BLOODY TRAGEDY
 WAS ANTICIPATED District Attorney Currie Tells of
 . Family Feud DAVIS BROKE HIS PRO MISE Key Brothers Had Brought Davis Back To Meridian and Had Spared His Life Through lntercession
 of Friends.
DAVIS BROKE HIS PROMISE

Meridian Miss, October 16.-(Special.) )- It developed today that the shooting of Walter Davis by the Key boys last night
 has been looked for by certain parties
 for a year. Today District Attorney
 Currie, whose home formerly was in Kemper county and who knew both fam lilies, said:
 'I told Davis several months ago that so far as lay in my power personally
 and officially I would endeavor to pre-
 vent the Keys taking the law into their own hands, but that in order to prevent
 trouble he had best leave on the very first
 train. It was only a few hours after talking to Davis that l saw the Key brothers, the two older ones, in town. apprehended at once what that meant. l went up to them and told them exactly
 what I foresaw as coming, and got from
 them & promise that they would not com- init any violence while here. They ie- luctantly gave me the promise on con- dition that I would get Davis to leave the state forever. They frankly said that after the wrong he had done them Mississippi was not large enough for their family and Davis at one and the same time.
 T saw Davis, and he left. l did not
 know where he went and if 1 had I
 would not have told the Key boys, for
 l knew their blood Anyway, the next
 thing l knew they had learned that Davis
 was at Laurel, and without saying any
 thing to their friends the Keys went
 there after him. He was brought back
 to Meridian by them, and only their
 promises to me and their father saved
 Davis at the time. It was plain that if
 Davis did not leave the county his life
 was not worth straw and I again went
 to him and begged him for his own sake
 to save our town from a bloody event like last nights, to go to Oklahoma or some
 point where ne could start life over again.
 He promised me again he would do so.
 Ut was lucky for Davis that I had to
 deal with older and more thoughtful
 men than those who .ld the shooting
 last night They felt greatly the wrong
 that had been done them, still they are
 peaceful and law-abiding men, given to
 mature deliberation and they recognized the gravity of such a step as that con- templated. Had I seen the boys yester day and been aware at the time that Davis was in town l would have inter- fered, and finding that could not reason
 with Webb and Frank would, of course,
 have taken steps to have at least post poned the tragedy"
 The remains of Walter Davis were taken to Scooba at noon today and will
 be carried on to DeKalb, where the fun eral will be held Thursday morning. The l interment will be at Rush cemetery. Hon. S. A. Witherspon and son have been retained to defend the Key boys. Hon. F. V. Brahan has been retained to assist District Attorney Currie in the l prosecution. No date has yet been fixed for the preliminary hearing.

 News of Ensley.

lEnsley, October 16.-- Special. )--The e announcement of the committees for and against prohibition has caused re- newed interest in the election to be held October 2S. Both factions are hard at work and each claim victory. Ensley is sustaining her reputation for hot political fights, and mass meet ings and speech making galore are on hand, the opera house being engaged every night this week. Thursday night Dr. R. M. Cunningham and John B.. Weakley will speak in favor of prohi- bition. The speaking will begin prompt ly at 7:45 D. m. It is needless to say the house will be crowded. Friday night the first public meeting in Ems ley of the i-prohibitionists will be held, and from the interest manifested the house will be packed brass band will be in attendance and circulars are being widely circulated asking the citizens to hear the other side of the question discussed. The speaking will commence promptly at o'clock. Among those speaking will be F. H. Crockard. vice president of the Tennessee Coal,
 
 Queen of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company; W. P. Pinckard, Frank Nelson. Capt. F. P. O'Brien, J. G. Smith and others. These gentlemen are all closely identified with the industrial development of the district and will present many interesting facts for the considera tion of the people.
 Saturday night P. G. Bowman will speak on prohibition at the same place at 7:45 o'clock.
 w. R. Stewart, chairman of the pro- hibition committee, states that meet ings will be held every night until the campaign closes, and predicts a vic- tory by a safe majority. Colonel Shortridge, chairman of the anti-pro- hibitionists. is very confident of vic- tory, and stated that the calm, con seryative judgment of the voters who are satisfied with the present un- equaled prosperity would prevail against a measure that was largely visionary and that had proved failure in so many instances.
 One feature of the present campaign is the absence of any bitterness. Tho utmost good nature prevails, and MT. stewart and Colonel Shortridge are frequently seen together at the soda fountains. both being total abstainers.
