Columbus Enquirer 1860
MURDER – We learn that a Mr. Estes was murdered on Tuesday evening last, below
O’Neal’s Mill, in this county, by a man by the name of Watson. We learn that a
feud had existed between them previously, and that while Mr. Estes was in his
field, Watson was passing by with a gun when E. remarked that he had understood
that he (W.) intended "to send him to hell before Saturday night". Watson said
"yes" and thereupon shot him down. Watson fled and has not been heard of up to
the present writing, Thursday in the forenoon. LaGrange Reporter.
