EXCITEMENT In HOUMA-ONR MAN
~ -ssf saf1 ta 4 SHOT. .-.ts ssesa..s ....

We learn from Deputy Marshal Stockton,
who has just returned from Houma, Terre-
bonne parish, that upon his arrival there, on
Saturday, considerable anxiety WAS shown
by large part Of the citizens a. to whether
his visit was for the purpose Of arresting
several ladies and gentlemen charged by
one Barrow with kidnapping his child,
among whom were the Presbyteria preach
er and wife and an old lady some seventy
years of sge. He assured them that he did
not bring the warrants. and would make
no arrests under them, because the United
States district attorney did not consider the
charges sufficient to hold the persons named
This reply seemed perfectly satisfactory.
and after dinner Mr.. Stockton took . horse
and buggy and drove to the Quitmsn plan
tation, about twenty miles from Houma.
After he left the town, Mr. Board, agent
of Barrow, and Mr.. Wood, for whom war
rant had issued, got to quarreling, when
Wood drew pistol and shot Board through
the ear and through the feshy part of the
arm. Wood ran into Zeringers' saloon and
from his back door through the block and
made good his escape. ,i e. t1s -.t.d.L
General Lyon, the sheriff, appeared on
the scene soon after, and unable to find
Wood, called for coal oil to burn the block
and thereby chase Wood out, aN he sup
posed he was concealed in the block come
where. This excited others and they imme-
diately commenced arming; the coIored
men armed and took sides with the sheriff;
and so the two forces stood during the
night. i@4'' '''A'S "a '''' T'@"
On Sunday morning Board went to Zerin-
ger, and, putting pistol to his head. noti-
fed him to kiss his wife and say his prayers,
as he lBoard) would XIII him that day.
Zeringer came on the frst train to this city
for his health. Sunday several whites were
passing to and fro through the town carry
ing Spencer rifles, - they said for self-pro-
lection. "' ''' - -. 90 A
9 There is nothing of political character
st all about the matter. The quarrel was
between two white citizens, both Demo
Gratis, and the colored people nsturally
went with the colored sheriff in his attempt
to find Wood. All was quiet when the
train left at one o'clock Sunday afternoon.
No good citizen, white or black, upholds
the sheriff in his threat to fire tho block.

The Academy Of Music.

The new programme for this week put
forth by the Lulu combination proves no
less attractive than that of their first per-
formance. The attendance last night was
not as large as the merits of the enter tain
nent deserved, but an appreciative au-
dience was present. The little sketch "Be-
hind the Scenes" served to intr Oduce
Messrs. Beane and Raymond and Misses
Fanny Beane and Fanny Montague in a
medley of farcical and tragic bits of acting,
and afforded much amusement. The olio
was better than that of last week, and the
trapeze acts and wonderful bound of Lulu
continues to surprise all who see her. This
is the last week Of the engagement Of this
admirable combination. ..-...., .f.... b

A writer in the Montgomery Advertiser
says: ~ have come to the conclusion that
cheap shotguns. powder and lead are the
bane of the South. l am satisfied that
these implements of destruction have this
year cost Alabama alone $4,000 900! 1t
seems incredible. but it Is nevertheless true.
We all remember that before the war the
traveller along our public thoroughfares
frightened from every fence corner troops
of little insectiverous birds. The whole
heavens were in every direction vocal with
their twit5er and song. Then the ravages
of the cotton caterpillar were exceptional.
1t was net one year in ten that they in
jured the crops. But the case ia widely
different now"

The members of this club gave their SEC
ond entertainment at National Theatre last
evening, to very fine audience. We no
ticed large number of ladies in the third
tier, and the attendance must have been
very gratifying to the club. The Southerns
are young in dramatic life, the club having
been organized in June of the present year,
but they have hosts of friends, and give
good entertainments. r The performance
last evening commenced with the two-act
drama OF "The Charcoal Burner" by
George Almar, and concluded with
the farce of "The Irish Broom Maker
The characters in the drama and farce
were creditably sustained by Nessrs.

,caIped by a sdnaW.

The following incident uf The re cent
battle between the Sioux and Ponca
Indians at the POnca agency, Is told
by the Sioux City iowa journal:
"a Sioux brave bad gained the
shelter of one Of the buildings, from
which position he was enabled 10 fire
at his foes from snort range. While
he was stan ding just at the corner OF
tt e building, loading his gun, Ponca
sQuaw rushed from the house, and be-
fore the Sioux could defend himself,
gave him q slashing cut across the ao-
domen with a huge knife. As she
struck him the Sioux inVOlun tarlly
bent forward, clasping his abdomen
with both hands, and just at that in-
slant the squaw grabbed him by the
hair, and with a savage stroke Of the
knife scalped him. Shaking her go' y
trophy alOft, and giving shriil cry
of defiance, she darted back into the
building III safety, followed by a doz-
en- rifle balls from as many Sioux VINO
from a distance saw the result OF the
sortie. The effect was perfectly mad
dening upon the Sioux, for to have
one Of their warriors scalped by a
squaw, was q disgrace which could
only be wiped out by the blood of the
entire band of Poncas. They rushed
for the buildings, but met with a fire
which LAID many Of them low, and
the rest retired to a safe distance
without having injured their foes.
The act of the squaw seemed to IL
spire the POncas, and, fleunting from
a window tho scalp ofthe unfortunate
Sioux, they uttered yeiis OF derision
snd contempt which nearly drove the
Sioux frantic"

he felt his way into the pantry, where
it was usually kept, and missing the

on the shelf, he sung out (man-fash-
