Crawford County (IN) Democrat, February 21, 1918, p. 4.
One night last week, in a scuffle, Floyd Denton stabbed Merle Taylor in the
breast with a knife. If the knife had been a little sharper, the cut would
have been fatal, but as it was it was very painful and somewhat serious.
Merle, after a few days confinement to his bed, is able to be out again.
This should be a warning to all boys who are inclined to think of using a
knife when angry in the future.
