Monroe Journal June 11, 1903
Jack Freeman shot and killed Henderson David near Blacksher's headquarter 
camps last Sunday. It appears that David had made threats against Freeman and 
on Sunday, while intoxicated, presented himself at Freeman's place and 
attempted to forcibly enter the house when Freeman fired with fatal effect. 

Additional Comments:
Both men were Indians.  The fight was apparently over a "soiled Dove" there at 
the camps. July 9, 1903 an article presented a glowing account of life at 
Blacksher camps from the Little River through Jeddo and up to building a 
church at Poplar springs. They declare that they run a wholesome camp.
