After this roll-call, admirable addresses were made by Col. J. S. McElroy, Capt. J. 31. Gudger, Sergeant J. C. L. Gudger, and W. G. Candler, Esq. All were pa triotic speeches, worthy the speakers, the occasion, and those addressed.! After the addresses a splendid picnic dinner was served on a long table in the grove, and was of course enjoyed by all, there is always plenty in the Hominy section, and it is always hospitably served out. Every member of the company present entered into an agreement to meet at the same time and place, annually, on the 22d of July, so long as any survivors shall live. This is right. As was shown on this occasion this band of true men is Two Men Killed in a North Main Street Saloon. A double tragedy was enacted on Fri day night last in the bar-room of Hamp ton & Featherston, on North 3Iain street John Milster, a bar-tender for J. H Loughran, was killed on the spot, and Phillip ; 31 clntire died of a wound next morning. Mclntire and Milster had an encounter on the night before at the house of a woman who lives on Bailey street. It is said that Milster drew aLpistol on Mclntire at that time. Next day Mclntire, accompanied by his brother and brother-in-law named Pratt met Milster and 31clntire presented pistol at him, kicked him and offered him other indignities, so it is said. They met Mjlster again later in the evening, at Hampton & Featherston's bar. Mil ster was asked! to drink but declined 31clntire then Called him off to the rear of the room and struck him. Testimony is conflicting after this ALcmtire s anti-mortem statement was to the effect that Milster shot him first He returned the fire and feeling himself mortally wounded continued to fire on Milster, who dropped his pistol. When Mclntire had exhausted his pistol he took up Milster's and emptied its con tents into Milster's body. This was substantially the dying man's statement, btV; .other evidence is of contradictory character, so much so that after a thorough investigation, the Cor oner's Jury returned a verdict as fol lows : l We, the undersigned jurors employee investigate the cause ot the death o Philip Mclntire, do find that he came to his death by a gunshot wound in the hands of Mr. Pratt, accidentally. We, the undersigned jurors employed investigate the cause of the death o John Milster, do find that he came to his death by gunshot wounds in the hand of Philip Mclntire, and that Pratt was accessory before the fact.
