A Timely Warning.

We make the following extract from
the General Report of the Grand Jury
fled in the District Court this week
"Our attention has been called to the
water tank or tower now 10 course OF
erection upon tho Court House square.
We have been reliably informed by
persons who profess to know, that
the foundation now being laid 10 OF such
inferior material as to make its erec-
ton q menace to the public buildings
which surround it on all sides"
The above ia official in character, and
10 a timely warning. Not only would
the public buildings be in danger, but
if tank containing seventy-five thou
sand gallons OF water would fall from
an elevation of one hundred feet this
torrent would tear everything in its way,
and would be Obstructive not only to
property but would endanRer human
life. We are informed that there is a
construction committee with the Mayor
as chairman, whose business it ia to
watch this work, and we take it that
they will do their duty, but if, percliance.
they should fail to remedy this evil, then
we think that the Police Jury should ap-
ply to the court for writ of Injunction
in the premises.

The Vidrine- -Prud'homme TRAGEDY,

Octave P. Vidrine surrendered to the
Sheriff here Monday morning, having
been charged with killing one son of
Angelas Prud'homme and seriously
Wounding another on last Sunday. The
facts leading up to this deplorable at
fair, as related by Vidrine, are as fol.
lows:
The Prud'hommes had Il difficulty
with a young son of Vidrine's about
some geese, apd followed him into the
house and called him ont to fight, ours
ing hidl and his mother for some time.
Young Vidrine refused to come out,
whereupon the Prud'hommes threat
ened to come into the house and take
him out At this time Octave Vidrne,
the father, appeared on the scene and
commanded the Prud'bomme boys not
to come into his yard, and if they ,dia
so, it would be at their peril. They dis
mounted from their horses ands pro-
ceeded to climb over the yard fence
when Vidrine opened fire on them with
a double -barreled shotgun. The 9TH
ers returned the fire with their pistols.
The result of Vidrine's fire is that one
OF the Prud'homme is dead and the
other is dangerously wounded. vi
drlne secured bail soon after his sur
render. He is considered peaceable
and industrious man, and at this writ
ing public opinion appears to be in his
favor.
THE OTHER SIDE.
A representative of the COURIER in
terviewed Sidney Laheur on Tuesday,
br0therinlaw of the men who were
sh OF by Vidrine. Laf1eur says that the
trouble started between himself and
young Vidrine about some geese which
belonged to Laf1eur. He asked if the
the geese were at Vidrine's, and young
v, told him no. Mrs. Y. appeared and
asked l.. it he thought they would steal
know about that. a'eSe Octave vidrne i'd e sub. nSe
sequentIy met Lafeur and told him he
would have to settle with him for in
sulting his wife, and L. told him all
right, and they were to meet few
minutes later. The two Prud'homme
boys accompanied Lafeur, and met oc-
tave Vidrine and his son in the public
road about 12 acres from Vidrine's
house. A quarrel then started between
l.. and the Vidrine's about the geese,
and then Octave VidriDe accused one
of the Prud'homme boys of having
beaten his son few days before.
denied this and words
followed. P. told V. to put his gun
down and he would fight him. This he
refused to do, and dared z. to put his
hands in his pocket AS he did go, VI
drine shot hin, dead, and then shot his
brother, and turning to his son told him
to shoot Laflenr. Neither of the Prnd'-
hOmmes were armed, and the one who
was shot by Vidrine's second load de-
clares that he did not say Il word to the
Vidrines and was shot for nothing. He
ia now in dying condition. He is 81
years OF age: his dead brother is %.
The father of the Prud 'hommes, Ange-
las Prud'homme, is respectable, fine
looking man, and is greatly distressed
about the affair.
