Newspaper Article Lucky-Dip S2 E18 

Welcome to another episode of newspaper randomness. We had articles out the hat for this one. TRIGGER WARNING for murder (actual & attempted) involving decapitation.
The first article was relating the tale of a Mr Warr who ended up married, seemingly against his will, to the daughter of a tribal chief. (Elgin Courant & Morayshire Advertiser, 31st July, 1846.)
The second article relates a schoolmaster's horrific murder of his aunt & attempted murder of his mother. (John o' Groat Journal, 26th January, 1844.)
The third is a far more light-hearted story of a sleepwalker recruiting his recently awoken friend into helping him hold a house up. (Elgin Courant & Morayshire Advertiser, 20th May, 1853.)
The final article tells us of a deceased unknown man found in the basket of a grounded hot air balloon. (London Telegraph, 11th October, 1824.)
