SATURDAY, August l9. 1899.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
HORRIBLE MURDER.

A most horrible and ferocious
murder was committed Wednes-
day morning, at Olivier Station,
Iberia parish, upon the person of
Mr.. Martial Sorrel, the oldest son
of Mr.. Aruns Sorrel, formerly from
st. Martinville.
The object of the murder was
apparently robbery, as the cash of
the counter had disappeared as
we'll as the watch and revolver of
the murdered man.
Mr.. Sorrel slept in room back
of his store, alone, and the MUIR
derers must have been aware of
this fact. An entrance to the store
was made through the front win
dow, and Mr.. Sorrel, from all in
dications, must have been assault
ted in his bel, as he was found
dead upon his bed. He was struck
upon the head with a blunt instru-
ment, and besides received nine
stabs from knife or dagger, up
on the face, neck and breast.
So far, there is little clue as to
who the murderers are, unless the
officers of the law keep it a secret.
