L. Allen was killed by his nephew, Otis Collins, last Thursday night on the Nibbling farm near Burlington. The young man’s father, Rev. A. J. Collins, is a Baptist minister and reports have it that he and his brother-in-law Allen had not been on good terms for sometime and while under the influence of whiskey, Allen had gone to the Collins home several times and endeavored to provoke a difficulty. Last Thursday, Allen again visited the Collins’ home and a quarrel ensued and Collins struck Allen over the head with a gun, the blow resulting in death. [lengthy article]
