Hi Lois,

I have one.....

Fron the Jackson Times
*March 18, 1921 - News reached Jackson Saturday night of the killing of Breck

Little at the home of Granville Spencer on Shoulder Blade. It is said that
Little and a Combs man got into a tussle over a pistol and Combs' younger
brother drew a pistol and shot Little, killing him almost instantly. It will

be remembered Breck Little, who only a few years ago was sent to the
penetentiary for the killing of a young colored boy named Crawford, was
paroled some two years ago. It is reported that the parties were all
drinking.
