Arthur Webb, aged 22, shot and killed Jeanette Derby, aged 23, in her school house, north of Muscatine, Thursday morning. She had refused to go to the fair with him. He entered the school house and shot and killed her, and then went outside and shot himself.

Transcriber’s Note: Find-a-Grave shows she is buried in Oakdale Cemetery and was born March 20, 1882 and died September 14, 1905.
