BRAVE SHERIFF DUZON.
Arresting "a Desperate Murderer After a
Hand to- Hand Conflict


NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 4.-The hand-to-
hand fight between sheriff Duzon and a
posse with j. ;. Lane, the murderer of
Neely, the details of which have been
puDllshed, opens up chapter unrivaled
in the annals Of crime. William
Nicely, the victim of Lane, was an
old man of venerable appearance. Lane
was mOroSe, NlndlctiVe man with bad
reputation. He took umbrage at some or
der given by Neely, and, firing at him half
a dozen times, left him dead. He took
to the woods, accompanied by a fellow
workman named Brown, from Georgia,
whose history and crimes have been
brought to light by this tragedy. Sheriff
Duzon struck their trail and by shrewd
skill traced them up. At Pollock on Sat
urday leading his posse, he closed around
the fngitives in thicket. when 80 shots
were fired before. Lane fell, mOrtally
wounded by bullet from DuzOn's Win
chester. When Lane was diving Brown
fell upon his PROSTATE body, kissing his
friends cold lips and begging the SherifftO
shoot him also; that he had fought for his
friends safety, and that if he had known
he was dying when he he surrendered he
Brown would have fought the posse
till death. The action of the Sheriff in
pressing so closely upon the heels of the
murderers has won for him great appro-
baton. At public meeting in White
vile, it was resolved that the hero Sheriff
oil St LaWdry, who pursued the two des-
perate murderers of Neely through forty
miles OF dismal swamp, killing the mur-
derer and arresting his associate after
having received himself from the mur-
derer wound, deserved more than Ordi-
nary notice from the public Mr.. Duzon
has earned for himself. by his hazardous
discharge of duties, a eulogy above all
other executive officers.
AS an incident of the tragedy. an aged
negro, who was in the mill and near the
scene of the murder at the time. died
last night. 1t is said he never recovered
from the shock, and it caused mis- demise.
Telegrams have been received from
Georgia which make it pretty certain that
Brown, who is confined at Opelousas, is
the notorious Brown who escaped from
Walker county Jail some time ago. He is
guilty Of several murders along the
Georgia and Alabama lines, and rewards
are out for him from both States. Last
spring he had a bloody encounter with
some Federal officials in Walker county.
and was only taken after being severely
wounded. Some time previously the
l6-year-Old daughter of a respectable
farmer had been outraged, and Brown
was identified as the guilty man. Later
he escaped from Jail. with every evidence
of having been assisted by relatives, who
did not wish the nOtOriety of hanging
connected with their name. Many stories
of his exploits are told, so that if the
OpelOusae prisoner is finally identified as
the Georgia desperate he will not likely
escape there.

had one leg cut off and both arms broken.
She is still alive, but can live but short

and the drivers duty required him to
guide his team, see that the fares were
deposited in the box, ,and at the same time
watch for trains at the steam railroad
crossing. The railroad company had no
safety gate at the crossing, although they
had been directed by the city a wear ago
to erect one. The driver had stopped the
car while the north-bOund train passed, but
had not noticed the approach of the train
on the other track. He started the horses,
and, before the passengers had moments
notice, the sOuth-bound train. running at
twenty-five miles an hour, struck the car
on the side, tearing it to splinters and
hurting the passengers, bruised and bleed
ing, into promiscuOus heap. 1t is said
by man who witnessed the accident that
a boy was acting as driver, while the
REGULAR driver was inside the car.

Congressman Muldrow, of MississipI.

pleased with the condition of affairs in
Mississippi.
'We are building more railroads in
Mississippi" he said to your correspon-
dent, sitting in the lobby of the Ebbitt, as
he was about leaving for home, ''we are
building more railroads in Mississippi
this year than in any other State of the
Union. | don't know that ought to say
we either, for it is almost entirely for

horrible tragedy that occurred on Wednes-

her five children and then herself during

In one Of the large ranches. abOut
twenty miles to the southwark of Lampa-

well-to-dO Mexican. named Antonio Val
dez, whose family consisted of wife and
five children, the age of the eldest
of the children being 10 years, and of the
youngest , years. The wife, who was
about 30 years Of age, had been subject to
epileptic fits and spells of melancholy of
long duration. During the past two
months she has exhibited many evidences
of insanity, and when in such mental
alteration invariably sought to do vio-
lence to her little ones. On Wednesday
the afflicted woman was attacked with a
tit of unusual severity. When she had
recovered from the spasm her husband
went to work TO herd a flock of sheen
belonging to the ranch. He had been
gone but a short time when his wife
rose from her couch, and with a huge
butcher knife, which had been carelesslv
left within her reach, commenced her ter
rlble work OF destruction. Her Oldest
child, sweet girl of 10, was the first to
fall victim to her maniac mothers cruel
blows, her head being almost severed
from her body. With that method pecu-
liar to insane persons she in quick sue
cession slew the other children, hacking
and stabbing them in a sickening man
ner, The frantic woman, after the five
bleeding little corpses lay at her feet,
viewed them with grim satisfac-
tion, filling the air with wild and
weird eXclamatiOnS Suddenly taking
parting look at the dead be-
fore her, she plunged the knife
into her own breast, reeled to a corner in
the room and fell dead. During all the
time this fearful tragedy was being en-
acted the serving woman, peon, was
pOwerless to prevent it from abiect fear.
The husband was soon apprised of what
had happened, and his lamentations We're
pitiable in the extreme and he could not
be consoled. In due time the neighbors
came and speedy arrangements were
made to bury the dead. Six graves We're
dug and the next morning the funeral

The Cause of Bald Heads.
London Truth.

note tor bald-headed readers: Ac-
cording to German professor, Herr Rec
lam, premature badness is not necessari-
ly attributable to early dissipation, or
late study, or even constitutional weak
ness. He instances 'the German pro-
fessors, who are nothing if not studiOus.
and are distinguished among all men for
the profusiOn of their locks. On the other
hand, soldiers and cOachmen, cabmen,
etc, who habitually wear heavy helmets
and leather caps. often have heads as
bald as a billiard ball" From this,
the professor argues that badness comes
chiefly of the artificial determination of
blood to the head. and to the heat and per-
spiration, producing relaxed condition
of the scalp and loss of the hair" Sup
posing this theory to be correct, it would
be difficult to invent a head-covering bet
ter calculated to bring about such re-
suits than the hideOus and most uncOm-
Portable chimney pots, or, as the Yankees
call it, polished brain-squeezer," so dear
to the city man and the ''park swell" If
we would retain our natural thatch. the
professor advises us to wear light head
covering, to keep the hair clean and
short, and to scrupulously avoid all mos
trums," which he pronounces worse than
useless.
