| Headline | Shooting in Monett |
| Text | Constable Jim Johnson of Purdy arrested Harry Glenn of Monett, Wednesday, on a charge of shooting his sweetheart, Mrs. Minnie Green, at Monett, and lodged him in jail that night. Glenn and Mrs. Green were playing with a pistol when it went off shooting the latter just above the nipple, the 38 bullet lodging in her back. Glenn started for a doctor and becoming frightened started to run away. At Purdy he expected to catch a freight. As Mrs. Green refused to prosecute, Glenn has been turned loose. |
