Utica Weekly Herald, Tuesday, August 9, 1887
ILION, Aug. 9 (Special)—A lively row occurred this morning on a farm about two miles south of the village of Mohawk, on the Richfield Springs road, in which several persons were seriously injured. Mrs. David Jacobson and her son-in-law, Jay Getman, occupy and run what is known as the Jacobson farm on this hill. Intersecting one corner of the Jacobson property is about an acre of land which is owned and occupy by an aged couple by name of Chapman. This piece of land makes a triangular notch in the Jacobson property, and for several years there has been a feud between the families over the dividing line of the two pieces of property. This has been the subject of frequent litigation. A, few weeks ago a quarrel arose over alleged indignities heaped upon Mrs. Chapman's potatoes by Getman. Then there was trouble about the fences, and recently Chapman has built a dam across a brook, turning, the water course thro’ an oat field on the Jacobson farm. This morning James Jackson, father of J. O. Jackson of Little Falls, who runs the Grand Central hotel, went to the. Jacobson farm to assist in harvesting. Mr. Jackson is a relative of the Jacobsons. To facilitate the getting in and out of the oat field Mr. Jackson found it necessary to make a bridge across the brook, close by the dam. He started to do the work when Chapman came out and ordered him away. He paid no attention to the order, whereupon old man Chapman produced and old-fashioned Colt’s navy revolver and opened fir upon him. Chapman fired five times. and at the filth shot the bullet struck Jackson in the head and made an ugly scalp wound. He fell to the ground, hut quickly recovering he arose to his feet, seized a pitchfork that was a hand, knocked Chapman down and made some wicked jabs at his head with the fork tines. At this juncture Mrs. Chapman hastened from the house to the assistance of her husband, when Jackson turned upon her and inflicted some terrible wounds upon her head with the pitchfork. She fell to the ground, blood streaming from the terrible gashes, and Jackson completely exhausted, delisted.
The woman was brought to Mohawk where Dr. Van Court dressed her wounds, and Drs. Carey and Fox attended to Chapman's and Johnson's injuries. Mrs. Chapman's injuries are the most serious. No arrests have yet been made.
After the shooting. Jay Getman wrested the revolver from Chapman. It is now in charge of an officer-at Mohawk. It is a Remington navy, with cylinder—six shots. One bullet remains.
The bullet that struck Jackson passed thro' his hat and indicted a wound about five inches long across his head, but did not fracture the skull.
Mrs. Chapman’s wounds are more serious than first supposed, and may cause her death.
Jackson and Chapman are men between 60 and 70 years of age.
