New Albany (IN) Public Press, Aug. 10, 1892:
"During the Democratic Convention at Winslow, Levi Read complained to the sheriff of Pike County that a stranger had insulted his daughter, and the offender was found in a saloon, surrounded by a number of friends. Read and the sheriff also had a friendly backing, and the arrest of the stranger precipitated a general fight in which Peter and Bart Stinson were fatally stabbed. Levi Read was dangerously cut in the back and two of his sons were injured. Several men were badly bruised with clubs and other weapons."
(Note: Neither Peter nor his brother Bart was fatally stabbed after all, but they were badly injured by stabbing.)
