Union, Miss., July 13.-An old cow which would not have brought $50 on the market, caused a bloody plBtol battle in the streets of this lit tle town yestorday. It resulted In the killing of two men, tho fatal in juring of two more, and the serious wounding of another. The dead: E. J. McDonald, cattle man; Peter McDonald, his brother. Fatally Injured: Cornelius Chlsolm, cattleman; Joseph Miller, friend of Chisolm's. Seriously injured; Mur phy McDonald, son of E. J. McDon ald. The light was between the McDon alds on one side and Miller and Chisholm on the other--two factions which have quarreled for many years The old cow had outlived her use fulness as a milk producer, but both Chisholm and the McDonalds claimed her ownership. Miller and Peter McDonald started the row In front of the Union Hank. Revolvers were drawn and the shooting commenced. Chisholm and E. J. McDonald came up about this time and joined in. Peter .lcDonald fell first and Miller was the next. E. J. McDonald and ('bi: holm for a while shot desper ately un* ll both fell-McDonald dead and Chisholm mortally wound ed. Murphy McDonald, who appeal's to have been a would-be peace maker, was seriously wounded. All. the men in the hloody battle are prominent In this section of Mis sissippi and number many relatives in Newton county. Consequently it was believed at first that further strife would result, but indications are to-night, with Peter and E. .1.
