V~ICBSBURG WEEKLY HERALD, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 81. 1871.
The Homicide atTerrapIn Neck,

The Homicide atTeFraPIn Neck,
Yesterday morning VIC published a
partial account Of the killing Of Robt.
Baker, on bis place in Eagle Bend, but
we have since cleaned full particulars
Of the affair from Mr.. BIC. Znber, who
obtained them from eye-witnesses.
Baker has q farm on what was former.
ly Terrapin neck, but since q cut-cG
has been made, is known as
Island SO. There is no fencing around
the farm, and no fence is necessary dur
ing high water, but OF the present stage
Of water there is q sand.bar from the
Mississippi shore to the island over
which wagons can be driven. The cat
tie Of the neighborhood thus have easy
access 10 the island and have been
trespassing on Bakers crops, among
them being those Of Mis-. Davis,
a widow lady. On Thursday morning,
Baker had Mrs. Dayis's COWS penued
up, and declared that they should not
be driven away until he had been paid
a dollar q head per day, for the time he
had kept them, and also compensation
for damages they had done to his crop.
Early on that morning, Mrs. Davis's
son, a young man about twenty.one
years OF age, went over 10 Bakers to
get the cattle, accompanied by several
negroes and two or three white men.
Arrived there, they were confronted
by Baker, who swore that the cattle
should not be driven of until he had
been paid as stated above. High words
ensued in which Baker called Davis q
sd liar" and Davis struck him.
Baker exclaimed, "you are armed
and | am not" Davis then pull.
cd out his pistol, All improved Smith
& Wesson and laid It on the fence, tell
ing Baker that he would fight him q
fair fist fight. Baker turned and went
into his house, as Davis thought, to
arm himself. But 1t seems that q ne.
gro woman, whom Baker kept as a
wife, had hid his weapons, q Winches.
ter rifle and q revolver, under q mat.
tress and he couldn't find them for
some time. Davis waited patiently
for him 10 return, and finally let the
cattle out and was driving them of,
when he heard Baker calling him. AS he
turned in his saddle, Baker fired at him
with the rife at q distance Of only five
or six PAGES, and missed him. The re.
port OF the gun scared DAvis's horse go
that it threw him, and while he
was down on the ground Davis
fred at him again and missed.
Davis, who was bruised by the fall
aud thought lie had been bit By the
fret shot, rolled over facing Baker,
pulled his pistol and fred without eli.
feet. lie then rose aud fred again,
missing as before. Baker then retreat
ed towards his Clubhouse, Davis again
shooting twice, aud stumbled into a
gully, got up on his knees and was
again taking deliberate aim at Davis.
when the latter fred tie last
load from his revolver, with fata, re-
suits. The bal! penetrated Baker,
heart, causing almost instant death,
These are the facts in the case as re.
lated by all present. The Coroner OF
Madison parish was holding au inquest
on Bakers body, yesterday, aud there
seemed TO be 10 doubt that the Jury
would return a verdict CT iustidab!C
homicide.

Gambstta's Chances for Defeating the
Sentence Against Him.

LONDON, Sept. IA Paris dispatch
to the Times shows how Gambetta, BY
taking advantage of all his technical
rights, can prevent the judgment
against him from becoming deinitive
until after the confirmation Of his cleo
ton as Deputy, which would protect
him from imprisonment. The CORES.
pondent Is evidently replying to the
argument of the Paris GauIois aud
Figaro that the judicial decision sen.
fencing Gambetta to three months i'm.
prisonment for an outrage, deprive
him Of civil rights for Eve years, and
continues: II am perfectly aware the
arrest en.appel. becomes deinitive
