A BAD Man. SHor.-Intelligence
reaches ns to-day that Anthony Moxley,
q we'll known colored desperate and
horse thief who has been fugitive from
justice for two or three years past, was
shot and mortally wounded in Iberville
parish, near the Ascension line, yestcr-
day morning, by John S. Minor of Dutch
Stores. who had been appointed a spe--
cial deputy Sheriff to arrest Monkey.
Moxley las been for long while
making himself very obnoxious to the
people of the upper portion of the parish,
in the sixth ward, getting ON frequent
sprees, racing disturbances at the coun-
try stores, displaying fire arms and de-
flying all attempts Of the local Consta-
bles to apprehend him, although several
warrants have been at various times is
sued for his arrest upon charges of horse
stealing and other misdemeanors. Mr.
Jno. S. Minor happened to visit Donald
sonville this week, and having remarked
that Monkey was to he seen in his neigh
borhood almost every day, it was sug-
gested that he secure all appointment as
special deputy Sheriff and endeavor to
capture the troublesome fugitive. He
acted upon the suggestion and Sheriff
Jones more than willingly granted the
appointment. On Thursday Mr.. Minor
met Moxley at the Southwood place and
called upon. him to surrender Moxley
said that he wanted to..hearthe warrant
for his arrest read, and while the deputy
Sheriff was producing the document the
willy Moxley jumped into the weeds and
made his escape, unframed by the bull
let from the officers revolver which was
sent after him. Next morning Mr.. Minor
learned that Moxley was in the lower
part of 1berville parish, and proceeding
to store kept by Mr.. Joe Picard, he as
certained that the man lie was after was
at breakfast in the kitchen building
back Of the store. Going to the door Of
the kitchen, the deputy Sheriff called
upon Monkey to surrender. The latter
answered with an oath that no man
should arrest him, and advanced to-
wards the door with his hands under
his coat as if in the act of drawing
weapon. Mr.. Minor warned him several
times to stand back, but the atmonition
was unheeded, and when the desperate
had advanced almost within arms
reach, The officer fired. Monkey fell to
the floor mortally wounded, the bullet
having entered his right side, passing
through his liver and kidneys and lodg-
ing against rib on the left side of his
body. Mr.. Minor summoned DR.. Gour-
rier to attend the wounded man, and
then proceeded to Plaqnemine, in COM
pany with colored man who had wit
messed the shooting, to give himself up
to the authorities. District Judge Cole
inquired into the matter and released
Minor upon his own recognizance to APP
pear at the next jury term of the Dis
trict Court for Iberville. Moxley was
still alive at last accounts, but he can
not recover. He voluntarily acknowl-
edged after the shooting that he de-
served his fate and that the deputy
Sheriff was fully justified in firing upon
him, conclusions that will be endorsed
and approved by the entire community
to which Moxley had been SO long a
nuisance and scourge.

The collection of licenses for the cur
rent year has been very unsatisfactory
up to this time, and Sheriff Jones has
found that he will be delinquent in the
performance of his duty as All officer if
he longer delays the employment of tn
prercgatives with which the laws invest
him to compel the persons liable for this
tax to discharge the obligation. Under
this conviction the Sheriff gives notice,
by means of an official advertisement in
another column Of the CHIEF, that un-
less all State and parish licenses for 1881
are paid within twenty days from this
date, peremptory measures will he adop-
ted to enforce payment. The admoni-
ton will be needed by all license debtors
who desire to avoid trouble and addi-
tional expense.
An enjoyable fair or collation. was
given in Donaldsonville on Saturday,
Sunday and Monday last, under the aus
pices of the st. Joseph Benevolent So
ciety, one of the Oldest associations of
its class in our town, comprising i'll its
membership some Of the best colored
people of the community. This was the
first entertainment the society had ever
given, and in view of the du}lness of
the times and other unfortuitous circum-
stances, the ladies who projected the
affair have every reason to feel satisfied
with its results. Music was furnished by
the st. Joseph and Crescent bands, and
the efforts of these proficient organiza-
tons formed one of the leading attrac-
tions of the festival. A card of thanks
from the ladies of St. Joseph to the
friends who assisted in rendering their
entertainment successful, is published in
another column.

IMPORTANT 1NTELL1G ENCE.-Mr Pierre
Klopman, manager of the large dry goods
house of NJ. Israel & Co., intended to
leave for New York two weeks ago to
purchase mammoth Fall and Winter
stock for this establishment, but received
kilograms from his Northern correspond
ents conveying the information that the
great bankrupt sales which he proposed
to attend had been postponed three
weeks. In consequence of this postpone
ment, Mr.. Klopman will delay his de-
parture until Monday next, the. 18th
inst, when he goes forward to purchase
the largest and best stock which even
the splendid Israel establishment has
yet offered to the inspection of the peo-
pie of this vicinity.
Meanwhile, the remainder of the heavy
Summer and early Fall stock which the
house has carried will be closed out al
most regardless of cost to give place for
the fresh invoices Of goods that will
shortly begin to arrive, thus affording to
the public an unrivaled opportunity to
obtain advantageous bargains. In the
general and universal depression of prices
it is difficult to particularize as to the
department offering the greatest induce
ments to customers, but if there be one
superior to the others in this respect it
is that in which the buggies, carriages
and kindred vehicles are stored. The
bargains which may be obtained of Israel
g. Co., in this class of merchandise are of
a nature that defy competition. 1t is
safe to say this firm has sold more bug
gies and carriages and at lower prices
during the past season than have ever
before been disposed of during any sim
gle year in this section.
In all the other departments of their
extensive emporium Israel & Co., are ex-
tending inducements to their patrons
which are SO numerous and so great that
nothing short of visit and au examina-
ton will adequately impress the Gus
toner with the advantages to he gained
by laying III at this time supply of
whatever goods he may need from the
Israel establishment.
