The celebrated Sam Polk who has fig
ured so prominent before our criminal
courts for the last few months, charged
of several regulating crimes, one Of
which was the atrocious murder of the
woman near Breaux Bridge sometime
ago and several less important cases, was
tried here last Saturday together with
Didier IIollcr ana Alcec Thibodeau for
whipping negro in September last.
Polk was convicted and sentenced to
three months in the parish prison. and
$50 fine. His other accompliccs were
discharged. Polk seem to think three
months Imprisonment for regulating a
negro is terrible punishment.

Assaulted and Robbed by
Masked Men.

The following is Plaquemine special
to the Picdyune, dated Sept. 22nd.:
Friday evening Mr.. Sentelle one Of
the owners, of the Forest Home Planta-
ton on BayOy; GOula, and lately the pro-
perty Of Thomas d. Miller, went out to
Bayou Goula TO get money to pay off
some of his hands. When returning he
was set upon by five masked men, who
had secreted themselves in the cane
about two acres from the Forest Home
gate They shot him az they thought to
death and slole S135. They left si5 and
this because they were afraid of being
caught, and hurried away.
This deed was committed between 4
and ) o'clock in broad day light. Mr.
Sentelle's wounds are dangerous, but not
necessarily fatal, and it is believed that
he will recover.
The neighbOThOOd of the deed Is cOnsi-
derably stirred UP, for 1t was only two
months since white peddler was mur-
dered for money within few miles OF
the place of the above deed and if the
culprits are caught it is believed that
quick justice will be meted out to them"

purpose of robbery. Three Of the cul.

girl living on Forest Home plantation
who saw the shooting Of Mr.. Sentell. She
has revealed their names. They are ne
groes living on Bayou GOula and have
been missing ever since. A large re.
ward has been offered for their capture.

Last night a negro named "Dink" Bachelor
burglarized the residence of the Rev. 7. j..
Hutchinson, on Olive street, in the absence of
the family, and secured $3.50 in cash. He was
seen by some boys playing near the place
and among them was Judge Noonans son
who went home and told bis father what had
occurred, and at the same time gave u de-
scrption of the burglar. Judge NOOnan soon
afterwards telephoned the police of the rob-

Important improvements.

Among the enterprising business men
OF Philadelphia with whom it is at any
time a pleasure to deal is thatwholeheart-
ed and deservedly popular gentleman,
Mr.. John Griffith. We took occasion to
drop in at his place OF business, No. 100
North Second street, during his opening
OF new and handsome furniture on Tues
day last, and the display was truly capti-
waiting. The entire stock was new and
variety apparently endless, all Of the la
test styles and patterns; there is absolute
ly no old stock. His display of chamber
and parlor suits, lounges, marble top ta'
bles, mattresses, bedding, upholstery ETC.,
is marvellous. Twice during the past few
years Mr.. Griffith has been induced by
his rapidly growing business to enlarge
his facilities.
Mr.. Griffith has further improved and
made the building almost entirely new,
with new front, etc. Strangers are well
come and made to feel at home, as Mr.,
Griffith takespleasurein showing his stock
whether visitors buy or not. He has
marked his prices full 10 to 80 per cent
lower than the the same quality of goods
can be bought elsewhere. His expenses
are less and he therefore puts his goods
out at less cost than others. He is also
sole agent for "The Standard" Folding
Bed. Call on him.
