The Louisville Courier of a recent date has the following:
Yesterday evening Mr. Thomas B. Dent druggist, was fatally stabbed by Edwin Clark, formerly a clerk at Mr. C. Spencer's Auction House. He was stabbed in the breast with a small bowie-knife, the blade of which penetrated three or four inches, causing his death in three minutes. Clark, after inflicting the fatal wound, and seeing Dent fall prostrate upon the pavement, went directly to the jail and gave himself up.
The affair occurred in the street, in front of or opposite to Mr. Dent's shop. We heard various versions of the affair, but as it will undergo a prompt legal investigation, we shall await the issue of that examination before giving the details. Clark, it is said, received some severe blows from a poker in Dent's hands.
Mr. Dent was an estimable gentleman, and his death brings sorrow to the hearts of his many friends.
