sier parish. We find the indebted
ness of the parish, up to date, to
be $30,694 43-1O0. This debt con
sists in outstanding scrip, 800, 174
26-1OO. In bonds, SS,132 27-1OO;
and jury scrip, $3.50 Se-1OO.-
Amount due the parish is, $780, 1876.
This is from lease of ferries. From
the above statement of the finan-
cial condition of the parish of Bos-
sier, the jury is astonished and
panied to find the credit of the
parish sunk so low that only Is
cents in the dollar is offered tor it's
scrip, in the streets of Bellevue,
by the President of the Police
Jury.
Why is this? Why is the rich
parish Of Bossier owing only $780,
600, and due her $500 that her
scrip is worth but 15 cents in
specie, or 25 cents in currency, in
the dollar!
| Who is interested in putting
down the credit of the parish /?
No good citizen! 1t is the duty
of every taxpayer to stand by the
credit of his parish, and not whis-
per in the ear of his neighbor, the
Parish will repudiate her scrip!
We, the Jury, individually and
collectively, tender our thanks to
His Honor, Judge A. B. Levisee,
and the District Attorney, Maj. j,
s. Ashton, for their prompt and
efficient aid rendered us in dis
charge of our duties as jurors, and
we respectfully beg to bedischarg
ed.

Report Of the Grand Jury.

To the Honorable Judge of the
10th Judicial District Court, hold
ing session in and for the Parish
of Bossier, Louisiana We, the
GrandJury empanneled and sworn
atthe September term of the Court,
1868, in and for the parish of BOs-
sier, having discharged all the
duties given us in charge, to the
best ofour ability, would beg leave
to report
We have examined the account
of the Parish Treasurer, relative
to the school fund, and find he re-
ports the sum 1914 %. This is
the whole amount received by the
present Treasurer during his term
of Office. By quarters salary,
at $50 per quarter, amount $780,
90. Amount paid out, as per ac-
count, s2342 80. Cash on hand,
S1,115 IS. Errors caused in dis
tributing 5000.
We have examined the Parish
Jail, and find the general condition
much better than we expected, I'M
der the present circumstances.
The large number of prisoners
render it difficult for the jailor to
keep it as clean as the health of
the prisoners demand. We find
it safe with the exception of the
lock on the outer door and one of
the inner doors.
We further report, the Court
house needs some repairs on the
roof.
We report, we find crime to be
on the increase in Bossier parish,
and especially of the higher grade
thus rendering life and tenure
of property unsafe and insecure.
| We report, the ferry on Benoist
Bayou is badly kept.

Resolved, That the ability,
impartiality, dignity and cour-
tesy displayed by Judge Levi
see, at the present term of our
Court, have commended him to
our unqualified respect and re-
gard, and we do hereby tender
to him our thanks.
Resolved I'd, That this aus
picious beginning of his judi
cial career, assures us that the
dignity of the law and the
the bench will be maintained
by him, and the kind relations
which should ever exist be-
tween the bench and the bar
and officers of court, be foster
ed and promoted.
Resolved 3rd, That we take
this occasion, also, to express
our appreciation Of the energy,
ability and uniform courtesy of
the District Attorney, Maj. J.

Resolved 18th, That these re-
solutions be presented by the
chairman of this meeting to the
Court, with the request that
they be spread upon the minu-
tes of Court.

Just a few miles above
Shreveport on Red River, and
in this parish, a robbery atten-
ded with considerable maltreat-
ment, was committed about the
28th ult., by several freedmen
on a citizen of Columbia coun-
ty, Ark. A considerable body
of white men from that county
came down a few days ago to
investigate the matter, and to
arrest the guilty parties. But
previous to their arrival, a par
ty of freedmen belonging to
the band undoubtedly that
committed the robbery, arrest
ed Messrs. Jas. Brownlee and
Beverly Ogden, who it seems,
had been instrumental in re-
leasing the person who had
been robbed.
Immediately after the arrest,
and in cold blood, the negroes
began to shoot their unresist-
ing prisoners, and after each
had been shot four or five times,
left them to die. Ogden died
in a few hours, but BrOwnlee,
at last account, still fingers
without any hope. Runners
were sent to Shreveport and
out into the country immediate
~ by the neighbors, for assis-
lance. From Shreveport, many
citizens and the military there
located, repaired to the scene
of the outrage, and found some
three hundred negres banded
together. Skirmishing took
place between advanced par.
ties, resulting in the killing Of
several freedmen. But wher
the main body of the U. s. Mil
itary arrived in sight, the large
band of negroes dispersed, and
have not been since found.
| The labOrers of Griswold's
plantation, the Shady Grove
and Gold Point places, and o.
NJ. Baer's place, have deserted
their homes, and are supposed
therefore, to be the rioting par
ty. We learn that the q. s
troops will camp at Benton un
til the troubles cease, which
perhaps has already happened
We hope to be able to give
full particulars incur next, ant
would be thankful to any on,
to set us right in any poin
wherein we may be mistaken
We are also panied to learr
that Mr.. w. H. Thompson hal
probably been killed.
