Iowa Recorder Greene, Butler, Iowa March 20, 1907 IOWA STATE NEWS MAN SHOT BY EDITOR DIES Latte is Charged with Murder and Violence is Feared M.S. Brundridge, who was shot by A.H. Sniff, editor of the Harrison County News because he objected to an article in the paper, died in Missouri Valley of his injuries. Feeling among the friends of Brundridge is quite bitter and it is feared violence may be attempted on Sniff. Sniff is held in $5,000 bond on a charge that was changed from assault with intent to ill to one of murder. The trouble arose over a row at a dance in which Brundridge's brother-in-law, A.L. Fouts, was stabbed in the neck following a quarrel. A strange part of the whole affair is that the name of the dead man was never mentioned in the original article detailing the trouble at the dance.
