Donaldsonville, Aug. 23. – A fatal cutting affray occurred at Mayhaw in
Miller county, Saturday night, at the church during services. The
difficulty was between Fletcher Bush, son of a prominent citizen of
Mayhaw, and a Mr. Corbet, of Cowers, Ala., who was working near Mayhaw
in the turpentine business.
Young Corbet was stabbed by Bush in the neck and abdomen and died in
less than 24 hours afterwards. His father was sent for, but the young
man was dead when the old man reached Mayhaw.
Mr. Corbet passed through Donaldsonville today with the body of his
son, which will be interred at Cowars. Mr. Corbet is about 70 years of
age. He and others say the murder was unprovoked, as young Corbet was
not armed and tried to avoid a difficulty.
Fletcher Bush is a member of one of the most prominent families of
Miller county and has a very large relationship. Bush is yet at large.
