The Ouachita Telegraph
November 22, 1866
Page 2, Column 3

  The Shreveport Gazette mentions the killing of E.B. Huff by Fred Tally, on
the night of the 9th instant.  The difficulty originated at a gaming table,
says that paper, Huff makes the fourth man of mess No. 6 of the Shreveport
Grays who has met a violent death in that city since the surrender.  They
were all gamblers.  Perhaps the same fate would have overtaken them had they
all been good and industrious citizens.
