HIS SECOND VICTIM!
Lee Montjey Instantly Kills Har
vey Harris Last Night.
HIS SCRAPE EIGHT YEARS AGO.
Ileth Victims Colored Men, nnd Beth Killed
Near the Same Spot.
Lee Montjey shot and killed Harvey
Harris, colored, near the old King house
en East Fourth street.
The affray occurred about eleven
o'clock.
Twe shots were fired, only ene of
which took cfTcct, the ball entering nbeut
the center of the breast, causing death
almost instantly.
The facts, ns far as they could be
ascertained, are as follews:
It seems that Harris bad gene out en
Fourth street for the purpose of escorting
Lcennn Banion, n colored woman, who
was visiting her sister, te her home in the
Fifth Ward.
Montjey was near the bouse when
Harris camo'aleng. and Montjey says be
(Montjey) asked him where a man by tbe
name of Tem Sewers lived.
Harris replied that he was-net "keep
ing Tem Sewers."
, An altercation followed, in which
Montjey claims Harris struck him in the
face, and was about te repeat the blew
when he fired.
Soen after the sheeting Montjey gave
himself up te Officer Steckdalc, who
placed him in jail.
In addition te tbe weapon used, n
88-callbcr Smith & Wessen, an ugly-
looking knife with a blade nbeut four
inches long was found in bis pocket.
Harris was one of tbe best known
colored men in Maysvllle. He has been
a familiar figure about the hotels for a
long while. Fer snme time be has been
engaged at hauling baggage between the
depot and the different hotels. He was
about thirty years old, and came te this
county from Cyntblana about ten years
age, where bis parents still live. He was
unmarried, '
This is net the first sheeting scrape Lee
Montjey has figured in. About eight
years age be killed a colored man by tbe
name of Lewis Berry, within thirty feet
of the spot where he killed Han is last
night. Fer this he was acquitted en the
ground of self-defense.
A pest mortem was held en Harris's
body by Dr. C. C. Owens. Frem the
course the bullet took be must have been
standing with his side toward Montjey
when the fatal shot was fired. It passed
through the lungs and ledged near tbe
heart.
The inquest is in progress befere 'Squlre
Miller.

MAYSVILLE MAN'S GOOD GUESS.
Billy Hudy Knows When Eggs Will Hatch,
Bat Didn't Get a Prize.
A novel suit is threatened against the
Kahn Clothing Company of Cincinnati.
Seme four weeks age Kahn placed a
hen in his window en a nest of eggs and
advertised that the customer who should
guess the nearest te the tlme when the
eggs would hatch out would be pre
sented with a geld watch, the second
nearest guesscr te be awarded w'tb a
diamond stud, and the third with a silk
umbrella.
During the contest W. N. Rudy of
Bellevue, Ky., made the guess "Never,"
which was duly recerded en the books,
the clerk at the time stating that us no
one hud made a similar guess be (Hud)
would receive the watch if the eggs never
hatched out. .
Monday Mr. Rudy went Inte the cstab
lishment, but found that the prizes bad
been awarded te three pcisetis who
guessed respectively 24 days, 1 hour and
5 minutes, 24 days. 1 hour and 7 minutes,
nud 24 days and 5 minutes.
Rudy kicked, knowing full well that
no egg under the sun would hatch after
24tlajs.
He had been a poultry fancier himself
for some years. The Kahn people finally
acknowledged that the eggs had net
hatched and that they bad awarded the
prizes te theso guessing the highest
number of days, ignoring Rudy's correct
guess of "never."
Attorney Rockheld was retained by
Rudy, and n notice served en Kahn
that suit would be commenced for the
watch.
