SHOT BY HIS UNCLE.

Tuesday evening an attempt al
murder was committed by More.
mas Dugas, upon his nephew, Mr.
Mscenas Dugas, by shooting two
loads of buckshOt unto his body.
The wounded man has received
seven shots, all dangerous two
being considered very serious and
which may cause his death.
The particulars which were re-
peated by several persons are
about as follows: The parties con-
cerned in this shooting were
neighbors and were on bad terms,
Morenas, who is considered bad
man, bulldozer, wanted a pass
age through the plantation of his
nephew to haul his coming crop
of cane to the derrick which is To-
Gated on the place next to Mace
mas, the wounded man. Morenas
called upon Macenas and told him
that he wanted that right of way,
and wanted it in writing, and if
this was not given him, Macenas
would have to pass to the public
road with his gun to meet him, to
which Macenas answered he would
meet him there, he went to his
house to get his gun which was
loaded with birdshot, and when
he got to his gate, Morenas was
hidden behind a tree near the
gate, and as soon as Macenas pla-
ced his hands upon the gate to
open he was shot twice, while yet
in his field.
This affair occurred in Iberia
parish just near the limit of st.
Martin parish, and we learned
that Morenas Dugas, who has sur
rendered to the authorities of that
parish, is now in Jail awaiting the
result of the wounds of his nephew.
Macenas Dugas is the son of d.
Dugas, who is we'll known here.
