The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1878-02-01

A freedman from Morehouse was in
town about II month ago, and had bus
mess at Gerson's. After he had gone, a
pair of boots was missed. Wednesday
he came back and walked into Ger
sons with the boots on. He was &C
cused of the theft, which he denied,
but ran out of the store. An exciting
chase followed, and the young man
was caught. He is safe in Jail now
where one has precious little use for
cavalry boots.

and artistic in execution. 1t represents Con

home, which he finds ruined by shot and she'll,
looking lonely and desOlate. In front of the
ruined cottage, telling a sad tale OF the miseries
of war, are two graves with rude crosses, on
one of which some friendly hand has. hung
garland. Tho graves are overhung by weep

returned soldier with bowed head, as If think
