Monroe Journal July 16, 1903
A deplorable homicide occurred near Buena Vista, this county, on Thursday 
night of last week, Mr. Dan McMurphy being shot and instantly killed by Mr. 
Julius Farish, his nephew.
The circumstances as we gather from reliable sources, were as follows:
Mr. McMurphy and Farish were present at a church supper at the home of Mrs. 
Bettie Griffith when a dispute arose between the parties over a voting 
contest. Mr. McMurphy assaulted Mr. Farish striking him several times in the 
face when the latter drew his pistol and shot the former, the bullet taking 
effect in the heart causing death in a few moments. The close relationship 
existing between the two families renders the affair the more deplorable. Mr. 
McMurphy leaves a wife and eight children.
