After long and exciting chase Deput,
SHERIFF. j. w. Little and James Collier sue
ceeded in arresting Henry Lacour, Emil
Lacour and Frank Moses. charged with at
tempting to murder Henry Peyton on tn,
arrested near Mr.. Campbelrs place on Fri
day night, some miles below this CITY. The
other two parties we're arrested about si1
miles below here.
| Henry Lacour, after examination Thurs
day. was required to give bond in the sun
of $3.50 for waylaying and attempting te
| murder Peyton. He was also required to
| give bond in the sum of 500 on the charge
| of larceny and $50 for mule stealing. The
other parties were released from custody
! for want of evidence against them. Lacoul
is incarcerated in jail, not having given the
required bonds.
As sequel to the arrest of Henry Lacour
and other parties brought here last Satur.
day by Deputy Sheritfs Collier and Little,
accompanied by Samuel Hynes and -
Payne, Texan, there occurred a fearful
ecene on ST. Denis street, about $50 P. M.
Mr. j. NJ. Sullivan, of Grant parish, accom-
panied the prisoners in order to go on their
bonds. He was a brOther-in-law to Captain
Hynes, and there seemed to be considerable
animosity existing against him, both on the
part of Hynes and Payne, but for what
reason it is difficult to state.
After coming from Judge Bredas resi-
dence, where he had gone to see the Judge
about the bonds, he rode up st. Denis
street. Captain Hynes and Payne mounted
their horses near the corner of Second and
ST. Denis streets, and rode up on Sullivan.
Both OF the men had double barrel shot
guns, and Sullivan had revolver. When
near Sullivan. Hynes halted, and Sullivan
seeing him. dismOunteG, and endeavOred to
screen himself behind his horse. Hynes
leveled his gun, and as he remarked, ''God
On you, don't STIR" fired. Sullivan fell.
and as he did 30, was again shot at by
Payne. Hynes remarked, as Sullivan fell.
"NOw, d-n you, hide behind your horse !"
He was shot in the head, five balls striking
him, and some of them penetrating the
brain.
After lingering speechless until one
o'clock Sunday morning, Sullivan died.
Hynes and Pavne both escaped, although
closely followed by the sheriff and several
deputies. 1t ia utterly impossible to reach
the origin of this difficulty, az there are nu-
merOus reports prevalent relative to it.
Threats were made by both parties, and it
is difficult to reach the true solution of the
trouble-whether family feud, an old
grudge, or arising from recent occurrences.
1t is fact, however, that Sullivan was
shot and killed, and our usually quiet city
thrown into state of wild excitement over
the fearful termination of this personal feud.
