On Wednesday of this week the
Sheriff's Office was notified of
a shooting affair which had
just taken place on the farm OF
VIM. Dawson in this parish, "a few
miles from town.
As we gather the facts 1T seems
that Mr.. Davidson had a negro
employed on his place by the
name of David Lando, who had
failed to perform the duties as
signed him. When repremanded
for his neglect he became abusive
and struck Mr.. Davidson with his
hoe.
This act of violence on the part
Of the negro thoroughly angeIed
Mr.. Davidson, who went to his re
sidence for his gun. LandO made
for the barn just as re was
ABOUT to enter the building Mr.
Davidson opened fire on him,
effecting slight wound. The
negro, who it seems was armed
promptly returned fire, without
effect. He then took refuge il
the barn The building was sur
rounded and Lando finding escape
impossible surrendered. He wa!
turned over to the officers an(
was finally lodged in jail here.
