Chuck- Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I must have been asleep at the keyboard when I transcribed this item. I think you are exactly right-those odd words are typos. Had they been the words as written, I would have followed them by (sic). "Dib" also looks like a typo, but I don't know what it should have been and no longer have the original.

I had questions about the one below, which just came in. At the beginning, should bed man read bad man? Should struck on the heat be struck on the head? I realize there are always typos in newspaper articles, even today. If this is how the article really appeared in that old newspaper, I'll just insert "[sic]" next to each word.

MITCHELL TOUGH KILLED Willis Holler Knocked Out in Shube Burton's Saloon Tuesday Night Willis Holler, a Mitchell bed man who had served two or three terms in the penitentiary, got his quietus Tuesday night. Our information is that Holler was on a dib drunk and obstreperous. He was in Shube Burton's saloon about midnight ad soon afterward was taken home unconscious, dying about four o'clock next morning. One report is that Holler was struck on the heat with a billiard cue or a billy by the proprietor of the saloon, but some doubt was raised on that point next afternoon. It is been claimed that he died from too much whisky, perhaps on the theory that Mitchell whiskey is more potent than a club. Prosecutor Zaring and Coroner Voyles were investigating Wednesday afternoon.
