Local Intelligence.

An ESCAPED CONVICT CAPTURED.-Cap-
.an Schneider, chief of Metropolitan detec-
ives, learned that two escaped cOnvicts,
njamn and Munsen Alexander were in
the city and had been at work" and de-
tailed detectives Smith and Devereux to
ind them. These officers learned that their
men occasionally visited house on Sew
enth near st. Charles street, therefore took
up position Thursday night to watch the
building. At eight o'clock they observed a
large man enter, and a woman take seat
on the front step. Believing this to be one
OF their men they quietly walked up and
asked the woman if there were anv men in.
side. She said there were none, when the
officers put her aside and entered the house,
but cav no one. Pushing on. Devereux
stepped to rear gallery, where a man
stood.
The greeting they got was from a re-
voiver, the bullet lodging in a door. Smith
was inside, but this report sent him to the
rescue, going through a window, sash and
all. Alexander then attempted to shoot
Smith, VINO had grappled him. Then gen.
eral rough and tumble fight ensued, an
other man joining Alexander. Many shots
were fred, and Ben was wounded. The re-
suit was the arrest of Benjamin Alexander,
bat the other fellow, who is supposed to be
Mubsen Alexander, escaped. This job
Learly cost the officers their lives, and they
got some rough thumps. 1t is posi- ole that
Munsen is wounded. One thing is quite
certain, two very bad men are interrupted
q their rascalities.

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1874-01-17

There is trouble in Terrebonne
about the labor question. The lab
orers many of them refuse to aecede
to the reduced wages offered by plan
tiers, and armed bands of the maleon-
tents have roamed over the parish and
forced hands who had begun work on
several plantations TO qnit the fields,
threatening all who showed a dispo-
sition to resist with condign and sum-
mary punishment. Although no ac-
tual conflicts have taken place, yet
the state of affairs rendered bloodshed
imminent, and in pursuance of pc
tition signed by leading citizens OF
Terrebonne Gov. Kellogg has dis
patched force of militia to the scene
of disorder with instructions to quell
the riots.
