Awful Tragedy Near Shelliywlle, the Par
ticipants JJeiilg .Former Residents
of This County.
SiiKLHVvitxE, Ky , August 12. While
in a state of temporary mental aberra
tion Lucieu Wells shot and killed his
aged father, W. Y. Wells, and then blew
his own brains out with the weapon at
their home a mile and a half aouth'of
this city a little after 8 o'clock to-night.
The tragedy happened in the front yard
in the presence of several members of
the family, but they were powerless, as
the whole affair was over almost in an
instant.
Lucien Wells was about twenty-five
years old and was subject to temporary
fits of insanity, but the family never
feared that he would commit any awful
deed. While he never worked, only at
little jobs around the house, yet he was
regarded as utterly harmless.
It was the custom of the family after
the evening meal during the summer
time to sit for a while in the front yard
and enjoy the cool fresh night air. As
usual to-night some of them took seats
while the father and son were standing
around conversing about different thing".
Without any warning whatever, Lucien
whipped out a pistol and fired at his
father, the ball entering the back. The
old man sank to the ground, and as he
did the son fired another shot into his
body. As quick as a flash he placed the
weapon to his temple and pulled the
trigger. His brains were scattered for
several feet around. His death was in
stantaneous. 'Hia father lived about
twenty minutes.
W. Y. Wella was seventy years old and
was ip good circumstances. He removed
here from Mason County ten years ago
and purchased the farm on which the
tragedy occurred. A wife, four daugl -ters
and a son, Gus Wells, survive h.m
The daughters are Mrs. Lee Thomas of
Lexington, Mrs. Ira Pylee, Mrs. George
R. Best and Miss Wells of thfa city.
Mr. W. Y. Wells, whose sad fate i
detailed above, was a brother of the latH
Thomas Wells of thiB city. The family
has many relatives and a large circ e
of friends here who were shocked by the
newa of the terrible tragedy.
