It is learned that not only jealousy was the cause of the trouble, but that O’Brien made
improper proposals to her and attempted to do violence to her person on Sunday evening, when
she resisted and declared that she would tell her mother, and he told her he would kill her if she
did so. When on his visit to her on the morning of the tragecy, he asked her if she had told anyone
of his conduct the evening before, and when she replied that she had, he drew his revolver and
commenced to fire. Both parties are well connected in Wayne township, the young lady being a
niece of county Commissioner Ed. McLOUGHLIN and the young man a nephew of Mrs.
McLOUGHLIN.
Many reports are afloat about the sad event, and it is with a considerable degree of
uncertainty that facts are obtained, as the location of the scene of the tragedy is seventeen miles
southwest of this city, and there is no means of getting the particulars, except from individuals
living in that vicinity, who do not claim to be familiar with all the facts surrounding this terrible
ending of a lovers’ quarrel.

NEWBY DRUG STORE [Rochester, Indiana]
ED FIESER SELLS DRUG STORE
A transaction was closed yesterday afternoon in which Edward Fieser sold his drug store
on the corner of Main and Seventh street to S. W. Newby of Peru.
Mr. Fieser has been in ill health for quite a while and had been wanting to sell out and go
into a business where he could be out of doors a great deal of the time. So he will go into the
carriage business with his father, John Fieser, and they will conduct their shop in the room one
door north of the drug store.
Mr. Newby, the new proprietor, is a genteel man, and experienced in the drug business
having had twenty years practical work. He comes from Peru and will move his family here soon.
Mr. Newby will continue to treat patrons in the courteous manner that they have always received
at the Red Cross drug store and will be pleased to meet new acquaintances.
