A ROW ON POYDRAS STREET.
Lots of Blood, But No Killing.

About half-past s o'clock last night the in
habitants around Poydras Market were thrown
into an uncommon state of excitement A
big fight took place, in which one R. Rosen-
thai received sound drubbing and several
bruises from an opposition merchant named
Sol Holman, better known as "Cheap john, u
who drives quite lively trade in the cheap
by a reporter of the BULLETIN, the following
facts were obtained:
1t seems that "Cheap John has been for
some time past selling goods at a rate SO
much below the price of his rivals in trade
that they all became jealous of the prosper
GUS business carried on by "John." Opposi-
ton is the soul of trade, and very often the
source of disagreementa and blows, as is proven
in this instance.
Rosenthal being envious of the thriving
business done by "Cheap John" took occa-
sion to vent his spleen by insulting "John -
every time he passed his way.
"John," being of a peaceable nature, bore
the abuse and slurs cast upon him for some
last night "John's" wife and family were
passing by Rosenthars, when suddenly the
latter gentleman began TRADE Of abuse
against the female department of ''John's"
family. This rather riled Mrs. "John," who
Immediately went to her husband and with
streaming eyes complained of the gross in
suits heaped upon her.
As matter of course "John" laid in wait
for Rosenthal at the corner of Poydras and
Carondelet streets, and as he saw the ma
ligner of his wife approach, he stepped for
ward and dealt his man a terrific blow, which
sent him spinning against an iron post, which
came in uncomfortable proximity to Rosen-
thals head, causing the skin to part and the
Yells of murder were instantly echoed upon
the stiffness of the evening air, when peelers
rushed to the scene of action, and pulled the
infatuated Heiman off of the PROSTATE Rosen-
thai All hands were taken to the Central
Station, when "Cheap John" was locked up,
and Rosenthal laid in the police Office as
if dead.
Hard hearts were around, stern and and
stalwart men gathered in circle about the
poor creature whom they thought all but
breathing his last. Suddenly some one re-
marked " Rosenthal was wrong" when with
out any premonition he bounced up and ex-
claimed in stentorian voice, "Uf l vas, den
1 don't know somedings-dot man he has at
tackled me mid vepons vat vas dangerous, und
my brains vas beat out, uf mine frow don
come right away"
A little water and shaking served to bring
Rosenthal to sense Of his duty, when he
was taken up and conveyed home by several
sympathizing friends.
Heiman, who was in the lock up, says the
only way he can carry on his business with
out interference, is to click" several of the
interlopers.
Assault and battery, woundipg with intent
to kill, is the charge against Holman.

LAFITTE'S TREASURE.
A Chest With $4,000 in
DOublOOnS Found.
Who Is The Mysterious Visitor

There have always been for many years past
vague rumors floating about, that along the
the Louisiana and Mississippi coast the men
of LATTE had buried treasure. Every now
and then We hear of expeditions starting on
search for the hidden booty, but what may
be their success is never known.
1t will be remembered, doubtless, that some
years ago certain family here received from
the dying lips of one of Lafttes men the
description of spot where chest of doub-
| looms was to be found. The two sons started
but never returned. A third of the family
started but was drowned in a storm. This
fatality has, in measure, dampened the ar
dor of many, and we now hear of fewer such
trips.
The quiet of the coast has, however, just
been seriously disturbed, and as we learn from
Mr.. Holly, of the United States Circuit Court,
just returned from Bayou La Battre, thirty
miles this side of Mobile. on the New Orleans
Railroad, there is a money fever raging.
1t appears that five days ago, at Devils
Hole, curious craft Of schooner rig put in.
She was very small, but had the appearance
of having come some distance, her build be-
ing unlike anything seen hereabouts for
years. Her crew consisted of two men and q
dog. The men conversed we'll in English,
and from their appearance were evidently
connected with the sea-
Coming to anchor at shutdown, just outside,
man came ashore and rowing up to fisher
man at the mouth of the bayou, asked him if
he would pilot them up to this Devils Hole
They gave him at once forty dollars in gold,
on this agreement, and accordingly the other
man on board the schooner was signaled.
He rowed in with spades, lanterns, ETC., in
the boat and all got in. Piloted by the fisher
man they went up the bayou four miles and
commenced work.
They selected spot from diagram they
consulted, and after digging until 1915 that
night, the spade touched metal box. They
became very excited, dug faster, and at last
lifted out Of the hole, some seven feet in
depth, a strong iron chest, corroded and
rusty. Breaking it open with an iron bar,
they were rewarded by sight of SIS, 600 in
gold coin. The fisherman was excited and
hardly knew what to do.
He heard them count the money and imag-
ined they we're of some band of robbers. He
assisted them with the chest down to the boat
They rowed off to the schooner. When
the fisherman looked out over the waters
next morning, no sail was in sight
Who were these mysterious visitors is the
question now agitating the denizens of Bayou
La Battre.
