East Carroll

Morehouse Clarion 
1/9, 1880 -- Page 2  C3
Adam Cummins, an old darkey of East Carroll, shot his daughter to death and then
tried to kill himself.  
No cause known for this horrible deed.

Morehouse Clarion 
1/16, 1880 -- Page 2, Column 3
Lake Providence Murder
The course pursued by the citizens of Providence toward the crew of a coal boat,
which anchored at that 
place, is frowned upon by all good citizens everywhere.  It seems that the crew of
the coal boat and a 
potato boat went out into town and, after drinking to drunkeness, some of the crew
became noisy, and 
threatened “to take the place.”  Their boisterous demonstrations brought to the
front City Marshal 
McGuire, who demanded the surrender of the drunken roust-a-bouts.  Jim Brown, who
was the noisiest 
and most demonstrative, and the Marshal clinched and two pistol shots were heard. 
The Marshal was 
killed.  (abbr.)

Morehouse Clarion 
August 20, 1880 -- Page 2, Column 5
James Brown, the murderer of City Marshal McGuire, of Lake Providence, had a
preliminary examination 
before Judge Delony the other day and was committed without bail.  He’ll be very apt
to swing one of 
these days.

Morehouse Clarion 
1/15, 1881 -- Page 2, Column 5
James B. Brown, charged with the murder of Bernard McGuire, late city Marshall of
Lake Providence, and 
confined in jail, was on the night of the 4th inst. taken out of prison by parties
unknown and hung in 
the courthouse square.  (abbreviated transcription)
