    3. Local newspaper clipping, date of Oct. 8, 1949 handwritten on article. TWO INVOLVED IN FIGHT AT CANTWELL. Tom Watson of Wortham, was arrested last Saturday morning, charged with stabbing and seriously wounding Bert Garrett, who resides eight miles south of Farmington. The two men presumably got into an argument outside of the Copeland Tavern, late Friday night and the stabbing resulted. Garrett was cut in the abdomen and ribs and the lungs were pierced. He suffered considerable loss of blood. A small pocket knife with a 2-1/4 inch blade was used. Sgt. Maxey of the State Patrol and Sheriff Smallen took Watson into custody and he was placed in the county jail at Farmington but later released on $2500.00 bond.
