Argument ends in gun play
Jack Robinson, proprietor of Miami Hotel, hit in hip, and Mat Young, tenant, has wound in abdomen - latter in serious condition - Hiram Farmer admits doing shooting and Claims self-defense.
As a result of an argument in the rear room of the Miami Hotel, Park and B street, early this afternoon, Mat Young, tenant of that place, and Jack Robinson, proprietor of the Hotel are in care of physicians suffering from shot wounds, and Hiram Farmer, 813 Second Street, this city, is in custody of the police charged with shooting with intent to kill.
Those who were in the hotel at the time of the shooting stated that the three men were in a rear room of the place but a short while when shots were heard.
Immediate call for police brought Officer Addison to the place and Farmer was place under arrest.
Robinson and Young were taken to the Mercy Hospital in the patrol ambulance; the former shot in the hip, a severe fracture being sustained, and Young shot in the abdomen.
Investigation by police at the hotel indicated, police say, that at least three shots were fired, as one bullet was lodged in a partition of the wall. The shooting was, according to police, done with a 48-calibre revolver.
After being taken to police headquarters, Farmer gave his name as H. F. Farmer, residence 813 Second street, and stated that he formerly was watchman.
Officer Neidermann of the local force stated that Farmer was reluctant to talk. Neidermann stated Farmer said that he (Farmer) was in a rear room of the hotel and that Robinson and Young attacked him. Farmer claimed that one of the men fired a shot at him.
Mercy hospital official stated that Young's condition is probably serious. Dr. Mark Millikin has charge of the patient. No information was given regarding the condition of Robinson.
Tenants of the Miami Hotel failed to give any information regarding the shooting. Robinson has been proprietor of the hotel for some time and Young has been living there for three weeks.
Detectives of the local department are working on the case.
Later Farmer broke the silence which possessed him shortly after time of arrest and gave out the following statement regarding the affair in the police.
He admits that he shot Young in self-defense but states he does not remember shooting Robinson. He claimed he merely stopped in the hotel as he was passing and claims that Young and Robinson started after him. He claims that Young drew a gun. Farmer showed a mark to the police on his coat where he claimed Young shot him.
Farmer also had a cut on his face. He stated that Robinson hit him.
To Police Chief Stricker Farmer stated that he did not attempt to evade arrest but that he presented himself to Officer Addison.
The Journal News, Hamilton, Ohio. Monday, 3 November 1919
Shooting was over $11 sale. Victims of gun fight are not out of danger. Self-defense is Farmer's claim.
Police say two shots were fired and both by man under arrest.
The condition of Matt Young and John Robinson, the two men shot by H. F. Harmer at the Miami Hotel Monday afternoon, was reported as fair at Mercy Hospital today, but neither an d especially Young have passed the danger line.
The weapon used by Farmer was a 45 calibre Colt's revovlvor carrying a heavy ball. The bullet that struck Young entered to the right of the navel, ranged backward and it is thot passed thru the stomach, came out at the right hip and imbedded itself in a nearby wall where it was dug out and recovered by the police.
Robinson was shot in the left hip and the bullet was not located early today.
Argument over sale.
The police say, as a result of their investigation, that the trouble occurred over a sale transaction between Farmer and Robinson involving H. Farmer and his son-in-law James Jones, went to the hotel in a taxicab and Farmer at once started an argument with Robinson when they me t in the wash room in the rear. Young tried to act as peacemaker and to restrain Farmer from violence. But Farmer drew his pistol, shot Young and then Shot Robinson, the police are told.
Farmer's claims.
Farmer claims that Young first shot at him, which Young and Robinson deny and that he shot in self-defense and he points to his powder burned coat as proof that Young fired at him. But the police are positive that only two shots were fired, both by Farmer, that Farmer himself shot at Young thru his coat and when he was disarmed after his arrest tow empty shells were found in his pistol and four loaded cartridges.
Farmer is 34 years old and came here some time ago from Manchester, Clay County, Kentucky. Young boarded at the Miami Hotel of which Robinson is the proprietor.
Farmer is charged with shooting with intent to kill and is held without bond pending the outcome of Young and Robinson's wounds.

Another shooting scrape.
Former watchman of the Niles Tool Works runs wild.
What is likely to prove a murder occurred on last Monday shortly after the noon hour at the Miami Hotel, North B street and Park avenue, when H. F. Farmer, a former watchman employed at the Niles Tool Works Company, shot two men, John Robinson and Matt Young. Bother wounded men were taken to Mercy Hospital. Young is said to be in a serious condition and is likely to die. Farmer is being held until the extent of the injuries of the two men is determined.
Farmer was employed at the Niles Tool Works as watchman until two weeks ago at which time a number of the men employed as watchmen at the big plant were laid off, no doubt because it was thought that the near-molders might now be trusted not to hurt each other. At least it is thought that that was the purpose of employing guards at the big plant. At least no other reason can be thought of.
The Butler County Press, Hamilton, Ohio. Friday, 7 November 1919.

Mangled Body Of Stock Man Found In Lot
Stanford, Ky., Nov.13 (Special) – The mangled body of George W. Spivey, 64, Crab Orchard stock trader, was found late today in a barn lot near his home.
Acting Coroner T.D. Newland said following an inquest that death was from an unknown cause. Newland advanced the theory, however, that Spivey had suffered a heart attack and that pigs in the lot had attacked him. A team of horse was in the lot and Newland said it was possible that one of the horses had kicked him.
His wife, Mrs. Mary Jane Peters Spivey [note: this is the name of his mother, not his wife] found the body and reported the discovery.
Survivors, besides his wife, include four daughters, Mrs. Gabe Hoskins and Mrs. Robert Newcomb, both of Crab Orchard, and Mrs. Josephine Spath and Mrs. Bessie Robinson, both of Hamilton, Ohio, and three sons, Henry Spivey, Crab Orchard; Arthur Spivey, Advance, Ind., and Elzie Spivey of Michigan.

Text from Ancestry:
My husbands Aunt Helen (Kratzer) Davis who was born in 1913 and just celebrated her 100th birthday in June 2013, and lives in California. She worked on her family genealogy many years ago, she knew how much I was interested in our family tree and she so graciously gave me her handy work a few years ago and it has been so helpful in my search. There has been a few in Ancestry that get the parents for Edward George Robinson mixed up, and I hope this can clear some of the confusion.
Aunt Helens grandfather Edward George Robinson "Ned" as he was called by the family was the son of Julius Robinson and Elizabeth McDaniel. Aunt Helen said they always called her Granny Beth. The McDaniels and Robinson's came from North Carolina, they wereScotch-Irish. Later they moved to Kentucky and made their home there. Granny Beth made her home most of the time with her son Edward and his family. She was a Herb doctor and nurse, she would always walk from house to house nursing the ones in need. She had been thrown from a horse, and left one leg badly injured, she would never ride a horse after that, and would walk every where.

The story Helen (Kratzer) Davis wrote about her grandfather and entered her story in her little book on the Robinson family, I will share. Her nephew David Kratzer inherited her little book in 2012 that was given to him by his cousin James Davis. Jim is the son of Helen. I wish Helen had put a year down when she entered her stories in the little book. I do know she wrote most of her stories when she was living with her married daughter in California. Today, 2013, she lives in Antelope Valley Care Center, in Lancaster, California. On June 14, 2013 she will be 100 years old. Helen has Alzheimer's Disease and does not recognize her family. Her little book with the pretty rose floral cover hold precious small stories that we will always treasure.
Edward was a Union Soldier in Kentucky. In the 7th Army Regiment, Co. B. Fought in the Civil War, from 1861-1864. Met his wife Mary Tennessee Phipps, while serving in the Army for 3 years. Grandfather Edward was injured in one of the battles. He died at the age of 46 in 1888, leaving a wife and 10 children. He died 4 months before his youngest child was born. Edward was buried in the Macedonia Baptist Church Cemetery. The church had bought a large Tomb Stone for his grave, honoring a Civil War Veteran. The Robinson family attended the Macedonia Baptist Church. Mary Tennessee Phipps was married at the age of 14 to Edward George Robinson. They had 13 children. Their home was in Berea, Kentucky. Their first son was born in the year 1867. Thomas Robinson.
