Denison Section 11
The Sunday Gazetteer Sunday, July 2, 1905 pg. 4 A MAN KILLED Last Saturday night a general jubilee was held in Sugar Bottom, the occasion being the completion of Lon McAleer's Red River packet, the Anna Peruna. About midnight the crowd became very hilarious, not on the premises of Mr. McAleer but the streets near the Katy crossing. It is alleged that a number were fighting drunk, at any rate a general mix up place and during the melee a young man named Jack Glover, who resided on West Nelson street, was stabbed in the abdomen. Glover lingered til Tuesday night when he died. A young man named Tom Smith, son of horse trader Smith, was arrested on the charge of doing the stabbing. Smith was taken over to the Sherman jail. It is stated that before Glover died, he declared most emphatically that Smith was innocent, that he knew who inflicted the fatal wound but refused to divulge the name. There are a great many conflicting versions of the affair and it is going to be a hard matter to place the guilt where it properly belongs. It is stated that there is a young woman at the bottom of the affair and that jealous prompted the murder. The county attorney has been over and will no doubt get at the bottom of the facts. A gentleman who was at the bedside of Glover Sunday night informs the Gazetteer that Glover declared most positively that he did not know who cut him with a knife, that it was wrong to hold Tom Smith, that an injustice might be done an innocent man. Two other parties who were present when the disturbance took place state that it is impossible to determine who cut Glover. It was quite a long time before Glover realized he had been stabbed.
