Murder of I. O. Greenstreet Should be Discouraged The Homer Index says of the recent stabbing affray in Bridgeport , Mono county, California , in which I. O. Greenstreet, a miner, was cut by Jim Hawkins: the knife is said to have been plunged into Greenstreet’s bowels, whipped around to the left side – in which case the wounded man cannot survive. As Greenstreet is a peacable and harmless man, it is generally believed there was no provocation for the act, and that the stabbing was due to the inordinate desire of Hawkins to be considered a “bad man”. If such should prove to be the case, Hawkins should be hanged higher than Haman, for it is high time the crop of “bad men” of this country were gathered to their fathers.
