"The trouble had its origin when Sheriff Garett Scott was held responsible by the White Men's Union for alleged miscounduct of affairs. At the recent election Scott was defeated and later was warned to leave the county, which he refused to do. Late Wednesday afternoon the Sheriff was shot and seriously wounded by an unknown person. Emmett Scott, his brother, and William McDonald engaged in a street duel. When the smoke of the battle cleared away, both were dead, as was also John Bradley, Jr. The entire town of Anderson was excited over the affair and Sheriff Scott took possesion of the jail, which he has since held by force."

"John I. Bradley, Jr. was buried at 10:30 under auspices of the Odd Fellows. Young McDonald was also a member of this order but the Navasota gentlemen arrived too late to participate in his obsequities. The body of Emmett Scott was laid away shortly after 12 o'clock. Both Bradley and McDonald were to have been married shortly. Bradley was shot in the region of the heart by Scott and was so close as to be powder burned. He ran into his store when the shooting began. McDonald shot Scott after he (Mcdonald) had first been knocked down and shot."
