BRIDGEWATER, Jack

Source: Indianapolis News Mon 23 May 1887 p 3

A difficulty occurred at Greencastle Saturday night about 11 o’clock between Dempson Robinson and Jack Bridgewater in which the latter was shot by Robinson and instantly killed, the ball ranging through the heart down through the kidney. Robinson was immediately arrested and placed in jail. They had quarreled over the result of a wrestling bout.  Both were tough characters. - kbz
