killed in the prison by Dimiter Popoff, a Bulgarian convict, who struck him a 
terrific blow on the head with an iron bar.


Additional Comments:
The date of this issue of the Butler Herald was January 3rd, 1918.  This news 
item was probably taken from a publication from the week before, which would 
mean the death occurred sometime in late December 1917.  I'm not a researcher 
of the Brock family and don't know an exact date of death for this individual.
