MO State Genealogical Association Journal, Winter 1989, pages 15-32, Extracts from the Rolla Herald, 1894, contributed by Barbara Pugh, Rt 3, Box 154, Rolla, MO 64501 pg 28, June 21, 1894 - (Licking News) - Word reached here Thursday that a man by the name of COX fired sixty buckshot into his son in law, one Mr. BITTICK. The men spent the day in Houston and were returning home both intoxicated, coming to where the road forked COX wished to go to Raymondville and wanted to ride BITTICK's mule, BITTICK would not agree to this, and after considerable quarreling COX went home got his shotgun loaded both barrels, went to BITTICK's house, called him out and shot him twice, one through the legs and again through the body. COX at once went to Houston and gave himself up to the authorities. BITTICK survived only a few hours. Can anyone identify the above COX and BITTICK men? Thankx, Mary Bittick Gallano
