Capt. J. A. Cannon, who was m

man, were arrested by Sheriff
Broussard at Lafayette on last Fri.
day for the crime of the assault upon
station agent Connel at Iowa station
the fore part Of last week and for
the robbery of the station. Mrs.
Connel positively recognized King
as the negro who was most promi
nent in committing the crime, and
the cash found On the two negroes,
SIC, corresponded exactly with the
amount stolen from the Office.
Sheriff Reed, Of Lake Charles, took
the prisoners TO that place on Satur.
day, where they are nov in Jail.
We understand that King has made
a clean breast of the whole affair in
which he duplicates the other negro
