All was going on 80 well that in an

able TO pay me every cent he owed me,
when an accident happened to him
While going home from Nevada one dag

his wagon against . tree, crushing in hii
skull and instantly killing him, l wa,
in Fall Creek when l heard that my
robber was dead. l at once went dowr
to the ranch and married the widow
not right away, you must understand
for she thought great deal of Reed;
comforted her and took care of thingi
on the place until a proper time had ex
pired.
Now you know how met my robbei
and how got my revenge. To this day
Mrs. Waldow does not know when anc
how l first became acquainted with hel
first husband. She still thinks it was al

The Jury having completed the
examination of accounts, the CON-
mittee appointed to review and mark
out road along the front of Red
River from Mrs. Canes, opposite
Shreveport, to o. B. Childers', made
the following report, to-wit:
BossIER PAR, La, Nov. 5, 80.
We, the committee appointed at
the last session OF the Police Jury
to review and map out a road along
the front of Red River from Mrs.
Canes, opposite Shreveport, to O.
Childers', on Red River, report that.
we have made the review in accord
ance with the act Of the Police Jury,
and the road runs, or is to run, as
follows: Beginning at o. B. Childers'
the road passes by road now used
along the front up the river to point
where river bends, thence the road
runs by present road across the
bend to the river at an old bayou,
thence up the river to Chalk Level
levee, and thence up on east side of
levee to Mack's bayou, thence up
the river front to the ferry landing
at Shreveport. We recommend that
the road and turn rows now used as
road, be used until convenient to
the planters to put the road on i'm.
mediate front. The road is practi-
cable throughout, with a little work
to be done in throwing dams over
Richmond and st. Charles, and other
small bayou, and bridging Mack's
bayou. We recommend that the
dams be built, but that Mack's bayou
be not now bridge, but that the fer
~ in high water used, be continued.
We estimate the cost of the dams
at twelve hundred dollars, and think
that the same should be appropriate
ed, and the work contracted for
Along parts of the front the sandy
lands have such width that for
benefit of land owners, and to short
en- the road, it could be run some
distance from the river. Under the
State laws we think the road now
exists along the river, as we recon
mend, and that it is the duty of the
Police Jury to keep it up, as other
roads.

and empowered to contract for the

workmanlike manner, and completed
in such time he (Dortch), may deem
expedient. Furthermore, that such
levying or daming shall not exceed
the sum of $1,000 in cash.
The resolution was considered and
adopted.
