Newspaper Article - The Thompson Killing
The killing of James Thompson by John T. Vance is one of those
unfortunate affairs which has grown out of the prevalent disregard of
private rights and the habit of carrying the deadly Winchester. Whether
Vance is justifiable or not is for a jury of his peers to say, and we
would in no wise assume a duty which is entirely theirs, but the fact
still remains that one man is dead, leaving a large family to the mercies
of the world, and the other is forced to an expense which at best is hard
to meet in the present depression. This might have been prevented had
mutual friends interfered in time. Both were good citizens and useful to
the community, and had earnest effort been made to settle the dispute
between them, Jim Thompson would have been alive and John Vance a free
man. We have too few men who are peace-makers and too many ready to
encourage trouble.
