A Family Feud.
JEFF HUNT KILLED NEAR LENA
AND C. c. STEWART AT HEMPHILL.
CLAUDE STEWART WOUNDED.

Since our last issue two killings
have occurred in this Parish, wiz
JEFF Hunt, near Lena, and G. G.
Stewart, at Hemphill
News of the first killing was re-
ceived here on the 22d by steamer
Garland, a note unsigned being sent
to Sheriff Stafford, as follows:
"At White & Hatten's mill Jeff
Hunt was killed and one Stewart bad
ly wounded. jim johnson, John Es-
tess and John Bolden are supposed to
have done the killing" White &
Hatten's mill is about three miles from
Lena, on the Texas & Pacific Rail-
road, in this parish. The killing oc-
Cured about six o'clock in the morn
ing. The jim johnson mentioned is
the father of young johnson, who
was killed in the charivari party at
Hemphill, in this parish, on April rs,
full particulars of which were pub
lished in this paper. Stewart who is
reported wounded, is tho party who
was recently brought here and jailed,
and subsequently bailed, charged with
the killing Of young Johnson at Hemp
hill.
Sheriff Stafford went to arrest these
parties, and returned the day after
wards. He has deputies on the look
out for the men. He brought the
news of the second killing, viz; at
Hemphill, a few hours after the Lena
tragedy, when old man G. G. Stewart
was killed by John Bolden.
From the facts learned both killings
were preme'lisated. johnson and
Bolden had shot guns and rifles. Old
man Johnson when he went to White
& Hatten's mill carried his little boys
hat, and said that it had a bullet hole
through it and a portion of his brains
were on tue inside, He is also repor-
ted as saying that he would make il
warm for all who had a hand in the
killing of bis boy.
When last heard from Claude Stew
art who was wounded at the mill, wa
still alive at Colfax. Quite an ex
element is raging in the neighbor
hoods where the killings occurred.
The remains of Hunt were taken tt
Colfax and buried.
The attacked party in both instan
ces cited above were unarmed.

The Insane Asylum.

Dr.. L. G.. Perkins, connected with
tho Insane Asylum at Jackson, La,
was in Alexandria last week TO confer
with the Board of Directors of the
Charity Hospital here, and to see the
building and grounds, with a view to
the proposed establishment Of a branch
asylum at this place.
The members of the Board of Di-
rectors and our leading citizens do not
favor the conversion of the Hospital
into an Insane Asylum, but they do
favor it's conversion into a Female
College. 1t is admirably suitable for
a college; but is not at all adapted
to the purposes of an Asylum, for the
reason that it is entirely too small,
aud is a wood building. The grounds
are not large enough either for an
Asylum, and the land contiguous is
very high priced, as it is located in a
desirable residence portion of our city.
We are also opposed to having the
University grounds appropriated to
that purpose, for we still hope to have
the State University restored to its
proper legal domicile, where it can
again be made successful and prosper
GUS, and constitute a source of pride
and benefit to the entire State, as it
was before its removal to Baton RDnge.
We would, however, most cheer
fully favor a proposition to establish,
independently and separately an In.
sane Asylum, with so or a hundred
acres of land attached, at some II OF
those beautiful pine hill springs, on
the opposite side of Red river in the
vicinity of Pineville. THUS land over
there is very cheap, and the location
healthful as we'll as beautiful.
