New ORLEANS, LA, Aug. ga dis
patch from Franklinton. La, says: Capt.
Eugene Buach, train robber, while resist
ing arrest, was killed by detectives near
this place yesterday morning. Col Hop
good, who was with Bunch, surrendered
without firing shot. Bunch began the
firing as soon as he saw the officers but
none of them were hit, being protected By a
fence. Bunch's body was riddled with
bullets, all of the posse having fired on him
at once. Bunch was fully identified by
Col and Bob Hopgood. Col HopRood was
taken TO Amite City and jailed"
Bunch was killed by posse consisting of
Detectives jackson, c. o. Summers Of the
Southern Express Company and Dave Mar
tin and John jackson of Abingdon, Miss,
and Monroe McElvern of Tangipahoa par
ISL. They received authentic information
that Bunch and Hopgood we're making for
Pearl river swamp. They came on two
men in the swamp.
BUNCH REPLIES WITH SHOT.
To Detective Jackson's summons for
hands up" Hopgood obeyed, but Bunch's
answer was a shot. Then the entire posse
fired and the notorious outlaw fell bleeding
20 the ground. He fired two more shots
aud then rolled over dead None of the
posse were hit. Hopgood, who stood near
by during the fight was secured and his
arms bound. Bunch began life as a school
teacher. His first exploit was the robbery
OF train on the Northeastern railway. A
price was set on bis head, but all efforts
10 arrest him at that time failed. 1t was
believed Bunch had fed to Texag, and this
belief was borne out by the fact that a
Southern Pacif; train was held up in
Texas, and from the methods used by the
robber he was believed to be Bunch.
IN FLORIDA AND GEORGIA.
The next heard OF the bandit was In Flor
ida, where he relieved a passenger train of
a considerable sum Of money. Bunch then
operated in Georgia for while, and finally
returned to his native country. He was
seen in the neighborhood OF mis- home, and
shortly after that the robbery OF an Illinois
Central train at Newsom's switch occurred.
This was his last robbery. The arrest of
Hopgood aud the killing of Bunch breaks
up the gang. There has been a standing
reward of several thousand dollars for the
capture Of the desperate.

month discussing the question as to whether
the county commissioners would be re-
moved or not The ants made numerous
trips to Tallahassee to see Gov. Fleming and
heseeched him TO remove the commissioners
in order that inspectors Of elections might
be appointed to suit their side. The gov
ernor took the matter under advisement
and has been considering it for two weeks.
He is now relieved Of a very Rrduous task
as the two Duvsl factions will settle the
question among themselves. On Saturday
a conference OF "straightout" and "anti"
leaders was held and proposition was
made contemplating concessions on both
sides, which, if accepted, will guar
antee an absolutely fair election
and beyond the possibility of producing
grounds for complaint from either side.
In a nutshell, the "straightouts" proposed
that the "antis" give them access to the reg
tstration books and agree not to qualify
negro votes, in return for which the straight
outs will give the sutis one Of the election
inspectors at each polling place in the
county. The ants have practically ac-
cepted, and more amity in Duval politics Is
now assured
The congressional committee of the Sec
ond district organized to-day. j. F. Baya

railroads. also actual ownership and pos
session Of securities which are being
irreparably injured by the commits

should and would but for said coercion, and
also that the companies are not earning In
terest on their bonds and cannot stand the
