Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY), October 16, 1884, p. 2. A BATTLE WITH DESPERADOES Cincinnati, October 15-The report comes from Unionville, Indiana, a small town 35 miles northwest of New Albany, of a battle between two desperadoes named Estridge (sic) and Miller and a mob of citizens, Saturday night. The two named men are suspected to be members of the Jesse James gang. The sheriff of Monroe County heard that they were secreted in the house of Estridge's father several miles from town, and he went out with a posse. The posse was driven back, and the two desperadoes rode into Unionville which they took possession of for a while, firing upon everyone they saw on the street. Saturday night a mob went to the house and demanded the surrender of the two criminals. This was refused, and a regular battle ensued in which old man Estridge, one of his sons and his daughter were killed, and the criminals, Estridge and Miller, were wounded. Five of the mob were slightly wounded. Miller and Estridge, although wounded, have escaped. More violence is expected.
