Knoxville, Tennessee Daily Journal, Dec. 19, 1893

   
NATCHEZ, MISS., Dec. 18 – News reached here tonight of a desperate 
shooting affair at Florence, on the New Orleans and Northwestern railroad,
 in Franklin parish, Saturday night.  Tow men by the name of Haines and 
Chisholm got into a fight about mortgaged cotton.  A brother-in law of 
Haines named Valentine shot Chisholm with a Winchester rifle and fled.  
Some of Chisholm’s friends took up the difficulty and shot Haines several 
times, killing him.  No arrests have been made.  Haines’ body was allowed 
to remain where he fell from Saturday night until Sunday afternoon.
