Blacksmith in Clermontville Involved in Fatal Brawl
Albert Lewis, once a Batavia resident, attacked his companion Seigert with a blacksmith’s rasp after a drinking spree near New Richmond. Seigert died after a relapse the next day. Lewis fled east through Felicity and remained at large. The event ends with a moral on liquor. The piece also notes the golden wedding of Michael Behymer and his wife at Locust Corner on November 5, 1885 with about forty guests receiving gifts and well wishes.
