Deadly blow in saloon dispute ends in fatality
Len Triplett, a 27 year old Virginia native and wagon driver with ties to Reno and local dispatches, dies from a head wound after a bungstarter blow during a conflict with William Dreyer at Ninth and Mission streets. Dreyer, a 24-25 year old German worker for Israel Buzzini, claims Triplett attacked him in a doorway and both wrestled for a two foot bungstarter before the fatal strike. Triplett was hospitalized after the assault, gave little cooperation, and died at 10 55 p m on Saturday night after lingering through the week. The case hinges on whether Dreyer acted in self defense after Triplett grabbed the bungstarter and advanced.
