    3. Indiana (IN) State Journal, March 29, 1899, p. 5. NOTE: Can anyone better identify Errison Weathers? I did not find anyone with the surname Weathers in 1880 or 1900 that remotely looked like Errison. BEN PEARSON SHOT ERRISON WEATHERS English, Indiana, March 27-Ben Pearson, who shot Errison Weathers at Marengo, Saturday night, surrendered to the authorities and is now confined in the county jail at this place. Weathers was shot through the left lung and is lying at the point of death at his home in Marengo. His legs are paralyzed by the ball lodging against the spine. Both are single men belonging to good families. An old feud is at the bottom of the affair. Pearson says he did the shooting in self defense.
