1901 Murder of J. T. Bussell, of Junction City, Union Parish Louisiana
Farmerville "Gazette", 2 January 1901
==================================================================================

MURDER AT JUNCTION CITY.

     News came over the telephone Tuesday morning from Junction City that Bob 
Mullins had shot and killed J. T. Bussell, of the mercantile firm of 
Burnside & Bussell of that place. The killing occurred about 12 o'clock 
Monday night.

     From what we could learn the murdered man was walking along the street near 
the Garland old stand, returning from a visit. Bob Mullins, with his two brothers 
Walter and Will, was standing on the opposite side of the street, when Bob fired 
at Bussell twice with a pistol killing him almost instantly. The murder was 
committed on the ARkansas side and we learn that Mullins surrnedered to the 
Union County officials. We failed to learn the origin of the trouble.
