"NAKE" BRODIE WAS KILLED AT VALLIANT.  JOHN DOBBS IS IN THE COUNTY 
JAIL CHARGED WITH THE MURDER.

Another murder took place near Valliant, Friday evening, where it is 
alleged that John Dobbs stabbed "Nake" Brodie, killing him instantly.

The tragedy occurred over school matters, it is said.  Dobbs did not 
like some of the teachers and fell out with Mr. Brodie, who was a 
director of the school, because he would not discharge him.

Mr. Brodie was passing the home of Dobbs when he was attacked by John 
Dobbs and his father.  They invited him out of his wagon for a fight 
and began throwing rocks at him.  As Brodie alighted from the wagon, 
it is alleged that John Dobbs got hold of him and stabbed him in the 
heart several times.

John Dobbs is now in the county jail at Idabel.

Mr. Brodie was a good citizen and his friends regret to learn of his 
death.
