Tne YKestlnlse TRAGEDY.

During several days Lake Charles has
been stirred about the Perkins homicide.
Mr.. Perkins belongs to large and in
fiuen:ial family, leaves a wife and daugh-
ter. His father owns a large milling
and commercial interest in Westlake,
and we presume he owns at least one.
half of the town of Westlake. He also
has large real estate interest in the city
of Lake Charles and Calcasieu parish.
Mr.. Black is a young man, crack
shot and bearing the reputation Of be-
ing both dangerous and desperate.
Soon after the report Of the kill
ing, a number of the mill men and
others started in hot pursuit with Che
cry of catch the murderer, dead or alive.
OF course considerable excitement was
manifest among them, as usual the FIRST
report is that it was murder. Whether
murder, iustifiable homicide or man
slaughter, we leave TO the court and
jury at the proper lime to determine.
Occasionally reports Of the capture of
the fugitive, with others of what would
be done If he should be caught, kept the
town on the quiviye. Our sheriff, d. J.
Reid, who rarely fails TO catch his man,
quietly disappeared in pursuit, and
eventually he will safely lodge Mr.. B.
in Jail for trial
But we are not inclined to believe all
the wild reports of what the mob would
do if he were caught. The Perkins
family are not only numerous and in
huential but law-abiding people. They
will not now countenanee Lynch law to
avenge the death of q member of their
family when they have uniformly con-
demned it heretofore. Those who in
hot pursuit spoke hastily, and unadyis-
eddy, of what they would do, would not
after the first excitement was over, think
of doing anything more than arrest him
and turn him over to the authorities.
Let law reign supreme. Let the fng-
tive be arrested, but do him no unnec-
essary personal violence. Let him be
heard in a court of justice. Citizens Of
Calcasieu, your hands have long been
unstained by the atrocities Of Lynch
proceedings. Your criminal laws have
been rigidly enforced. Beware, now,
of any step which may breed regulators
in our midst to the subVersion of law.
