BULLDOZERS BULLDOZED

The usual quiet and law abiding COM

men, armed cap-o-pie and mounted on
good steeds, who hailed from crawfish
branch, in our sister parish, East Baton
Rouge. They seemed bent Oh mischief
and inquired particularly for the where
abouts of a young planter who had been
visited by herse-thieves on Good Friday,
and whose mules had been driven into
the woods of East Baton Rouge.
These valiant knights of the moods, who
We are informed were recognized as the
identical individuals, did not have long
( to wait for their would be victim.
Friends informed him that Bulldozers
were looking for him and he prepared
to meet them, armed with a double
barreled shotgun. He soon met his
foes face to face and leveled his gun at
them, but sooner than it takes us to
write it they threw up their hands and
inplored his forgiveness. This exhibit
ton ofpusilanimity disarmed our young
friend entirely. He dropped his gun and
took hold of them and rubbed their
heads together and cufed them pretty
severely and invited them to any kind of
a combat that would be congenial to
them. But they begged piteously and
swore that their GRAND was one of
peace and they bore him no malice.
They were permitted to 60 unmoles-
ted. The people, however, who had
been attracted hither were so incensed
that had it not been for the appeals
made by the brave young man in their
behalf, the towards would have been
hung to the first tree.
We are opposed to Lynch law upon
principle, but when a set of men at

to regulate peaceful and law-abiding
