THE MISSISSIPPI TRAGEDY.
Details of the L-Owry-HoIman BlOudshed
at JOhnsonville.

Vicksburs Herald,l
In the annals of deadly afrays in
this State we know of no occurrence
as fatal in its results as that which oc-
CURED on board the steamer SunAow-
or, while lying at J%ohnsonville, the
county seat of %SunAower county. The
particulars, as near as we could gather
them, are about as follows: About ten
days ago Colonel d. A. Holman, while
in Jacksonville, on entering DIR. w.
Il, Lowry S store, was accosted by DR..
Lowry, who ordered Holman out, re-
marking, it is said, that Holman was
no gentleman, and did not keep his
word, or something to that effect.
Holman departed, saying in substance
he would see Lowry again. On the
morning ofthe affair Colonel Holman
engaged passage on the steamer Sun
flower for V~icksburg, accompanied
by his father-in-law, DR.. q. G. Walk
er. The boat arrived at John
%sonville somewhat earlier than
usual, and Colonel Holman and DR..
Walker together went on shore, but in
a short time returned. Pehaps a half
hoursslater DR., Lowry, as was usual
with him, came on the boat to trans
act his business, and while entering
the cabin was caught, soft is said, by
the left arm or back by Colonel Hol-
man, who turned Lowry half way
around, and, putting his pistol to his
breast, fred. Lowry started down the
cabin, but instantly turned, and,
seeing his clerk, John G. Arnold, start
from his chair (being shaved at the
time), said, Kill him, John, kill him;
he has shot me-" Arnold ran out Of
the cabin to attack Holman, and
Lowry, walking to the cabin door,
cooked his pistol and fired at Holman.
At the same instant of time, perceiy-
ing DR.. Walker with a pistol in hand,
pointed his pistol at Walker with
deadly effect, Walker falling an ex-
piring almost without a struggle.
Lowry then walked back in the cabin,
staggering, and fell, and in about two
minutes expired also. In the meantime
Arnold and Holman we're fighting
outside the cabin, Arnold receiving a
wound in the chest, and died shortly
after being removed from the boat,
Colonel Holman being wounded in the
left arm and side, but to what extent
could not be a%scertained, as the boat
left shortly a%fterward. The affair is
deeply regretted, as all the parties en-
gagged are very highly respected. DR..
Lowry was a brother of General
Robert Lowry, and leaves a widow and
six children. Arnold was a brother
of Judge Arnold, of Columbus. Miss.
Colonel Holman being a prominent
and talented lawyer, and respected in
the community in which he lives.
DR.. Walker was one Of the Oldest
residents of the county, and VIC be-
lieyo had no enemies. Colonel Hol-
man, the only survivor, was imme-
diately arrested, and will have a pre-
liminary examination before Justice
Toney next Saturday.
