George BARNARD Shot to Death at a Dance by Two Desperadoes. Article Text: At a dance at Rock Creek, near here last night, Dave EVANS and John HOWELL appeared for the purpose, as they said, of raising a disturbance and "doing up" George BARNARD. They found BARNARD and drew their revolvers, but BARNARD was too quick for EVANS, the spokesman, and sent a ball crashing through his mouth. BARNARD's revolver only contained two cartridges, and after firing the second shot he was at the mercy of his assailants, who emptied their revolvers at him. HOWELL following him up and shooting him until he fell dead. Frank LEDBETTER, a bystander, was shot in the thigh. HOWELL gave himself up and EVANS walked to a house nearby where he lies in a critical condition. An old grudge is at the bottom of the affair occasioned by trouble over a woman. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ IL-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
