	Bloody Affair "This story was found in the Oregon Spectator Newspaper, December 12, 1850. The paper quotes the Ohio Journal. The actual incident happened July 15, 1850. As the Ironton Register didn't begin until August 1, 1850, this is a part of history that would have been lost forever had these newspapermen not recorded it in the far west."
