and is unwilling to go over to Bay St.
Louis, 60. he goes a-gunning for his man
with malice prepense. Having quarreled
with another male milk maid, Aiphopse
Folkaldo, and being greatly offended at be,
ing called liar by that parsonage, retired
to his gilded apartments in the second
story Of a cow stable, procured 9 well,
stuffed double-barreled shotgun, returned
to where Alphonse was crevassing
singled COW, and deliberately let loose
both charges, the shot penetrating Al
phonse's single left side, causing him to al
most kick the bucket. After this Peter
would not deny that he had done the
bloody deed, but walked over half of Car.
rollton and finally found policeman, to
whom he narrated his tender tale. Police
man believed, and thereupon marched him
to friendly calaboose, where he iced one

pairs to wound which win prevent him
working for at least week. Belligerents
