HI,
I was the one whom Ms. Lankford was referring to in regards to Dick Kitchen. His name was spelled a variety of ways but this seems to be the proper wary of spelling it. Here is my original inquiry about Dick Kitchen:

"I am attempting to locate information about Andrew Jackson "Dick" Kitchen who had been a buskwacker in southern Missouri during the war. He hailed from Phelps County, near Rolla. After the war, a bounty of $300 was placed on his head by the Missouri governor and Dick went to Arkansas. He worked as a wagon driver for awhile. According to family tradition, Dick was in Evening Shade, Arkansas shoeing his horse when he hung up his pistols on the bellows while he worked. An unknown assailant pulled one of the pistols and shot Dick, killing him. He is supposedly buried in or around Evening Shade. I was hoping to locate a newspaper article, court record or any document to support the story and possibly locate the grave site of Dick Kitchen. Anyone around Evening Shade or knows the story who might be able to give me a hand?"

Since my asking the question on the Missouri Civil War Message board, Gay Mathis discovered this for me (Way to go, Gay!):

A Desperado Kill

Batesville, (Ark.) Republican tells the following story of the killing of a desperado: On Monday, the 13th inst., a desperado character, named, Dick Kitchen, came to the town of Hookram, Lawrence county, for the purpose of having a pair of navy revolvers repaired. Having left them at a gunsmith's, he stepped out, and went into an adjoining drinking saloon. He was there but a few minutes when two men, who doubtless were watching an opportunity to effect his capture, entered and called on him to surrender; but he refused, at the same time making an effort to procure a pistol, when they fired, killing him instantly. Dick Kitchen was from Missouri, and during the war was engaged in bushwhacking, robbery and plunder. He has been declared an outlaw and murderer by the authorities of that state, and a reward of $1,000 offered for his capture, dead or alive. It is believed he was one of the party that so foully murdered Dowthitt last December. In a conversation with the same men who afterwards killed him, held but a short time before his death, he stated that he intended removing his family to Texas, after which he would return to this section and murder five or six men whom he named, mentioning among the number the name of one of the men with whom he was conversing. The people in the neighborhood of Hookram have always regarded him as a notoriously bad character, and his death occasions but little regret. The two men who shot him came to this town on last Friday and surrendered themselves to the military authorities, but were immediately released. Their names are George Herrett and ------Lasserty."
Dick Kitchen was a particularly mean bushwacker here in Missouri. Only recent inquiries into his and others like him the Phelps County, Missouri area are proving to show Kitchen's particular ferocious type of warfare. If you can find anything about Dick Kitchen in Fort Smith, I would be grateful. If anyone can direct me to more information about the shooting in Batesville, Arkansas, or possible military records I might be able to search, I would be grateful.
