From the Bastrop Republican, October 81:
Our streets on Sunday evening last we're
the scene of an exciting and almost tragic
event, in which our town constable, w. j.
Haynle. received several shots and was &C.
verely but not dangerously wounded. We
fOrbear going into details, as the affair has
to 60 before that burlesque on justice, some
times called 1.-THE palladium of our civil
rights" a jury. The occurrence, in brief,
is as follows:
Julian and Cecil Polk, twin brothers, who
live some seven or eight miles below this
place, on Bayou Bal thOlomew, were in
town on the day alluded t. and committed
come breach of the town ordinances, for
which Constable Haynie undertook to ar
rest them When surrender was de-
manded, they positively refused. Haynie
had summoned W. E. McMeans to assist
him make the arrest. At the refusal to
submit Haynie grabbed Julian Pol by the
collar, but he succeeded in drawing pistol.
Before he could use it McMeans caught him
from the rear around the arms and body.
In the meantime Cecil Polk had COM
menced firing his pistol at Haynie who,
turning, felled him with his bat. Cecil,
while down, fred again. Julian Polk was
still in McMeans' arms, but could use his
pistol enough to point it at McMeans, and
BY threats of shooting made him tMcM sans)
release him. As soon as he was released he
commenced firing at Haynie who, by this
time, had dra wn his pistol, and having re-
ceived two balls in his hand used his
weapon with both, and deliberately fred a
shot at each. He missed Cecil, and his shot
at Julian clipped off the lower portion of his
ear The two brothers, having about emptied
their pistols, surrendered, and Haynie was
master Of the situation.
Haynie received five shots in the rem
counter. The most dangerous was in his
side, which, fortunately, was rendered
harmless by memoranda book which he
carried in his side pocket.
Our citizens are almost unanimous in the
approval of Haynes course and his chiv-
alric bravery. The name he has made for
himself will go far in the future toward the
promotion of peace and good order in our
town.
Julian and Cecil Polk are young men,
who are of good family, have always borne
the character of brave, but quiet citizens,
and have many friends to lament this in
fortunate occurrence. They were admit ted
to bail ON Monday on bond of $500 each.

probably amount to 5000 barrels, Mr..
