Pennsylvania Inquirer and Daily Courier (Philadelphia, PA), October 15, 1838
	A Bloody Affray. – We learn from the Alexandria (La.) Intelligencer of 
the 12th ultimo, that a few days previously a fatal rencontre [sic] took place 
in the Parish of Catahoula, between Henry Umble, John Davis, and a man by the 
name of Ross, and two brothers by the name of Jonathan and Absalom Haggerty.  
The elder Haggerty being severely wounded by a shot received in the thigh, 
handed his brother, quite a youth, a double barrel shot gun, and directed him 
to kill their assailants, whereupon young Haggerty immediately shot dead Umble 
and Ross, and was himself slightly wounded by a shot received from Davis.  The 
wound of the elder Haggerty is supposed to be mortal.

Additional Comments:
Note:  "Umble" would be Henry Humble, Jr., son of Henry Humble, Sr.
