Duncan Dewar dies from assault a year after conduct on his property
Duncan Dewar died yesterday after noon at 4 o'clock in Dr Fletcher's sanatorium from brain hemorrhage caused by an assault a year earlier when he tried to eject a trespasser from his property at 314 Central avenue. He was born in Scotland and came to America at sixteen, working as a machinist and later supervising engine erectors in California before settling in Indianapolis. He served as a Democratic councilman in one ward, survived by a widow and six children. The assault was by Robinson and Logsdon, who were arrested. Robinson was fined and the death followed from complications linked to the injury. Robinson's whereabouts were unknown.
