visiting on the bayou In company with Mr.

after he had entered into the front gates Of
Che plantation, riding In company with Mr..
Waldron, q negro, who had been concealed In
the weeds alongside Of the road arose and
with shot gun fired upon Mr.. Hoffman,
lodging the load In the body OF his victim,
and causing his death instantly
The murderer is named Hilton Davis. After
firing the fatal shot the murderer fled. and as
night was at hand he made his escape before
any organized pursuit could be had. 1t Is
said that Mr.. Hoffman had some words with
Davis In the morning. and ordered him off
the plantation for not paying his rent. The
negro had been In town and had said during
the day that be intended to kill Hoffman, but
Il was considered as little wild talk only
The sheriff is using every effort to arrest the
murderer, but UP 10 this time he has not been
found. Neither Mr.. Hoffman or Mr. Waldron
had arms upon them.
