chrome yellow, the lower portion Of
her face was scarlet; she wore a scar
let blanket thrown loosely over her

RESISTING ARREST.
FATAL RESULT.

Last Sunday afternoon an unfortunate
affair occurred on Dr.. Huguet's planta-
tion. on the Highlands below this city
Cant. J. W. Bates, as 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
Jail birds from the parish jail in 1876,
while Mr.. O. H. 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 h
auor, allowed his dangerous passions to
get the better of his judgment. He be-
can to flourish his pistol and make
the most dire threats. To prevent a
disturbance, Mr. Wax, unabashed by
the INJECTIONS hurled at him and 9TH
ers, snatched his trusty repeater from
drawer and disarming Allen, started
him in the direction of his home.
These facts coming to the ears OF Chief
r. B. Hillen. with others, he was con-
viuced of the identity of the negro, and
informed Sheriff Bates of the circum-
stances, who took immediate steps to et-
feet an arrest. Deputy Sheriff Skoltield,
with Mr.. Dennis Daigre as assistant,
and Mr.. Henry Adams as identitier, was
despatched to execute the warrant OF ar
rest. These precautions were taken at
the instance of several parties who were
cognizant of the desperate character OF
Allen Philips and his brother Alex, both
of whom were an 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.. Skolfield,
was in the act of crushing him to the
earth, when Mr. Daigre shot him down.
, Instantaneously, Allen seized a butcher
knife from the hands of a little child
present and rushed upon Mr.. Skoltield in
an effort to get into the house. Mr.
Skolfeld stood his ground, and, seeing
the negro was bent on the commission O.
some desperate deed to effect his escape
shot him in close proximity. Mr. Daigrt
fired simultaneously, and both BALL
taking effect, the negro fell.
The wounds of the two men are no
considered fatal by DR.. Duchein VIII
