They then commenced to scuffle, and Daubenspeck who is a young athletic man, while Morrow is an elderly man, and was getting the best of it, and had him (Morrow) up against the barn. They then clinched, and Daubenspeck caught Morrow by the neck and jerked him down on all fours, and when Morrow would try to get up Daubenspeck would jerk him down again. Mrs. Morrow now appeared on the scene, and told Daubenspeck to desist, which he did, and went inside of the back door of the house. On Morrow getting up he caught up an old wooden pail and threw it at Daubenspeck as he was going in at the door. Daubenspeck then picked up an old broom handle, and came again to the door.
Morrow seeing him thus armed pulled his Jack-Knife and opened it, telling Daubenspeck to come one, he was ready for him, and advancing he was struck with the broom handle. Morrow kept advancing and Daubenspeck stepping back tripped and fell backward, and Morrow, seeing his opportunity, stabbed him with the knife. Daubenspeck then got up and ran across the slough, with Morrow following, when Richard Stockton got between them and Morrow went off, and Daubenspeck came back with his hand on his breast, and told Stockton he was stabbed and was taken into the house, and Stockton ran for a doctor. The wounded man lingered until twelve o'clock yesterday when he died.
The body was taken to the morgue of Hallet & Loy, where an examination was made by Dr. J.A. Dawson, who states that he found a wound on the right side of the chest, two and a half inches in length, running parallel with the ribs, between the second and third, and penetrating into the cavity of the chest, cutting the tissue of the upper part of the middle lobe of the right lung. The wound in the lung is about one-and-a-half inches long, and penetrated about one-and-a-half or two inches into the lung, and would produce death by hemorrhage, the cavity of the chest being filled with blood.
Acting coroner Hallet held an inquest and a verdict was given in accordance with the above facts.
Morrow was arrested immediately after the stabbing, and lodge in the city prison. He is an elderly man, fifty-three years of age, and is a native of Kentucky. Daubenspeck was born in California and was twenty-five years old, tall, and weighed probably 180 pounds. The funeral may take place tomorrow if a brother of the deceased, who has been telegraphed for arrives this evening.

Sidenote: there were two separate trials, and Morrow got 18 years in state prison.
