A Family Fight in Louisians-Nine Men
Killed.
In Livingston Parish La, Bob Morrison,
a brother in-law of Kirbys, was found
dead in the woods near where the affray
took place Sunday between the Lanier
Kirby parties. In tho first statement it
was reported that not only two Laniers
were killed, but the coroner found the
body of Bill Kirby in the woods where the
Kirby's made the attack, showing that
the Laniers had resisted them. The sup.
position is that Morrison was wounded at
Hog Branch and died while endeavoriug
to get home Samuel Lanier, aged Is, has
not been heard from, and is supposed to
have been shot in the fight and also died
in the woods. This is family feud which
has already caused the death of nine men

family, with one brother in law remaining
of one faction, and one Morrison and two
of the Kirby faction.

The Guard at tho Brlsis.r legation
The sensation of the military to guard
the residence of the British minister at
, Washington, on tho night Brady was
hanged is supplemented by the arrest OF
| an Irish vagabond while attempting to
| force his way into the British quarters.
While the man himself proves to be a
harmless luuatic the arrest develops the
fact that guard Of police and detectives
| is on the watch at the legation. The affair
so far is confirmatory of former reports
concerning the extraordinary precaut;on-
ary measures against possible violence.
The district. authorities affect to make
light of the whole subject, but notwith
standing their equivocation aud denials,
it is ascertained that police IN uniform
and in citizens clothes are now standing
guard nightly over her British majesty s
representatives. An under secretary OF
the legation says if the guard is there it is
not at Minister Vests request. The dis
tict authorities are mysterious and the
general public is growing daily more in .
terested and apprehensive. Tho fact of
the arrest was kept quiet for twenty four
hours.
