Two young men passed through
Colfax yesterday morning and told a
curious story. One of them gives
the name of G. w. Richardson, and
says he lives near Harrisonbure.
Catalonia parish, and the other. r..
H. Whatley, and gives his residence
as near White Sulphur Springs. same
parish. The latter also claims to be
a cousin OF Rev. S. H. Whatley.
They say that q man going by the
name of Frank Wilson, and claiming
to be in search of two conyicts that
had escaped from Col. James gang
hired them to go with him to catch
them, offering to pay them S. q day
for their services and horse for
himself They went with him into
the eastern portion OF Grant parish,
then into VIM, near WINFIELD, aud
then to Red river near st. Maurice,
from whence they came down the riy-
er to Colfax. Thursday night they
stopped at Narcisse Fredieu's. and
yesterday morning Wilson appropri-
ated Mr.. Fredieus skiff aud crossed
the river. leaving the young men in
the lurch and not paying them a
cent. The young men say Wilson's
actions were suspicious, as he seemed
DESTROYS of avoiding all towns.
They describe Wilson as a dar k
complexioned man. with short black
hair and small black goatee on his
chin. Both Of his wrists are tattooed
around with India ink. and be has
pictures on one (perhaps both) OF
his arms. He drank good deal on
the trip. and at one time got drunk
and told his companions confidential
~ that he was Buffalo Bill and o bad
man generally.
Wilson evidently played the young
men for ''greenys." and presented
each of them with . round brass
check Of the "R. Wiseman House. B.
R.. La, the word house being stamp
ed in crescent. and telling them the
checks were good for the money due
them. One check was numbered 36.
the other 81. He protested to have
used up all his money on the trip.
and borrowed wherever he could.
He is armed with a revolver.

A MODEST CLAIM

The bill to pay Professor
Friend $500 for his services in
furnishing the State with
meteorological reports is as
modest a claim and as just
as was ever presented to Leg
islature. It is at the rate OF Sl2
a month for the time he has
worked. Recently a resolution
was adopted in the Senate that
the clock of the Chamber Should
be regulated by Friends time,
which is corrected every day
from astronomical observations.
It seems an insult to science
that a man should labor so hard
and industriously for the State
and provide most Of his own i'll
struments and then have a
claim of only $500 for every two
wears, service snubbed in the
Senate as it was yesterday. 1t
is to be hoped that the motion
to reconsider will prevail.

SHxArOR HO b A RT'S QUES-
rrOy or PRIVILEGE

Yesterday there was an AMI
mated scene in the House
which for a time threatened to
assume a serious aspect. Sen
ator Hobart rose to a question OIL
privilege and demanded to kno"
if Senator Smyth had used the
language imputed to HIM in a
newspaper report of the discus
sion on the Srlyth anti-railroad
bill. It is not necessary to re
count the scene, which is fully
chronicled in the local columns
of this journal. Senator Hobart
was made to appear as having
been accused openly upon the
floor of the Senate of having
sold his vote for coin and the In
ference left that he had allowed
this accusation to go by without
notice, That no such charge
was ever made by Smyth III the
debate is certain from the fact
that Senators in his immediate
vicinity, who would have been
quick to call him to tim" had
such language been used, all
agree that no such remark was
made or anything that could
have been so construed. When
Mr.. Hobart rose to his question
of privilege Mr.. Smyth evident
" mistook his language as haV-
ing a threatening aspect ami al
once assumed the defensive,
saying that he did not propose
to be held responsible for news
paper reports, evidently labor
ing under the mistaken idea tina
denial would have be taken a:
an imputation upon his courage
When he finally understood the
matter he denied having made
the remark and called for al
apology from Mr.. Hobart, "hlci
was Immediately given, as Mr.
Hobart's language relative t
Mr.. Smyth in branding th'
statement as false and malicious
was made upon the assumption
and with the proviso, that TIT
charge had been made as report
ed in the paper. Matters "ef
then amicably adjusted ant
upon a gentlemanly basis. Th
resolution then offered eXpellin
the offending paper from IN
inside of the bar might nav
been necessary in resenting tn
insult to the Senate, its men
bers and its p,esiding officer, bu
. at the same time it gives effici;
recognition to a paper which
clearly unworthy any cognizanc
from gentlemen, As the matte
now stands neither Senate
Snyth nor Senator Hoba
should take any further motto
