Found Guilty of Murder.
Dubuque, Dec. 8.—The jury in the case of Vincent Lebarge and Patrick O'Rourke, on trial for the killing of David Gobat, brought in a verdict of not guilty. They were out only a short time. Gobat met his death in a drunken brawl some two months ago.

Transcriber’s Note: The headline doesn’t agree with the verdict. One said guilty and the other not guilty.

Find a Grave shows he was born in 1867 and is buried in Linwood Cemetery.
