We quote the following extracts from
the Marksyille Bulletin and State Cen
trail Express as regards the action of
Sheriff Duson in the pursuit and cap
ture Of Brown and the killing of Lane,
the Nicely murderer:
"Sheriff Duson acted with great bra
very and GOODNESS in this adventure and
fully sustained his well earned reputa-
ton OF being sheriff without supe-
ror and few equals, it any. Deputies
Hayes and Mckinney are. fearless and
determined young men and worthy as
sistants of a worthy chief. Mr.. Duson
spoke Of Mr.. Rylanl's bravery and was
greatly assisted by him.
Sheriff Dnson cannot be spoken of in
too eulogistic terms, and the people of
st. Landry should keep him in office
for a long time to come. Such an Off
Ger is an honor to the age and country
that gave him birth. n-Marksville Bull
letin.
"Sheriff C. C. Dnson, Sheriff of St.
Landry parish, has in numerous in
stances shown himself to be one of the
most efficient officers that this State, or
any other. can boast OF, and is now re-
cognized as having no superior in all
those qualities that fit men to hold the
responsible position of sheriff. The
pursuit of Lane, who murdered Mr..
Neely on the Payne plantation, st. Lam
dry parish, on the 26th ult., and his
companion, Brown, who panied
Lane in his flight, is perhaps the most
remarkable instance i'll the career OF Mr..
Duson. in which his TACT. skill, and
courage was put to the seyerest test.
y &.
The citizens of st. Landry parish
have testified their appreciation OF Sher-
if Duson by resolutions adopted by
meetings in various parts of the parish.
It affords us pleasure to add our en-,
dorsemento of an officer SO worthy and
efficient to that OF his fellow parishon-
ers, and to congratulate our neighbors
of St. Landry in the reputation
achieved by c. G. Duson. State Cen

The Garland plantation on the west
side of town, to be sold at public auction
on November 10Th, as will be seen from
the advertisement in this paper, con-
tains over seven hundred acres of land,
and is subdivided into town lots and
small tracts. All this land lies north OF
the lane running west from town.
In the subdivision, the street running
in front of DIR. Boagni's residence, has
been continued through the plantation,
and all the land between this street,
and the lane just mentioned, as far west
as Paul Richards grocery, has been di-
vided into about eighty iowa lots, with
streets intervening !; and the rest of the
land westward has been divided into
tracts of twenty and twenty-five acres,
and each tract has two outlets, having a
road or street on both the northern and
southern limits. All the land lying
north of the street or road laid out
through the middle of the plantation, is
also divided into small tracts, fronting
on said road, except that the Garland
residence includes one hundred acres.
A plat of these lots and tracts of land
is ON file in the Recorders office.
Many of these tracts have cabins on
them. Here is an excellent opportu-
tunity for persons of limited means to
get a small farm. For terms of sale,
see the advertisement.
