Two Men Killed and Two Fa-
tally Wounded.
QUARREL OF MANY YEARS
Bloody Pistol Battle in Streets Of
Union, Miss.
DISPUTE AS TO OWNERSHIP
Participants Prominent in the Sec
tion of the State Where the
Tragic Encounter Took Place.

UNION. Miss. July 17.-One old COW.
which would not have brought $50
on the market caused a bloody pis-
tol battle in the streets of this town
today. 1t resulted in the killing of two
men. the fatally injuring of two more
and seriously wounding of another. The
dead:
f. j. Mcdonald, cattle man.
Peter Mcdonald. his brother
Fatally injured:
Cornelius Chisolm, cattle man.
Joseph Miller, friend of Chisolm.
Seriously injured:
Murphy Mcdonald, son of E. J. Nc
Donald.
The fight was between the McDonalds
on one side and Miller and Chisolm on
the other. two factions which have
quarreled for many years.
The old cow had outlived her useful
ness as a milk producer, but both CHS
olm and the McDonalds claimed her
ownership. Miller and Peter Mcdonald
started the row in front of the Union
Bank. Revolvers were drawn and the
Chisolm and E. j. Mcdonald came up
about this time and joined in. Peter
Mcdonald fell first and Miller was the
next. Z. ]. Mcdonald and Chisolm for
while shot desperately until both fell.
Mcdonald dead and Chisolm mortally
wounded.
Murphy Mcdonald. who apears to have
been would-be peacemaker, was seri-
ously wounded.
All the men in the bloody battle are
prominent in this section of Mississippi
and number many relatives in Newton
county. Consequently 1t was believed at
first that further strife would result, but
indications are tonight. with Peter and
f. J. Mcdonald dead and Ckisolm and
Miller dying, no one will be left to an
| swer to the law for the tragedy.
1t was reported that an effort would be
made to have a company of state militia
sent here from Meridian, but the author
tiles deny this.

Many Disappointed in Not Being Able to Go to Yaie-Harvsrd Game at Cambridge.

@Have you got your tickets ?' is an football enthusiasts at the present time, and probably more thain half of those who expected to attend the Yale Har- ward game in Cambridge on Saturday have to return negative answer. One Norwich man who was trying to &C., commodate about 35 friends with tick cts has received 12 to distribute, and Is having troubles of his own in mak- ing an equitable division. Others who made applications have received their money back or had the number they wanted cut to two. so that it will be an anxious time for .he next day or two among all those who are expecting to go and have not yet heard from their applications or their friends who were to secure tickets for them.
 It Is reported from Boston that only about two-thirds of the applications for tickets for the HarVard- Yale game from Harvard men can be filled this year. or the 47.1S3 applications re- ceived at the Athletic association of- flee in Cambridge. 16,000 have been as- signed to Yale and only about 19000 seats are left for the Crimson support CTS. At present 12.1S3 aplications re- main unified.
 The seating capacity of the Stadium is approximately 35,000, and 50000 of the general public who asked for tick cts will have no chance.
 Three thousand extra seats are be- ing erected on the colonade, above the seats.

ORDINARY CARE
 LESSENS DANGER

Authorities are pretty we'll united in the opinion that ordinary care on the part of. the individual greatly lessens the danger of contracting consump- ton. So many cases Of this dread dis- ease have their origin in neglect Of an ordinary cough or cold. that tt IS ap- palling to note the indifference win which so many people regard this common complaint.
 At the first indication of cold steps should be taken to check it at once. For this purpose the following simple formula is highly recommended as being most effective. Mix together in & large bottle. two ounces of Gly- cerine, a half-ounce of Virgin OH uf Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure Whiskey. Shake well and take a teaspoonful four times day. It is claimed by the Leach Chemical Co.,. of CInicnnati, who prepare the genuine Virgin oil of Pine compound pure, that this mixture will break up a cold in twenty-four hours and cure any cough that is curable.
