    1. HERBERT, KUGLEMAN - April 24, 1880 Portsmouth Times
    2. Transcribed without making changes to spelling and grammar. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson The Portsmouth Times Dated: April 24, 1880 BLOOD AT THE "NARROWS." Jacob Herbert Shoots Jacob Kugleman. --------------- JACOB KUGLEMAN, the well-known farmer of Pine Creek, was in the city with his team last Saturday, and after transacting his business started for home late in the afternoon. JACOB HERBERT, of Luck Run, had also been to the city, and at the "Narrows", between East Portsmouth and Sciotoville, the two teams were near together and a difficulty arose as to right of position in the road, which culminated in a collision, first of the teams and then of the drivers. Parties from whom we received our information say that Herbert was trying to occupy a position which did not belong to him, and in so doing ran into Kugleman's wagon. Hot words ensued and Kugleman grabbed a hatchet, when Herbst (sic - should be Herbert) pulled his pistol and fired, the ball entering the side of Kugleman's neck and passing down into the shoulder, where it remains. The wound is painful, but not dangerous. Herbet (sic) was arrested and had a hearing beofre 'Squire LUTHER MARSHAL, in Sciotoville, by whom he was held to bail for his appearance at court. Herbst (sic) , we hear, was drunk, noisy and quarrelsome, and had been shooting off his revolver along the road.
