George Peters, of 10l Even street, who
was slightly bruised about the body, said:
Everybody had gone on board both
barge and steamer and they were just pre-
pairing to cut off the hawsers when a cy-
clone struck the barge and threw it over
to one side They had just pulled down
the canvas on one side to protect those on
board from the rain which was com
mencing TO fall, when fearful gust of
wind lifted the roof off and carried it, with
the pilot house and everything else, over
against the side nearest the dock. A num-
Der of people were crushed between the
edge of the roof, which dropped down when
the supports broke, and think most Of
those that were killed had their lives
crushed out in that way.n

doubt il there is a more perfect one in any

the additions made by Mr.. Mcknight are
correct and minute in every particlar. 1t
shows all creeks, bayous and lakes, cor

ship and section lines, and has the diff

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1891-03-28

Leon Langley, Frenchman liv-
ing several miles north of Colfax,
mysteriously disappeared on last
Sunday morning. He had learned
that there was a letter for him in
Villas postofice, and, believing it
to be from his son in Avoyelles
parish, he started to Villas to get it,
but never arrived at the postofice.
His wife, to whom he had been
married only three weeks, got the
letter, and on opening it found it
to be from the son, as her husband
had surmised. Nothing has been
heard from Langley since leaving
his home Sunday morning, and SO
far his disappearance is a complete
mystery. Any information as to
his whereabouts will be greatly
appreciated.
