Sanders-Franks.Quarrel.1898.Grant.NEWS


Harvey Sanders, of Crittenden, and Dave T. Franks, of Mt. Zion, both
of Grant County, had a quarrel Saturday afternoon at Crittenden over
some former trouble.  Franks went to his home about three miles away,
for his shotgun, and on his return met Sanders in Sechrist's saloon and
renewed the quarrel.  The barkeeper put them both out and shut the door,
when four shots were heard, and going out he found Franks lying dead in
the street with a bullet hole behind his left ear.  Franks' shotgun and
Sanders both disappeared.  Franks leaves a wife and six children.
