The Semi-Weekly Messenger (Wilmington NC) 2 Nov 1897
Sid Peterson killed Jerome McCurry on last Friday in Yancey county. Thursday
night before the killing some unknown parties shot Peterson's house full of
holes. The McCurrys accused Sid Peterson of reporting them to the last term of
Yancey court for selling liquor, and since that time Peterson has been afraid to
have a lamp burning in his house for fear of being assassinated. Friday night
after the killing some unknown parties burned Peterson's house, barn and a crib
full of corn, and George McCurry was seen to shoot Peterson's mule, and Dan
Young's mule was also killed by some one. Young is a brother-in-law of Peterson.
Peterson is in hiding, I learn from the McCurrys and their friends, but will
surrender him -
