Sterling William Eubank , Jr., 42, was shot to death at Mt. Sterling early Tuesday morning by Carl Stockdale, 24. The killing occurred about 2:30 o'clock at the Miller Tire Station and Lunch Room across Main Street from the old Beaumont Hotel. Eubank was said to have been shot three times with a .38 caliber revolver. Two shots took effect in his head and one in the abdomen. Accounts of the shooting vary somewhat but it is generally agreed that Stockdale was eating a "hot dog" in the Miller place when Eubank entered and suggested that he take Stockdale home. Stockdale, who was said to have been drinking, resented the offer and started shooting. Eubank lived several hours after the shooting. Stockdale escaped to the S. Q. S. road house at the east end of Mt. Sterling on the Owingsville road and was later taken by Mt. Sterling officers at the home of William French at Sewell's shop west of Mt. Sterling. Stockdale has a bad record, having spent the great part of his life in the reform school. Judge Henry Prewitt committed him to that institution some years ago for attempting to wreck a fast C. & O. passenger train by placing ties on the track.
