    3. HOPPER, LEPS, MCFARLAND Mr. John HOPPER, died at his home in South Fayette township, three miles south of Oakdale, on Monday night. His age was about 65 years. Samuel HOPPER of this place, is a brother. Deceased leaves no children. At Imperial last Saturday afternoon, Jacob LEPS, a young Italian, was shot and killed by another Italian named Adolph d'ALBERTO. The labor troubles were mixed up in the row, but it is probable that the killing came about in a personal quarrel between the two men. D'ALBERTO was with some Moon Run miners who had gone over to induce some Montour miners to quit work. After this was done, d'ALBERTO while standing with a group of Italians and Frenchmen called LEPS passing by some names, and the fight followed, resulting in the death of LEPS.
