KILLING
At Gueydan Last Friday
Afternoon
V w Williams Shoots and Kills >
G Tyree.


J. Gueydan was the scene Of a homicide
last week.
j C Tyree, q carpenter, aged so. was
shot and killed last Friday afternoon at
2:l5 o'clock by AZ w Williams, a saloon
keeper. The tragedy occurred in front ot
Williams saloon. -Four shots were fired,
all of which took effect.
Williams was seated on the steps of his
place OF business when Tyree crossed the
street. When within u few feet of Will
hams, Tyree attempted to draw his reVol-
yer. Before he could get the weapon out
OF his pUckets Williams shot him down.
The wounaed man expired in a few minu-
Williams surrendered to a Deputy
Sheriff. In answer to q query, he
said:
Il did the shooting in. self-defense.
Three times Mr. Pyree entered nv saloon
BhE morning and once exhibited his re-
votver."
Tyree was under the influence of liauor
at the timeof the shooting.
Williams has many friends IN this vici-
nifty and belongs to several f~raternal
orders.
The news reached Abbevifle a few min
ntes after the occurrence, aud Sheriff He
bert and Coroner, Dr G j Edwards, left by
team for she scene. Arriving ut Gueydan,
they found Williams nader arrest and in
charge of Deputy Sheriff Archie NJ Rose.
Ehe body OF Tyree was ill DR. H Bascomb
Whites office, where he had been convey
ed just before he expired. Henry l.
Gueydan; J E Fortier, J L Theriot, s A
Pipes and F NJ Wigen were empanneled as
q jury OF inquest and % Number of wit
nesses were examined. The evidence all
tended to show that the deceased was the
aggres s0r and had advanced upon Will
liams. Tyree received four wounds, two
IN the right arm and two in the right
chest below the nipple, the balls coming
out on the opposite side. His remains
were ennbalmed and shipped to his former
home, Augusta, Arkansas, for interment.
Saturday morning Sheriff Hebert
brought Williams to this place and lodged
him in iail Oh a charge Of ma~nslaughter.
Walter Is Gordy, his attorney. made appli-
cation for bail, and Judge Gordy, after
reviewing the evidence given before the
JHfY Of Inquest, fixed tho bail at $3.50
which was promptly furnished.
While this is truly ALI unfortunate affair
Il which reflects upon the reputa-
sion Of the parish for peace and quiet and
love OF law and order, we believe in the
lace of all facts as yet known, that it was
a case of jastitiable homicide.

DISTRESSING DISEASTER
CAUSED BY BROKEN COUPLING.

JAMESTOWN, N. T., April ga
coupling broke on a westbound
freight train on the Erie road at Red
House at o'clock this morning, just
as the train was leaving the main
track to take siding for the east
bound New York and Chicago limited
express to pass. The delay occasion
ed by the mishap was the cause of a
fatal accident of a most distressing
nature. Almost Immediately after the
freight train broke in two the passen-
ger train came along at the rate of
fifty miles an hour The passenger
engine, a combination baggage and
passenger car, DAY coach ana two
sleepers left the track running nearly
100 feet beside the rails crashing into
a. small school house which was COM
pletely demolished. The wreck caught
fire Immediately and all of the cars
which left the track were quickly
recovered. After the fire five bodies
were taken from the burned cars.
Three of them are those Of two wo-
men and a child who are said to have
boarded the train at Youngstown,
Ohio. bound for Olean. They were
burned so badly that it was almost
impossible to identify them. The

it. They took counsel of competent
attorneys upon the subject, with the
result that they finally abandoned this
site entirely and, as all know, erected
the building elsewhere. Ii the park
could not be taken for public school
building, it is not easy to see how it
can be used for a public library build
ing. The difference between the two
is so slight that the same principle
would seem to control as to both.
Should all the citizens acquiesce in
the use of the park for this purpose,
this obstacle would, of course, be re-
moved but inasmuch as dissatisfac-
ton respecting such use prevails and
litigation is threatened, it hehooves
us to take this into account in our
reckoning and at the outset decide
whether we are ready to enter upon a
long legal controversy over the SUBJ
ject, with loss of time and money and
quite likely loss of the library, through
the donation being withdrawn, not to
mention the i'll feeling and bitterness
between our citizens, which such
controversy would surely engender.
The writer makes this statement of
facts in reference to the library that
the city council and the people in gen
eral may see the Importance of right
action concerning it's location. We are
fully convinced that if the interests of
the entire community are harmOnized,
as they may be, this institution will
not only be assured of success at the
outset, but may be made credit to
the city. On the other hand, if the
interests of one portion of the COM
munity are antagonized and opposi-
ton from that section encountered,
then failure may be looked upon as in
evitable The writer is in favor of one
town and believes that the time has
come when the petty jealousies and
chickering's between the east and west
side that have hitherto been indulged
in by few should be done away with.
and that all should work together for
a Greater Las Vegas. We know that
the business interests of all demands
this, and that unless this strife does
ceasse others will be closing Their
stores and moving away. Fair deal
ing and justice to all wins friends and
builds up the business of those who
promote it, while wrong doing and
unfair treatment OF one side by the
other only Injuries the side guilty of
1t and drives from 1t the business that
otherwise might go there. 1t is in
this spirit that we ask the people to
