of his father that he open the door. No answer came and young Byrd se
cured a piece of heavy material, with which he broke in the door. As the door swung from its hinges Almanza Byrd fired a shotgun at his son's breast. The charge entered near the
heart and Nimrod fell at his father's WHICH
and grandfather's feet, a corpse. The coroner's jury exonorated Byrd and County Judge Hazelrigg of Montgomery county dismissed the charge

which the filicide gave. There were ALL CLUES RUN DOWN

Owinesville. Ky., July 19. When
Almanza Byrd, aged 50 years, fired a
load of buckshot through the heart of
his 30-year-old-son, Nimrod Byrd, at
Stoops, Montgomery county, eight miles from here, there passed a man
who for years has terrorized the com
munity in which he lived and who was
feared by almost everybody.
Between Byrd's home and Mount Sterling, the nearest town, there are probably not more than four or five residences whose walls have not been almost riddled with bullets from
Byrd's pistol. A favorite method of the young desperado was to ride along the turnpike and fire at any spot that looked like it would make a good mark Lamp light, windows, people or any oth convenient object. He was an unerring shot with a pistol, and it is said could hit a quarter at 50 feet. But these deeds of violence were committed only when he was under the influence of whiskey. When sobe there was no more courtly, polished gentleman than Nim Byrd, and his friends were numbered by hundreds. It was owing to this fact that his death has not occurred heretofore. It was at his home that Byrd completely dominated and terrorized.
There, if the food on the table did not suit him, he would draw his revolver and shoot the dishes from the table, or, at other times, shoot the food from the dishes and leave the latter. The doors, floors and ceilings at his home are literally riddled with bullets, and much of the furniture shows marks of the bullets fired by the drink-crazed man. At Enmity With His Father. From his youth he has been at outs with his father, Almanza Byrd. No cause is known, but when drunk Nimrod would always go home and call for his father, saying he "wished to settle with him." In spite of his shortcomings, and in spite of his antipathy to him, Almanza Byrd loved
his son, and when he would come
home and, with his revolver in his
hand, demand that his father should
come forth, the grief-stricken father
would go to an up-stairs room and there take refuge. Then it was a fa
vorite pastime with Nimrod to stand
n a room under the one where his
father was and shoot through the ceiling at him. Tiring of this he would go on the outside of the house and shoot through the windows at the ceil
ing of his father's room.
Many thousand dollars had been
spent by Byrd's father and grand
father in geting hi mout of trouble,
which his handiness with a pistol and
his love for whiskey had led him into.
Last autumn young Byrd went to
Mount Sterling and called at the post
office for his mail. A box containing
a pistol was handed to him, and, without placing it in his pocket, he loaded
the weapon and drove in his buggy
down the street. He had a grudge
against Dee Smith, a policeman, and, sighting Smith, Byrd began creating
a disturbance. Smith attempted to arrest Byrd, when the latter turned and shot him through the body. For
weeks Smith's life was despaired of but at last he recovered. Byrd was discharged from custody by paying i.
fine of $250, but it is said it cost his father and grandfather $5000 to dear him. Desperado's Last Day. The day of his death Byrd came home intoxicated. He went to his room upstairs and, taking his bed. set it on fire. Breaking out a window he threw the bed out. Then he went down stairs and announced his intention of burning the house and everything in it, including the family. He placed the burning bed under the veranda and then stood guard to prevent any one extinguishing the fire. The younger brother, Roy, threw water on the blaze. Nimrod secured a hoe and ran his brother from the scene, saying he would kill him. Then the fire was extinguished. When Nimrod returned from chasing his brother lie called for his father, as was his custom. His 70-year old grandfather, Nimrod Byrd, came out and entreated his grandson to become quiet. But the more he entreated the noisier Nim became. At last Almanza Byrd went to an upstairs room, secured a shotgun
