Gang, Here's a good one to figure out. Who was this "Mr. Palmertree"??? Ken --------------------------------------- The Chicago Tribune Chicago, Illinois 1885 Mrs. Douglas' Hero. Bladesville (Miss.) Blade. One day last week, in the eastern portion of this county, one Mr. Douglas was shot to death by one Parmertree. Douglas and Parmertree had a law-suit which resulted in the latter's favor. Douglas' wife, who was present, told her husband that he had been imposed upon, that she would rather be the widow of a dead hero than the wife of a living coward, and that he must kill lParmertree. Afterward Parmertree went down to Douglas' house, and not finding him was returning when Douglas shot at him from behind a tree and came out. Parmertree leveled his piece and snot and instantly killed Douglas. Parmertree surrendered himself to the officer of the law.
