HUDSON AND COLLINS FIGHT.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 9.-Consider-
able excitement was created about
the Union passenger station this az
ternoon, caused by an altercauon
between Attorney General S. S. Hud-
son and Ross A. Collins, of Merl-
dian. his successful competitor in
the recent state primary.
Both men had gone to the station
to take trains, east and west bound,
respectively. Mr.. Hudson was among
a group of his friends and was stand
ing chatting near another group, the
center of which appeared to be MT.
Collins. ;.
Seeing Mr.. Hudson, Mr.. Collins, 1t
is said. advanced with extended mana
and a remark, the purport of which
was that they might sink their diff
ferences, bury the hatchet-in fact,
be good friends. BY way of reply
OF meeting the advance, it is stated
that Mr.. Hudson glanced At the
stranger, as he was not aware OF MS
identity, and on catching the name
he drew back, launched out with MS
right and sent sharp lead for the
face, landing, it 10 understood, with
such force az to stagger the man
from Meridian. Before further con-
tact between the two was had a
dozen strong men interviewed ana
further trouble was prevented
Friends of Attorney General Hud'
son state that ever since the Collins
campaign bureau at Meridian put
in circulation as campaign docu'
ment an article from the Osyka
Herald which reflected seriously or
the personal and official integrity
of Mr.. Hudson, it has been feared
that trouble would ensue should the
two men meet. He has held tina,
any criticism of his ability or WORE
as attorney general is legitimate
but as to aspersions on his integrit!
and official and profession record o
the past, such are not TO be CLOSED
over or brooked. as he stated befor'
boarding his train.
There is no likelihood that Their
will be a renewal of the difficulty
and there are those who are hopefu
that this afternoons difficulty vii
be smoothed over. Mr.. Collins wa
| on his way to Meridian and Genera
Hudson was waiting for the Vicks
burg-bound train, both due at tn
same time.
