;
Lexington, Nov. 23.?That Lee
j.j Banks will have to face a Lexington
in_ i county jury, charged with the mur c
aer of his only son, seems very
v. probable. The latest advioes from
jp_ Leesville are that the younger Banks
,as : who \ as shot by his father, will likely
ly not recover.

1 1
savage. It is said that he would
; tv.n his wife away trom home, forc:
i:if her to see1: shelter at the home
l
00 oi: neighbors. On last Tuesday afird
t T.oon, when Banks, in n drunken
ian rage attempted to drive her away.
to Troy Banks, the son, 17 years old,
?P went to the aid of his mother in an

>ns before he was shot down by a bub
1U" let from a Winchester, the ball tam"
king effect in the calf of the leg,
nc* shattering the bone to such ar exa"
'ent that amputation was necessary.
er* The ball entered from behind.
&s Mrs. Banks ran to the home of a
lst nearby neighbor and asked for as
lt distance. Physicians were immed:ss
iatelv summonod and upon arrival
t0 at the home, one of them, Dr. Risei
>r^ 1 o:" Lcesvillc, was roughly handled
'as by the irate lather. It was with the
^ie greatest difficulty, it is said, that
vn* the physicians could administer to
IC*S the young man.
Banks was arrested and brou ht
to jail h'5rf. > here he has been evej
in" sir.~e. He was still under the influence
of whiskey when he reach x
2Ct ihe jail, and no statement from fin
ac* could be secured. Since so' c ' f

"c about him, and has written to .

,en and assuring them that his grea d<
sire is to be at home to help v r
'E. his wounded child Since be ng
to here he has been visited by an
