Bodcau.

In some old deeds and maps
our lake and bayou is styled
Bayou Beattie, which word is,
we think, the French for bless
ed. Very likely the Indian
name Bodcau has the same
and the French was
a translation.
Since civilization has arrived
upon it it has proved anything
but a blessing. To the savage
the great quantities of the fish
and water fowls of its waters
and the deer that roamed its
woods, made it a river of Para
disc. To us its rises and falls,
and consequent bad ferries,
makes it anything else. Its
fine summer pastures tempt us
to raise cattle, its overlooking
scatters them and drives them
within reach of the Shreveport
market, and thereby many are
lost. It's splendid acorn crops,
on which 10. Knight lost thirty
thousand dollars, tempts the
raising Of hogs, that are almost
certain to die from eating its
sprouting cockle-burs or its
polypusses. It's always going
to be nayigated and going to
be bridged, but don't quite get
to where it is going. Some peo-
pie will get drunk, and this
stream and lake lies just in the
right place for them to drown
in. These three freed people,
mentioned in another article,
and a Norwegian by the name
of Oleson, were drowned from
drink and Bodcau water. A
drunken mali rider a year OF
two ago, rode into it and lost
: his horse, mail and everything
valuable, but saved his worth
less life by hanging to a cy.
press until the ferryman return,
; ed from the other side. Just
after the war a wagon load OF
drunken Federals, bringing
} commissary stores, were plung.
ed right into its deepest part
} but by luck, whether good OF
bad we shan't pretend to say
they saved their lives.
But if this civilization that
has arrived upon the Bodcau
shall ever increase to enlight.

Drowned.

On Tuesday evening last
three freed people, a man,
woman and boy, were drowned
in the channel of Bodcau lake
at the Bellevue ferry. At low
water the lake becomes simply
a bayou, and at the ferry the
road on the west side skirts this
bayou some distance. The fer
ryman, a freedman named Sol
Franklin, was carrying some
passengers up this channel to
put them out beyond a certain
bad slough, when he saw these
freed people in a one horse wa
gon coming to the ferry. He
hailed them and told them to
wait for him.
When he returned he found
the horse standing in the water
with the fore wheels of the wag-
on attached to him-having
swum the bayou; on some float
ing bedding just below an in
FAINT Ofabout eight months was
lying nearly drowned, the water
only partially covering it. The
infant and horse were rescued,
but the other occupants of the
wagon were nowhere to be seen.
This all occurred near night
fall. Early on Wednesday
morning many of our citizens,
white and black, repaired to the
scene Of the disaster and insti-
tuted a search, which resulted
in the finding of the bodies OF
a man, woman and child OF
some two years of age. The
man was fished from the bot
tom at the ferry crossing; the
| woman was found some dis
lance below floating, attached
: to an old buggy seat by a rent
in her clothes. The child was
| found still further down, also
floating.
On examining the mans
clothes letters were found show.
ing that he was a servant OF
Judge W. B. Egan, Of Shreve.
, port going to Mt. Lebanon. His
name was Cal; the names o.
the woman and children are
/ unknown.
A key half full of whisky ant
! an empty bottle were found
floating at the ferry, and there
fore it is supposed the man al
: least was drunk, and that he
: heedlessly drove into the bay
+ on to ford it.
Aninquest was duly held ant
$ the verdict was in accordance
e with above statement.
The infant is near the ferry
nursed by a freedwoman.
