EAST TENNESSEE NEWS September 17, 1883
Monday, September 17, 1883



A serious difficulty occurred at Daniel Emmett’s store in Tuckaleechee Cove on

Saturday evening last. It seems that a difficulty arose between L.W. Dunn and

Jos. E. Scott, during which the latter was stabbed by the former, perhaps

fatally. Dr. Blankenship was summoned and reports the wound a very serious but

not necessarily fatal.



Rosa Wear, colored, age 91 years, died on the night of the 12th inst., at

Preston Wear’s, 3 miles north of town.



Killed Himself---John Crisp, second son of Rice Crisp, of Cloyd’s Creek,

Blount County, shot himself on Saturday, the 15th inst. Two rumors are current

as to the manner of the shooting: one being that enraged, he took the gun

declaring that he would shoot himself, and in a few moments the report of the

gun was heard, and young Crisp, who was about 20 years old, lay rolling in his

death throes. Another report is that he attempted to blow in the gun and shot

himself.
