killing of sheriff Alfred Lout
of Sabine.
Natchitochess Vindicator.

Last Sunday morning DR.. J. Ii. Word,
OF MANY. was brought to this city in
charge of Deputy Sheriff Yandegar, and
two citizens, and incarcerated in the
parish Jail, charged with shooting and
killing Alfred Lout, Sheriff of Sabine
parish. The news OF the occurrence
spread like wild-fre through the streets
and in few moments the vicinity OF
the Court House was thronged with an
eager as we'll as deeply affected crowd
Of citizens, enquiring the particulars of
this terrible tragedy.
Without v0uching for the correctness
Of the facts, as this reporter heard them
narrated by one OF the posse who
brought DR.. Word to this city, they are
given in absence OF other testimony.
It seems that difficulty had occurred
Saturday afternoon between Mr.. j. w.
Clingman, of the Homer Nursery, and
Mr.. Mains, in which the latter was Sc
verely bruised and stamped by the for
mer. This affray created much bad
feeling against Clingman, who was sub
sequently arrested by Sheriff Lout, who
was notified not to bring Ciingman into
the town, but get an appearance bond
signed for him. When Sheriff Lout
rode into the place, Dr.. Word enquired
his bond Mr.. EdmonsoD, standing
near, jocularly remarked that lie had
signed the bond. Hot words then en-
sued between Mr.. Lont and DIR. Word,
the sheriff threatening to arrest him, fl
naIIy eliminating in both parties draw
ing weapons. Mr.. Edmonson aud Mr..
Louis Davis, attempted to prevent the
elimination of the trouble, the latter
having hold of Sheriff L0ut, and the
former attempting to restrain DR..
Word. DR.. Word reached over Mr..
Davis, holding Sheriff Lout, and shot
the sheriff through the heart and in-
stantly killing him. Mr.. Davis was
wounded accidently by q second shot.
Both Mr.. Lout aud DR.. Word, We're
known lis fearless and determined men.
Such is condensed amount of this
lamentable and deplorable occurrence
as was stated on the street, and no par
ticulars have been ascertained from any
other source. Comment is refrained
from.
The news of Sheriff A. Louis death
startled and mortified this community.
He was a man greatly beloved and
and highly respected by every one who
knew him. He bore the character of
being determined and efficient of
ficer, utterly fearless in the discharge of
his duties. Few parishes in the State
could boast of more efficient execu-
tive officer, and his death will de an al
most irreparable loss to our sister par
isl. whose people have manifested
their confidence in his ability and bra
very, by repeatedly elevating him to
the Office which lie occupied at the time
Of his untimeiy death.
Expressions of sorrow and regret
ee heh ana t a.seiea with
gard felt for sheriff Lout by those who
were his personal friends.

RAILROAD SUIT
WASHINGTON, April n.--Argument was
commenced in the Supreme Court to-day in
the important case Cf the Illinois Central

that the railroad company charged him Il
higher rate on quantity OF salt shipped
from Chicago to Tucson Than then fixed by
the Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners
sppCIu!ed under the act above mentioned
The company admits Tue alleged overcharge,
but maintains that the comm issioners have

ty is unconstitutional and void, for the rea-
