"Dr. Gibbs Former Resident of This County Killed at Vienna Satur.
Jefferson City, December 26-Dr. Charles A. Gibbs, 59 years old, prominent physician of Vienna, Maries county, died her in St. Mary's hospital from wounds received in a gun battle with H. S. Hollenbeck, merchant on the streets of Vienna late Saturday. Vienna is forty-two miles south of here. Hollenbeck was not arrested and no charges had been filed against him tonight, according to W.H. Holmes, prosecutor of Marie county. Mr. Holmes does not know what action will be taken in connection with the shooting he said. It is reported ill feeling had existed between Dr. Gibbs and Hollenbeck, business men of the Maries county met on the streets of Vienna late Saturday afternoon and exchanged shots. After the shooting Dr. Gibbs was rushed to the hospital here. Dr. Gibbs formerly lived in Memphis, Scotland County, where his body was taken for burial. He had practiced medicine in Vienna eight years. He is survived by a widow and one daughter. No inquest was held here and Mr. Holmes said no place had been made to hold one in Vienna. Late reports from Vienna Mo indicate the death of Dr. Gibbs was the result of a feud. His demise was at the hands of a son of Hollenbeck following alleged threats by Dr. Gibbs against the elder Hollenbeck. To a Post Dispatch reporter the elder Hollenbeck made this Statement: "Saturday afternoon I went to my corn crib, near my store, to get some corn for the chickens," said the elder Hollenbeck. "When I came out the door with my arms full, Dr. Gibbs was across the street with a pistol pointed at me. He had an automatic pistol and a sawed-off shot gun and fired one shot at me, but must have missed him. Gibbs dodged into a garage and took another shot at me. My younger son, H. S. Hollenbeck had been on the street and he came running with a pistol. He came up as Gibbs ran around the garage and shot Gibbs from across the street."
The body was brought by truck to Ft. Donaldson, the county where funeral services were held at 4 p.m. Tuesday. Frank Slocum of near Baring in the absence of a preacher, made a nice talk concerning the deceased, to a congregation which filled the church building. The body bearers were Ira Coley, Vernon Small, Amos Hillbrandt, Meeks Henry, Nick Props and Sim March. Mrs. Gibbs, daughter, son in law and grandchild accompanied the body to Ft. Donaldson church."
His death was ruled as a homicide on the Missouri death certificate #36355.
