Worbington and D. E. Barmore Die Together by the use of Chloroform – Barmore is Dead and Buried, While no hope is held out for Worbington” – D. E. Barmore is dead and Sam H. Worbington is at death’s door from the effect of overdose of morphine. Last evening about 7 p.m. Barmore walked into a saloon and informed the inmates that he had taken the drug. No one believed him or paid much attention as he had been drinking but after a while it was noticed that he was overcome. A physician was sent for and everything possible was done but he died this morning at 2 a.m. It is supposed that Worbington took his dose about the same time Barmore died. It is understood they had entered into an agreement to take the fatal dose together. Barmore came to this county with his parents in his early boyhood and had served one term as Justice of the Peace and was reelected but resigned a short time ago. He was a son of the late Dr. ! Barmore. Worbington came to this town from Louisiana he owned a saloon and café that was destroyed by fire. Both men had been in the barber business here for years. Mr. Worbington is still alive but with no hope for recovery. Barmore was buried at 4 p.m. today (at the Milano Cemetery). Both men left letters. [very lengthy article]
