PROF. J. w. NICHOLSON.

We congratulate tho cadets aud
students at the Louisiana State Uni
Versity, at Baton Rouge on the unan-
imous election of Prof. j. w. Nicholson,
rs president of that institution. Pro
fessor Nicholson was an officer in the
old 18th Louisiana regiment during
the war and many of us here, who went
through the same trials remember him
with feeling of fraternity. Professor
Nicholson is ripe scholar and an able
Instructor, who is gifted with much
administrative ability, coupled with
Kindness and tirmness of character,
which, besides aiding him in conduc-
ting the university with success will
serve asa bright example to the youth
entrusted to his care Point Coupee
Bonner.
we cordially endorse what our old
compatriot of the Banner says of Prof,
Nicholson in the above. He was an
excellent soldier and disciplinariap.
and Is a teacher of more than ordinary
aptitude and attainments. =.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN RAYyILE.

Just at dark last Saturday evening
we were startled by the report of two
pistols shots within the space of five or
six seconds; and repairing to
the place from whence the sounds
proceeded and where n crowd collected,
we were horribly shocked to find two
citizens of our town, M. A. Jones and
N. III. Collins, lying within Il few feet
of each other; the latter dead and the
former dying, each from pistol shot
wound.
From the testimony Of witnesses be-
fore the jury of inquest and the state
ments Of others, we gathered the fol-
lowing facts in relation to this terrible
tragedy:
1t seems that VIM. B. Roberts, be.
coming incensed at some real or imag-
mary affront, had hunted up n. II.
Collins and prevailed upon him to arm
himself and go with him as his"backer"
in difficulty. Having thus prepared
himself, Roberts went into Simms'
saloon, where few gentlemen were,
fiourishing pistol and acting in a
manner to provoke difficulty. Il. r.

up his pistol and walked out with him
on the gallery, when he attempted to
draw it again; McLemore seized hold

Roberts was disarmed; but during the
scuffie he called out for Collins, who
ran upon the gallery of Simms &
Balfour's store, which is adjoining that
of the saloon, armed with double
barrel shot gun. Mr.. Jones, who hap.
pened to be standing on the gallery or
passing along it at the time, seized the
gun, begging Collins to desist. Collins
attempted to release the gun from
Jones' hold, but Jones wrenched the
gun from his grasp. Collins then drew
his knife, and cursing Jones, demand.

render the gun, telling him that he
could not have it to shoot some one

Deputy Sheriff Joel l.. Toler took hold
Of Mr.. Collins; Collins snatching his
pistol from him, turned and snapped ii
at Mr.. Jones. Summerlin attempted to
knock the pistol up, but it fired, the
ball entering Mr.. Jones' right breast,
inflicting mortal wound, and powder
burning Mr.. Summerlin's hand. In
the mean time Summerlin had grasp,

across the back of the hand and on the
thumb, and then started off in an
easterly direction, but was shot and
instantly killed before he had proceed.
