RESISTING ARREST.
FATAL RESULT.

Last Sunday afternoon an unfortunate
affair occurred on Dr. Huguets planta-
ton, on the Highlands below this city.
Capt. J. W. Bates, rs will be seen be-
low, discovered that one Allen Philips,
colored, prisoner who was sentenced
by our District Court for burglary and
larceny and who had escaped with other
iail birds from the parish jail in 1876,
while Mr. o. II. Foreman was sheriff,
had returned to his "native roost' in
this parish,
During the forenoon of Sunday Allen
Philips was at the stope of Mr., John
Wax in the southern limits of the town.
and getting under the influence of IL
ouor, allowed his dangerous passions to
get the better of his Judgment. He be-
gan to flourish his pistol and make
the most dire threats, To prevent 0
disturbance, Mr.. Wax, unabashed by
the INJECTIONS hurled ut him and 9th
ers, snatched his trusty repeater from u
drawer, and disarming Allen, started
him in the direction Of his home.
These facts comingto the ears of Chief
r. B. Hillen, with others, he was con-
WINGED of the identity of the negro, and
informed Sheriff Bates of the circum-
stances, who took immediate steps to eff
feet an arrest Deputy Sheriff Skoliield,
with Mr.. Dennis Daigre as assistant
and Mr. Henry Adams as identiter, was
despatched to execute the warrant of ar
rest. These precautions were taken ut
the instance of several parties who were
cognizant of the desperate character of
Allen Philips and his brother Alex, both
of whom were all annoyance and terror
to the colored people Of the neighbor-
| hood.
Upon reaching the house of Alex Phil
ips, the officers found both of them seat
ed near the house in evident converse
ton. They at once resisted arrest.
Alex, brother of the prisoner, caught up
hoe, and rushing upon Mr., Skolfeld,
was in the act of crushing him to the
earth, when Mr. Daigre shot him down.
Instantaneously, Allen seized butcher
knife from the hands Of little child
present and rushed upon Mr. Skolheld in
an effort to get into the house. Mr.
Skoltield stood his ground, and, seeing
the negro was bent on the commission of
some desperate deed to effect his escape
shot him in close proximity. Mr.. Daigre
fred simultaneously, and both balls
taking effect the negro fell.
The wounds of the two men are not
considered fatal by DR.. Duchein who
visited them in company with Sheriff
Bates yesterday, if they receive the
proper care and attention, and the sher-
III has already taken steps to this end,
Since the above occurrence sheriff
Bates has ascertained, the fact that Al
len Philips, the prisoner came near beat
ing white man to death at PlaQuimine,
some months ago, and made his escape.
Also, at Musson station, some time
ago, Albert Philips, threatened, with
drawn pistol to kill clerk. in a store
