As a result of a fight with Alvin Oldham, a blacksmith of this place, Ephraim Elliott, a farmer three miles east of Orleans, died this evening at8 o'clock.
On Monday morning, Sept. 21, Elliott and Oldham quarreled over a land deal which Elliott was advising Oldham's mother, who also is Elliott's sister, to make. Oldham insisted that his mother should not make the deal and when she told him that the deal was already made, Elliott jeered at Oldham. Oldham knocked Elliott down with his fist.
Since that time Elliott had been unconscious most of the time and gradually grew worse until this evening when he died. Elliott was sixty-seven years old and Oldham is about thirty.
