Northern Sierra � Hodges Fisher was shot dead at Gibsonville, on the 14th 
inst., by Perry Davis, upon whom he had drawn a revolver and was advancing 
with it aimed for a discharge. Fisher was a man of some wealth, and 
quarrled with Davis while under the influence of liquor, concerning a lady 
who preferred the latter to himself. Davis, a man of fair reputation, was 
examined and acquitted, it being deemed that he acted in self defense.
