A@LOVE EPISODE.

g.. 49, r. : ~ e - e
The usually quiet community Of
Piueville, was rather startled on
Thursday last, by the appearance on
Main street of several mounted men,
all strangers, armed with double bar
relied shot guns. Upon inquiring it
was ascertained that the posse was
headed BY the Sheriff Of Caldwell
Parish, Mr.. Ferrand, who was in
quest Of wounded man who passed
through this place the day before,
making, it was supposed, for Texas.
The wounded mans name was j. W.
.Hilborn, and he was wanted in Cald-
we'll, the Parish from which he had
made his escape, as an important
witness for the State. Mr.. Hilborn
was two-fold victim, first to Love,
and then to almost tragedy
The particulars Of the case, as we
gathered them from the Sheriff, are
as follows: It appears Nj. Hilborn,
who is a skilled mechanic, had been
in the employ of Mr.. j. B. Everett,
Of said Parish, aud at whose house
be boarded. Mr.. Everett had 4 very
comely daughter, with whom Mr.
Hilborn fell in love, and to whom be
became engaged. In the course 81
time he asked the old man for his
daughter, and IVES met by positive
refusal--the father, it is alleged
making some serious threats agains,
his would be son.in-law ifhe persis
Tied in his suit. Well, some tw,
weeks ago, after nightfall, party 0
four men came to Mr.. Everett,
house and demanded to know if Mr.
1Hilborn was there. They were an

They called his name, and the secont

Who are the hungry aspirants for
office, unless it be the nominations
published in eve the PeopleT-
They are not the candidates on the
Democratic Conservative ticket, for
the Offices sought the men and not
they the Office, and such word as
defeat was never thought Of for a
m oment. They do not intend to be
defeated-for the good people of the
Parish who have placed them in the
front, are determined to elect them.
AS to a fair count--the Sheriff, H.
NJ. Robinson, is the returning officer
by law, and, the fair count is with
him. AS to the Editors of the DEM
ocRAr--they do not claim to be lead
ers, but they do claim to represent
the intelligence and the tax paying
portion of the people, and dare to ad-
vocate their rights, free from the
prejudice or influence Of the hungry
office seekers. They have always
been the friends and protectors of
the colored people, and intend to re-

"Led you to water like horses"-yes
with his hand upou your throat, to

deed pitiful sight that you should
thus allow yourselves to be classed
with the brutes, and we now, the
