persons suffering from the effect ofdphhera, aud the

But for persons suffering from exhaustion of the

The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1879-07-11

Maj. J. w. Green, Receiver of the
", s. & T. railroad, aided by Capt. F.
Y. Dabney, made q survey of the
Ouachita at the railroad crossing,
Wednesday, and will next week, make
similar survey of Red river at the
point of crossing at Shreveport. This
Is done, as we learn from Mai. Green.
to determine the difference between the
high and low water marks of these
rivers-the old surveys having been
burned, lin order that the cost of build
ing bridges over the two rivers may be
approximately known when the road
comes to be sold. This would be i'm.
practicable at high stage of water.
1t was ascertained that the Ouachita at
the railroad crossing measures from
bank to bank 925 feet.
Mr.. McLeran, March %, 1874, made
n survey of the river opposite this Office.
about 800 yards south of the railroad
crossing, and reported the width at $40
feet from bank to bank.

killing of Phillip McClendon.

killing of Phillip N1cClendOn.
On the srd instant, Mr.. Phillip Nc
Clendon was killed by his brother-in-
law, Mr.. Gentry, ut the Zeigler old
place, where deceased lived, in Jack
son parish, near the Indian Village.
The report we get is to the effect
that there had been bad feelings be-
tween the parties for some time. On
the day mentioned, deceased and his
brother, and Gentry and his brother,
met at dcceased's house. Angry words
passed, but the matter was amicably
settled. Gentry and his brother, some
time after, returned, one with shot
gun. The trouble was renewed, when
one of the Gentrys started into Nc
Ciendon's house and persisted in en-
tering, although McClendon warned
him not to enter. Gentry was shot by
McClendon with squirrel shot in the
shoulder. The other Gentry then shot
McClendon with buck-shot, the shot
killing him almost instantly. The two
Gentrys left and have not been arrest
ed. All the parties concerned in this
sad affair were young white men.

River News.

A rise of about four inches occurred
in the river during the past week,
from what cause we are unable to
say. 1t is now stationary and will, no
doubs, begin falling again soon, but it
will not recede much.
The Little Bob B. arrived Sunday
from Carter's landing, where she met
the John Wilson and exchanged
freights. The Wilson, after transfer
ing to the Bob, came up as high as
Columbia.
The U. S. man-of-war, Wachusett,
which was on ground near Lake Prov
idence nearly a week, was pulled off
by the tow-boat John Gilmore, and
returned to Vicksburg Tuesday, where
she will probably remain until there is
water enough to allow her to get as
high at least as Memphis. She draws
l6 feet.
The Little Bob passed down yester-
day at 1 p. m.
The. Jimmie Baker is still lying on
the opposite side of the river, immedi-
ately below the city, awaiting orders
from her purchasers.
The railroad company has had a sur
vey made across the river from the
foot Of Jefferson street to the opposite
side, for the purpose, we understand
of ascertaining the probable cost o.
constructing bridge.
Why is the Jimmie Baker, in hcl
present position, like false witness il
