Hopper, a citizen of this county, and his brother, a resident of Kentucky. It seems the elder brother of the Hoppers died in Kentucky, a few years ago, a bachelor. He had some property, which a younger brother desired to keep, without making any division with his other brothers. The other brothers including A.C. Hooper insisted on a division, and had the property administered upon and sold. This greatly enraged their younger brother, who was a desperate character. This younger brother having threatened to kill or burn up those of his brothers who interfered in the property affairs of his deceased brother. A day or two previous to the 18th A. C. Hopper learned that his younger brother was in ambush, secreting himself in the woods, around about his plantation and was armed as he suspected for the purpose of ssasinating him. A.C. Hopper procured one or two of his neighbors, armed himself, and with one of his sons proceeded to ascertain the whereabouts of his brother, and drive him from his lurking place. The company finally discovered him by the popping of a cap, snugly camped in the woods, with implements of death, one or two horses. Immediatley after popping the cap, he seized his rifle and fired upon A.C. hopper. The Contents taking affect. A.C. Hopper recivering somewhat rom the effects of the shot fired on his brother having a double barrelled shot gun, he discharged the contents of both barrels, which took mortal effect. Both mortally wounded now closed in on each other, A.C. Hopper breaking his gun over the head of the other-cutting with knives, etc. The younger brother expired instantly. A.C. Hopper only lliving a few hours after he was carried to his residence. Thus ended this most tragical and desperate affair. if accounts be true, society lost nothing by the death of the one from Kentucky; but A.C. Hopper was one of our most industrious citizens. He leaves a wife and alrge family to mourn his premature and untimely death. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
