    2. Randi Richardson
    3. 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 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.
