Two deaths have already resulted from the negro shooting scrape below Calhoun late Friday afternoon and one or two others are expected. Homer Davis, one of the participants in the shooting, died Saturday and was buried yesterday. The other victim was the five year old daughter of John Cade. The bullet that killed the little girl passed through her father's arm. Five were wounded instead of nine as first reported. The officers, after a thorough search, failed to locate the two negroes who did the shooting. They went over as far as the Jackson parish line. Deputy Sheriff Grant also made trips north and south of Ruston on the Rock Island. Note: An account of the fight can be found in the Saturday, May 28, 1910 edition of the News-Star, Page 1, Column 4. # # #
