by the acts of the police jury it is un-

there ought to be q law to prohibit peo-
pie from letting wire lie around loose

There must be plenty of it living on The

him A. B. Cook, who was shot a

to make him comfortable. The
wound inflicted by Strong is with
in two inches of buckshot wound
made by Teddlie, three weeks ago.

Pollock. In both cases, Cook, who
is somewhat of an outlaw and dare
devil, took the chances and was
shot by the officers while running
away from them to avoid arrest.
he is wanted in Grant on a charge
of larceny, and also we learn it is
likely he will have to answer sew
