Fighting. Killing and Hanging.

We have just received intelligence
of fracas, which occurred in the cX :
tremc Northern part of the parish,
near the Arkansas line. 1t seems
that a family living there, bearing
the name of kirkham, had made
themselves obnoxious to the neigh
borhood, and had been notified to
leave within a specified time. The
time having expired, the vigilance
company, headed by person named
Holly, called at kirkham's house TO
make them leave; whcreupon they
were fired upon. and the fire was re-
turned. Th.rs were tour persons
killed, and IA negro woman wounded.
The names of the killed we were nm
able to ascertain.
