Horrible Shooting Affray-Prominent

The Associated Press from Brandon, 15
miles east of here, gives the particulars
of a horrible shooting ARRAY, which took
place there at 3 O'Clock this morning, in
which 4. Dabney Marshall, inent
lawyer and member of the State Legisla-
ture from vicksburg and two OF his
friends, shot and killed X. L. Dinkins, a
general agent of tine Austin Road Machine
Company.
While standing on the platform of the
depot, Dinkins was approached by Mar

Dinkins grabbed the pistol just as il
>sas fired, and possibly the first shot did
<ot take effect, as Dinkins backed away
from Marshall there was a fusilate of
shots from Marshall's companions, III.
III. Coleman and O. p. Fox of Vicksburg.
II is thought Dinkins fired Marshall's
pistol at the latter, as 1t was found in his
hand when dead. Marshall, Coleman and
Fox and Marshall's law partner, Mr..
Vallens, met in the waiting room of the
depot as soon as the bloody work had
been completed, and announced they
were ready TO surrender, and the sheriff
was called. The cause Of the killing is a
sensational story told about Marshall by
Dinkins. Two weeks ago Dinkins and
Marshall occupied the same room, but
different beds, at a hotel in Raymond,
and next morning Dinkins said that
Marshall as guilty of a crime similar to
the one for which Oscar Wilde is now
serving term in PRISON.
