FOUR DIE IN FIGHT.

B. G. Freeman Attacked by Three Men in Red River Parish Lousiana. Four men were killed in a shooting affray half a mile south of Lake End, in Red River parish, La. A difficulty arose between B. G. Freeman and Callie Brown, and shots were exchanged without results. Brown then left, but returned in about an hour with his brother, Robert Brown, and Dr. W. H. Glover. All opened fire on Freeman, who replied with deadly effect. CalHe Brown and Dr. Glover fell dead and Robert Brown was wounded. He begged for his life, which Freeman granted and Brown departed by the front door. Making a detour, he re-entered the building by a rear door and shot Freeman down. In the act of falling Freeman turned and brought Brown to earth with a bullet through his heart. Both men fell together and expired almost immediately. The affair created intense excitement in the locality of its occurrence.
