Burnes, John - About the year 1884 William Frost shot and killed John
Burnes, at a point on the Lebanon road eight miles south of Linn Creek.
A coroner's inquest was held, and the evidence developed the facts that
Burnes had previously threatened Frost, and that on this occassion had
raised his gun to shoot him, but that Frost was the quicker of action.
The verdict of the jury was, in substance, that Burnes came to his
death by a gunshot wound from a gun fired by Frost in self-defense.
