The Concordia Intelligence of Friday last fur
nishes the following account of the cold -blooded
q murder Of two citizens of vidalia parish
L Through the medium Of a letter from Black River
e to friend, we have CLEANED the following particu
e lars concerning the melancholy affair that transpr
lie ed in that locality Saturday last On the day
70 stated, Mr. Joseph G. De LHoste, in company with
I'd Charles Hebert Besaneon, were proceeding to the
IN house Of VIM aruee Esd, Justice Of the Peace for
De L'Hoste against some party for stealing hogs.
While on the road leading from Wild Cow Bayou to
Mr. Isaac hm they pursued y
rshes. Anticipating the intentions of their pursu-
IN era Mr. De L'lioste and his companion urged their
10 horss, and endeavored to elude the fiends. The
ls prrsuers gained upon them, and coming up with
i; Mr.. Besancon. two of them remained behind to
Ell despatch him. which they did by means of bowie
m knife, or similar weapon
IL near the residence of Mr. Lum (about mile from
n where the first killed), they put two shots
a into the body of Mr.. De D'Hoste, either of which
I'll would have proved fatal. In his flight, he passed
". company Of Irishmen, who were at work. calling
nm upon them for help As he did not check his speed
IA. the !rishmen were unable to understand his en-
IN treaties or interpret his Wishes and consequently
m. took action Had he have remained with them
ch it is highly probable different fate would have
off been the result. The body of Mr.. B. was found
soon after the sad affair had transpired Mr.. Dc

be had been hauled to a wayside place. Several per
sons are suspected as being Of the party that com
mitted the murders and it is to be hoped that al
r. connected with this mean, cowardly and intensely

ng justice. a- sTSf
