MURDER IN MOREHEAD
Sheriff M.F. Fouch of Rowan County stepped into the Clerk's office Monday to get some papers, when a dispute arose between him and the Clerk, George A. Johnson. Fouch drew his pistol and fired at the clerk, but missed him. He then fired again, the second shot taking effect over the right eye, killing Johnson instantly.

At Morehead the grand jury indicted Sheriff Fouch for murder for the killing of Clerk Johnson.

Census
1880 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Christy Creek precinct, p. 464B, lists as household/family #331/356:

(Since no relationship is listed for Walter, and there is not even a bump in the “family” number for Walter, yet the relationships given for Martha, John and Georgie are to Walter, not to Millard, it is likely that the enumerator simply missed a change-of-family when entering the numbers, and that these are two separate households.)
