Unfortunate Killing
HENRY RATcLIFFE SHOOTS AND KILLS
MONTF0RT ". COCKERILLE.

We are called npon this week to enron.
iclea most deplorable tragedy, which oc
CURED in Alexandria on Monday after
noon at 2:20 o'clock, on Fourth, between
Murray and Johnston streets.
The parties engaged in the difficulty,
and which resulted in the killing of one,
were the Radcliffe Brothers, George and
Henry, on the one side, and the Cooke
rifle Brothers, Montfort and Lee, on the
other.
MOntfort Cockerille was shot in the
small of the back, the whole load from a
shot gun entering that portion of his
body. Tho wound proved a mortal one
Cockerille was taken home, and died just
one hour and forty minutes after he had
been shot. Medical aid had been sum
moned, but all to no avail.
1t is generally known and admitted
that Henry Radcliffe fired the fatal shot.
The difficulty was caused, as we learn,
| from an amount which Lee COckerile was
! indebted to George Radcliffe for key
of beer.
The COckerille Brothers were Oh their
way home at the time, and were met by
the Radcliffe Brothers in the rear of their
mothers residence, where the fight and
killing occurred. In the difficulty which
then and there ensued Lee Cockerlle re-
ceived blows about the head and face,
firom Il stick or cane in the hands of Geo.
Radcliffe. Neither OF the Radcliffe Bro
theirs were hurt.
Both sides give different versions eff the
affair, and the circumstance connected
with it. Before expressing an opinion
one way or the other, we prefer to await
a legal investigation Of the case by the
Courts.
The affidavit sworn ont by Lee Cooke
rifle against the Radcliffe Brothers, char
.ges them with lying in wait, with i'll
tent to kill and murder. The same was
sworn out before Justice Wilmington
a short time before Montfort Cockerille
died. Both the Radcliffe Brothers We're
jailed.
The parties concerned in the difficulty
belong to two of our most respectable
families The Radcliffe Brothe keep a
grocery store; Lee Cockerille has sa-
loon MOntfort Cockcrille has Il small
grocery store.
The preliminary examination into the
case, is, we learn, to take place to-mor
row before Judge Coco, of Avoyelles Par.
isl, Judge Blackman refusing himself.
Coroner Casson held an inquest on the
body the dead man, and the jury re-
turned verdict in accordance with the
facts. The Radcliffe Brothers have en-
gagged Mr. f. g. Hunter to defend them.
Alontfort Cockcrille was buried yester-
day morning at $50 O'Clock. his remains
being inferred in the Pineville Cemetery.
He was born aud raised in Alexandria,
and at the time of his death was about so
years old. The Ratcliites have resided
here for eight or ten years they formerly
lived in Hopkinsvile, KY.
We, in common with our best citizens
here, regret exceedingly the occurrence
of the unfortunate affair.

School.

On last Wednesday and Thursday
evenings, the time appointed for the
CONNER cement exercises at ST. Fran
els Aavier's Catholic School, the large
school rooms were we'll filled With the
parents and guardians of the pupils,
and many others who, on these occa-

The first evening was devoted to
the girls-the performance opening
with a song by Miss Kate Williams.
Next an address was delivered bv
Mr.. 0. N. 0. Watts, the subject being
"What Will Our Future BeY'-which
was spoken in that gentleman's usual
fine style.
Two plays were given by the girls
of the school-"Mary Beatrice and
Her Daughters and "Wealth and
Wisdom both entertaining and we'll
rendered.
"The shipwreck" recitation by
Miss Mary Irving, showed wonderful
taleot on the part of that young lady.
The second evening was for the
boys, and found even a larger crowd
present than on the night previous.
The two pieces -"The aiiser" and
"The Photographic were we'll played,
and highly enjoyed by the audience.
By request Miss Lena Mayre sung
"Erin's Lament"
Miss Vary Irving again delighted
the audience with one of her fine re-
citations.
The address on "Edncation," by
Mr.. Louis J. Hakenyos, was we'll de-
livered and attentively listened to, as
was shown by the profound silence OBJ
served during its delivery.
Next in order came the distribution
of prizes of reward to the children of
the school, IA list of which we publish
elsemhore, which closed the second
successful session of this excellent
institution.
Refreshments were on sale both eve
nings, and the net cash receipts of the
entertainment footed up the snug little

BREAKING GROUND +!
On the Kansas City, Watkins and
Gulf Railway.
A LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC MEET.
ING THE WORK COM
MENCED.

On Monday last posters were dis
tributed throughout the city and sur
rounding country making known to
the public that breaking ground on the
Kansas City, Watkins aud Gulf Rail-
way would occur on Tuesday, June
25th, 1889, at o'clock p m, sonth of
the College building in Lake Charles,
everybody iuviteq, especially the la
dies; aud prominent citizens would
address the meeting. At the appoint
ed hour Yesterday evening the place
designated was almost literally cover
ed with people, numbering one thou
sand or more, in vehicles of almost ev-
cry kind from the unseem,y cart to the
finest family carriage.
A LOOK into the faces of men, wo-
men and children revealed the fact as
to where they came from. Every bus
mess house, newspaper Office and bank
were closed and the men of business
of Lake Charles, and number from
Iowa and Jennings stations and from
the surrounding country had gathered
themselves together for the purpose of
doing honor to what they recognized
as the grandest enterprise that ever
struck Lake Charles or southwest
Louisiana.
At 2 o'clock, in the midst of the
booming of anvils, Hon. Adolph Mey-
er, tue President of the Police Jury,
arose aud suggested the name of Prof.
S. a, Knapp, who was unanimously
chosen as President of the meeting,
and on motion Hon. Adolph Meyer
was elected Secretary. Immediately
thereafter there was placed over the
platform beautiful banner made by
Mrs. Geo. II. Wool,nan and Miss Car
RE Barton, on which were the letters
in guilt: "Welcome X. c., W. & G.
4. r." Prof. Knapp took the stand
and said that in meetings of this ma
ture he believed it should be opened
with prayer, invoking Gods blessing,
and he called OH Rev. r. II. ii. Bur
nett, of Texas, who led in a brief and
appropriate prayer.
Prof. Knapp then arose and in his
usual ever ready aud happy way made
Il short speech, every word of which
seemed freighted with progress to the
country. He pictured, panorama like,
the great praries of southwest Louisi-
ana, lying hidden from the world un-
told ages, bringing it down, centrali.
zing it in Lake Charles, and then
showing clearly the future that would
soon come from the linking of this
great Southern prairie and timber
region with Kansas City, the great dis
trIhuting point of the Northwest. He
said, III substance, that no country
conll build up nuaided, that the great
Northwest was built up by the attrac-
ton of capital from other parts of the
world, and that we now had not only
attracted capital from the North but
from Europe, that we had a port near
rs that lies nearer the center of the
continent, aud to the great Northwest
by many miles than any other aud all
that it lacked of recognition by the
government was for us to show that
there was sufficient business to Justify
an outlay of capital on the part of the
government, aud he now regarded that
question settled in the building of this
Kansas City, Watkins and Gulf Rail
Wy.

Mr.. L. D. Miller, with spade in
sand, and hat uplifted, took the center
of the road bed. and called for three
cheers for the Kansas City, Watkins
and Gulf Railway, which was respond
ed to in no unmistakable terms. A
deafening yell went up amid the wav-
ing and throwing of hats that said to
the world 1--WE are here for work." and
"down with all opposition to an enter
prise of this kind that is calculated to
bring such great good to the country"
Photographer Chalkley was on hand
seated in a wagon with his instantane-
Gus camera, taking in the situation.
Some one remarked that he was the
only man that had backbone enough
to shoot at such determined crowd.
The 25th day Of June, the begin
ming of work on the Kansas CITY,
Watkins and Gulf Railroad, will be a
day long remembered by the people of
Lake Charles. May the day hasten
when we shall meet again in greater
numbers to tap the silver spike that
shall say to the world lit is finished"
