BLOODY SHOOTOUT BETWEEN FAMILIES. MOONSHINE TRAFFICKING SUSPECTS. DEAD AND DYING IN THE STREETS.

Rhodes - News was received here today of a tremendous escalation of the decades-old blood feud between the Grays and the Braithwaites, two prominent local families who have been arguing since long before the war. The town of Rhodes and its residents were the true victims in a fight between these powerful families. The recent altercation originated in the Rhodes Parlour House, which is owned by the Gray family. Reports say that moonshine or money was the basis of the argument.

Shots rang out, and voices screamed, and then bullets sadly hushed them. Once prominent families, the fortunes of the Grays and the Braithwaites, and other once-wealthy landowners like them, have been on the wane since the war. The plantation families have been at odds since before the War of the States, claiming some mutual theft of gold or property over a century ago, a motive of which nobody can claim reliability to this day.

Reports say the new altercation began when some associates of the Braithwaites entered the Rhodes Parlour House and offered customers plenty of free, untaxed liquor.
