrs. Pru-
dence Banks, nineteen years old. who
is In the same hospital. is not ex-
pected to live. The Banks brothers
fled to the mountains after the shoot
ing.
According TO reports reaching here,
Bryson Hensley and the Banks
on the scene
neously while the children were quar-
reling, and the shooting began al
most Immediately. Bryson Hensley IS
said to have returned the fire of the
Banks brothers before he fell NOR
tally wounded by their bullets.
RUNS TO FATHERS SIDE.
Mrs Banks heard the shooting and
is said to have run to her fathers
side. only to fall wounded by a bull
let fired by one of her brothers-in-
law.
In the meantime, Eugene Hensley
arrived on the scene and was shot
down as he stopped to pick up his
fathers revolver to return the Banks
brothers fire
Mrs. Banks and Young Hensley
were placed in automobiles by neigh
bors and taken to the hospital. Be-
cause of the bad condition of the
roads. the journey required more than
two hours, and they were too weak
from loss of blood to undergo opera
tions for removal of the bullets when
they reached the hospital.
