Argus – Week of March 3, 1893 On Wednesday evening a difficulty arose between Mr. Marian Weaver, who lives five miles south of town, and a farm hand named John Grubbs, and Mr. Weaver was compelled to kill him in order, he says, to save his own live. Coroner Hardy went out on yesterday, empanelled a jury and investigated the case and returned a verdict of murder. No arrest has been made, but from what we can learn Mr. Weaver will surrender and demand a preliminary trial.
