Dunklin Democrat: That very
good and law-abiding town Of
Poplar Bluff has another assassina.
tion to account for. An old soldier,
VIM. Kibbv, was assaulted and +.
fatally injured in the south part of
town by two Gardners, father and
son. The old man died and the two |
men were arrested. Nearly all the
murders that occur over there are
in lonely, dark places, such as cow
ards select for their attacks. Few
men are shot or killed at the Bluff |
IN the broad light Of day. But the
Republican and Citizen must under.
stand that they are not held respon.
sible for these mysterious murders.
