Killing at Elkridge Stirs Northfork Officers
Dan Rose, 40, owner of the Union Gas station and dance hall at Elkridge near Northfork, was shot to death in his bed. McDowell County officers questioned his wife as they investigated a fourth killing in the Northfork area within eight days and expected possible arrests within two days. The weapon was a .22 caliber pistol, bullets struck his skull and pillow, and the open window over an embankment led to theories of a shot fired from outside. Rose, an Italian native, had lived in Northfork about twelve years and funeral services were planned for Thursday at Woodlawn Cemetery.
