LEE, Burrell - (from The Eureka Springs Republican} We learn from Mr. Wesley Kelley of Clifty the particulars of a shooting affray near Blanset station. Mr. J.W. Knox shot and killed Mr. Burrell Lee. The difficulty arose at a dance in the neighborhood and Lee insulted Knox when Knox gave him a sound threshing. On the Monday following Lee rode up to where Knox was at work with his team and with out any warning of his intention began firing at Knox, two shots taking effect in the leg. Knox then drew his pistol and at the first fire Lee leaped from his saddle, mortally wounded. Lee died Tuesday at 11 o'clock. Knox has not been arrested and is suffering intensely from the two shots received in the leg.
