Tragic shooting on old seminary hill shocks Lexington
In Lexington, a shooting at the seminary hill left Jas dead and Fdeu wounded. The incident followed a dispute fueled by threats and a claim the gun was accidentally fired. Hayden was arrested, posted bond, and re-arrested as the coroner pursued the inquest. Funeral services for James were held, and the town mourned a popular local figure. Separately, local sports saw Lexington triumph in a late rally at Riverside park, while other notes covered travel fare changes and a minister's travel hiccup due to new rail rules.
