Bloomington (IN) Telephone  

February 3, 1891, p. 1. 

John Black and James Goss, two highly respected young farmers 
who reside a half mile west of Gosport, became involved in a 
quarrel Friday morning (January 30) regarding a fence that stood on the 
dividing line between their farms. But very few words had 
passed when Black drew a revolver and began firing at his friend 
and neighbor from boyhood. He shot three times, the third shot 
striking Goss in the bowels. Goss cannot recover. Black mounted 
his horse and escaped. Both are men with families.
