DIED FROM INJURIES
~
Mt. Vernon, April 4. – Charles McFarland, a young man of Lisbon, died this morning at his home as the result of being accidentally stabbed last Thursday. McFarland and a friend, Will Albright, were scuffling in the black-smith shop at the latter’s brother, the former with a pair of pliers and the latter with a large knife in his hand. In the scuffle McFarland made a lunge at Albright, catching the knife squarely in his left side. The left lung was punctured. McFarland was carried to a physician’s office and later taken home. He has been growing worse steadily since Saturday night. Albright is nearly crazed with grief. McFarland was about 22 years of age. He was married five years ago to Miss Anna Graver of Lisbon. They have one child.
