Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life? It is even a vapor,
that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

An Intruder Killed- Jacob Pursely,
While Drunk, Invaded the Home of A Neighbor Hartford City, Ind.,
Sept. 15.— Frank Bell, a farmer, southwest of town, was awakened by some one talking in his bedroom.
--He found that it was Jacob Pursely, trying to influence his wife to promenade with him.
--Bell jumped out of bed and, procuring a revolver, ordered Pursely out of the house.
--Pursely grabbed the revolver and beat Bell over the head with it.
--Mrs. Bell then ran out and Pursely followed and knocked her down.
--Bell then got a shotgun, but Pursely chased him upstairs, and renewed his abuse of Mrs. Bell.
--Pursely then paraded around the house endeavoring to get a shot at Bell through a window.
--As Pursely came in line with Bell's shotgun the latter fired from an upper window, the entire charge entering Pursely's side.
--Pursely ran a short distance, but finally pitched forward on his face, dying about an hour afterward.
--Bell came to town and surrendered to the authorities.
Both Bell and Mrs. Bell are badly bruised by the revolver in Pursely's bauds.
Pursely was a powerful man and was drunk.
He bore a bad reputation.
Bell is 55 years old and of good standing in the community. The sympathy of the people is with him." [September 15, 1894 Northern Journal]
