THE DEMOCRAT, Mt. Sterling, KY
Friday, 3 March 1882
>From Hazel Green:
A sad shooting affray, between George Falkner and Wilburn Day, happened on the evening of the 17th of Feb. at the residence of Col. L.M. Day, some two miles from town. It
was an old grudge, caused by Wilburn Day shooting Falkner's dog some eighteen months ago. Falkner was living near Campton at the time the dog was shot, but since that
time, he has moved on L.M. Day's farm.
Wilburn Day was passing through on his way from
Frankfort and stopped to stay all night with L.M. Day, and, while there, Falkner was passing and stopped at the fence and was talking with Mrs. Day, when he saw young Day
in the house. He sent for him to come out, for he had a settlement to make with him.
Day would not go out, but went in another room and locked the door. Falkner forced his way through the door and struck at Day; when he did this Day shot him. Whisky was the
cause of all the trouble. Wilburn Day is a son of Marion Day, of Lost Creek. Mr. Falkner, when out of whisky, is a nice and hard working man. The doctors have given
him up, and he is expected to live but a short time. He will leave a very devoted wife and eight little children and a great many friends to mourn his loss.
