to Prevent Rioting.
There wcs a bloody street battle
az Meadville, Miss, on Tuesday af-
,ernoon, in which two men were kill
ed, two perhaps fatally wounded
and three others slightly injured.
AS a result Of the unfortunate af-
fair, feeling at Meadvtlie ran high
and State troops were rushed there
from Brockhaven Tuesday night to
guard against possibility Of riot

Chancer- Court, Of Franklin coun-
ty, and Silas G. Reynolds. Dr.. Le-
nox N1wman. a son Of one of the
slain men, is believed to have been
fatally injured. and Herbert Apple
white. an attorney. may not recover
as the result Of his wounds. EN-
NETT Newman, another son, was shot
in the leg.
The three were taken to Natchez
for medical attention, after having
been formally placed under arrest
Two men named Boyd and Parr,
alleged to have been involved in
the ARRAY. were slightly wounded,
but escaped and have not been cap
tured. L. P. Pritchard, a brother OF
Cornelius Pritchard, when Newman
killed seven weeks ago. was arrested
and charged with completely in the
tragedy.
The killing Of Pritchard by New
man was the first bloodshed to mark
a feud that had existed between the
two men, relatives and friends. for
months. This bitter taetioaahsm
had its inception in political cam
paign in which Newman and Prttch'
ard were opposing candidates.
Newman was tried a few weeks
ago for Pritchard's murder, and was
| acquitted. This served to arouse
even more bitter feeling among the
relatives and friends OF Pritcharc
and the Newman family and faction
Tuesdays fight occurred almost OF
the same spot where Pritehard was
slain.
Apparently Newman was hrst hr
ed upon as he was passing the But
ler building in MS buggy. The sho
came from one Of the rooms on th'
second floor Of the building. 1t fail
ed to take effect. and Newman jump
ed from his buggy. rushed to tn
front of the building, drawing hi
pistol, it is asserted, in the mean
time.
1t is claimed that as Ne~na1
reached the sidewalk he was at
tackled by Reynolds and Applewhite
Sons Of Dr.. Newman, who were near
by, rushed to the scene and engaged
. IN the duel. Numerous volleys wer'
exchanged. but it is apparently
matter Of doubt who fred the fata
shots.
The srasedy is thought to hav'
been direct result Of the kill!nl
of Cornelius Pritehard by Dr.. New
man seven weeks ago. and DR.. New
mans acquitta! recently on tn
charge Of murder.
The feeling between AppleWhlt'
and Newman is said to have oeei
very bitter. On several occasion
it is reported that Newman had or
dered the attorney from the chan
cery clerks office. Applewhlte wa
wounded in the Newman-Prltchart
encounter.
The encounter, from the neagr'
facts known. were fercely va9ed
and the lives Of numerous bEstand
ers we're jeopardized.

rival here today of one torpedo boat
destroyer and three torpedo boats Of
the United States Navy, which have
been ordered to accompany the fiotills
of President Taft and his party from
St. Louis to New orleans. the begin

of modern vessels of the American navy
up the Mississippi River for such .
distance was begun.
The boats probably will remain In
New Orleans for several days, taking
on supplies during this time. before
proceeding up the river. The trip to
st. Louis will undoubtedly be made
in a leisurely manner, as 1t Is now
considerably more than a month be-
fore the return journey is to be start
ed.
Advices here indicate that numerous
vessels will be in the Taft fotiYla.
Many cities lying along the banks Of
the Mississippi and its trib utaries will
send forth boats loaded with local DEL
egations. The feet gives every prom
Use of being the biggest gathering OF
steamers in the history of the naviga-
ton of the eountry's greatest river.
In order to throw every safeguard
around the President. orders have been
issued, prohibiting racing between the
boats taking part in the pageant and
will be rigldlv enforced.
