Captured and Is Shot.

He Makes n Desperate Resistance When
Captured and Is Shot.
The detectives having been informed that the
notorious negro horse thief and burglar, Nelson
Deslile, who escaped from the penitentiary, had
again made his appearance in the Crescent City,
Special Hennessey and Sergt. Duvillier were
placed on his track
Sergt. Duvlllier ran "foul" of his man Saturday
morning, at the corner of Charities and Ursulines
streets, and made him q prisoner. While con-
veying him to prison, he managed to get the best
of the officer, and breaking away started down
Ohartres street with the speed Of q quarter horse
The sergeant not being as fleet OF foot as the
fugitive, but determined to halt him, drew his
revolver and fired one shot. The sergeant was
satisfied that he had not fred in vain, as his man
stopped running, felt his right leg, but seeing
that his pursuer was gaining on him started OFF
az ain, limping.
Deslile ran to the corner Of Dauphine and Es-
planade streets, where he was halted by Mr.. A. j.
Malone, a son of the chief Of detectives, Leonard
Malone, who attempted to secure him until the
officers arrived AS Mr.. Malone attempted to
secure him Deslile made motion az II to draw q
p stol; as he did 30 Mr.. Malone feled him to the
earth, and jumping upon him held him until the
police arrived
Some citizens who were trying to assist MIR.
Malone in securing the obstreperous negro were
severely bitten by HIM. The police finally over
powered aim, ana alter securing MIN Win rope
conveyed HIM to the Third PreciEct Station and
locked him up on the charge OF being an escaped
convict from the Louisiana penitentlary.
In the year 1872 Desile was convicted of horse
| stealing, and sentenced to the penitentiary for
five years; he had hardly been transferred to his
place Of punishment when he made his escape,
and returned to the scene OF his crime.
| On his return to New Orleans he was arrested
| by Aid Pecora and Sergt Ruiz, and while in the
| yard OF the Central Station, attempted to make
his escape, and as he was retreatiDg Aid Pecora
shot him, manning him severely.
The wound he received brought him to earth
| and he was finally incarcerated. On his return
to the penitentiary, re did not remain there six
months when he again broke jail.
The second time he escaped he staid away
from New Orleans and did not return here until
about week ago, and would no doubt have left
the city had he not been arrested this morning.
The accused was arragned before Judge Mil
tenberger and sent to the Parish Prison to await
transportation to the Penitentiary.

MORE BLOOD FOR THE UNITED SONS
OF HONOR.

Negro Named Babe johnson Shot
Twice in a Ball Room.
As usual, another entertainment given by the
negro organization known as the United Sons Of
Honor broke up in bloody row. This time,
instead Of picnic, it was ball given in diapi-
dated shanty at the corner of Poydras and Basin
streets
At about o'clock there had gathered about 300

and kicking Der in the abdomen.
The woman gave terrible shrek and fell on
the floor.
johnson lost but little time in making up his
mind that he had put his foot into it, and was
impressed with the belief that his safety depended
upon his getting on the outside.
As he was retreating from the ball room q
negro, supposed to be Louis Smith, an ex Metro
polisan policeman, slipped up behind him, and
and once in the back of the neck. The accused,
after firing the second shot. leaped through an
open window with peculiar agility and succeeded
in making his escape. The wounded man, who
was dangerously shot, was taken to his residence,
ON Basin street, between Poydras and Perdido.
Sergeant Ryan. who almost Immediately heard
Of the affair, rushed to the scene OF the shoot
ing, and by the time he arrived in the ball room
the scene was perfect pandemoniua. Drunk
en- women were bowling like mad and rush
ing frantically up and down the floor, while the
men made the scene more terrible by their bias
phemies.
!. The Sergeant immediately put quietus on
the whole affair by locking some Of the disturb
ers up, turning the rest in the street and clos
ing the place up.
A diligent search was then made for Louis
Smith, but, after ransacking several stables and
buildings, the police failed to find him.
At the time Of going to press physician had
not visited the wounded man.

HOMICIDE.
A Fatal Shoot ting Array at Fort Jeffsr'

A Fatal Shooting ARRAY at Fort Jeffer-
son.
The Ballard county Ne,cs of the 10th
gives the following particulars of tie
shooting of Charles Louis by Birch Glenn
at Fort Jefferson a few days since:
Last Thursday night at about o'clock,
at Fort Jefferson, Birch Glenn shot and
killed Canadian named Charles Louis,
From all accounts Louis was very
quarrelsome man, and one whom 1t was
impossible to get along with peaceably.
Before supper Glenn and LOUIS had a
settlement, and after supper Louis went
to Glenn's house where he boarded, and
used bad language, sang obscene songs,
and was cutting up the very Gold Nick"
generally. After this thing had been 60
Ing on for an Eour Birch walked in and
told Louis that he must make less noise;
LOUIS at this moment had asked young
boy who was standing in the room, to
sing, but who refused; Louis then said
when bird won't sing he must be made
to sing and so slapped him over. lie
then made dash towards Glenn. who
retreated backward with the intention OF
passing out OF the door, but soon saw that
Louis would have him within his grasp
before he could reach the haven OF safety,
and SO Glenn reached for a shot gun
which sat by the door and was loaded
with buck shot and as Louis was within
one foot of him, fired. The shot entered
his right side and went through to his
heart. He never spoke word after be-
inc shot but died instantly. He was a
large robust man, weighing some 22l
pounds, and was the terror Of Fort JEFF
ferson.
Birch Glenn. who done the shootlng,i is
a young heardless boy of about Is years
and weighs probably $50 pounds, and
when we take things, as well as all
Others. we think the jury will find that
he was justified in the shooting OF this
man.

About Temperance

To the Editor Of the BULLETIN.
A controversy has arisen in the news
papers OF the city as to the right of those
who have signed the pledge OF absin-
ence from the use Of Intoxicating liquors
at Mr.. Reynolds meetings to partake of
the Christian communion. The
more serious fact seems to be lost sight OF
that those, or at least portion OF those,
who denounce the persons who
traffic in ardent spirits are
themselves as grocers selling
intoxicating drinks by the pint, and even
less quantity, to any, and all who de.
sire to purchase 1t Without asking ques.
tons as tot it uses. II the effect of the
crusade Is to transfer the liquor traffic
from saloons (hell holes) to grocery
stores, then does ltnot seem that the at
tempt to raise the standard OF temperance
had better be abandoned?
