Galveston Daily News, Galveston TX, Wednesday, 25 Jan 1893, p. 1. 'THREE AGAINST ONE. He Shoots Down Two f Them and Puts the Other to Flight. New Orleans, Fa., Jan 24. - A morning paper's Glasgow, Ky., says: At a dance given at Ben THOMPSON's in the western part of this county, Saturday night, a bloody affray occurred. Among the guests were Babe BURGESS, aged 18, and three WHEELOCK brothers - Zack, John and Ellis - between whom bad blood existed. As soon as they met the WHEELOCKS assaulted BURGESS. The dance was broken up and the WHEELOCKS ejected. They returned shortly afterward, however, armed with knives and clubs, and again attacked BURGESS. He had armed himself in anticipation of their return, and when they made their onslaught he drew his pistol and began firing. At the first shot Zack fell, with a bullett through his heart. "John pushed ahead, and he too fell, shot just over the heart and through the lung. "Ellis turned in his tracks when he saw his two brothers fall, and was just jumping through the window when BURGESS fired his last shot, the bullet going through Ellis' coattail, but doing no further damage. "John WHEELOCK is dying. "BURGESS surrendered and was brought to Glasgow tonight. Those in the affray are all young men and had stood very high in the community."
