The Kiliins of Taylor Weldon.
On last Friday morning sheri

Swords, accompanied by Mr.
Elisha Fisher and Deputy-Sherif f
Ike Stagg, started out in pursuit oil
Taylor Weldon, who was charged
with assault with dangerous in
strument, a bar OF iron, with In.
tent to kill and marder. Tay-
lor Weldon had formerly In
tested the prairie section of our
parish, southeast of Opelousas,
where he committed the offence
charged, as well as other offenses
On learning that he would be
sought after for his lnisdeeds by
the officers Of the law, he concluded
that he would elude their efforts
to capture him by change OF
domieile, and accordingly betook
himself to the banks of the Cour-
tableau, as suitable place of ref
uge, enjoying there the hospitali-
ty of his kin-people and keeping
a watch for the approach of those
In whose hands was intrnsted the
execution OF the law. When he
left, the Sheriff was not apprehen-
sive Of any such grave trouble as
the elimination of this affair proved
to be, and only took his rifle with
him as precaution, while his dep
uty had no arms at all. Mr..
Fisher accompanied the party
simply for the purpose OF identi-
flying the negro, as neither the
Sheriff or his deputy knew him.
On reaching the neighborhood in
which the negro was supposed to
be, and while they were proceed
ing to a certain house, to obtain
information, the negro was espied
ON the gallery Of a cabin near what
is known as the CAN'T ditch. Dep
uty Stagg, who was riding in the
buggy with the Sheriff, with Mr..
Fisher following in another buggy,
that q negro whom they
saw standing on the gallery above
referred to, must be the man want
ed, on account OF his tallness.
simultaneously with Dep
uty Stages remark, Mr.. Fisher,
who was a little in the rear, ex-
claimed athere's our man, The
Sheriff then stopped his buggy and
got out, and gave his horse to Dep
aty Stagg to hold, Mr.. Fisher, in
the meantime alighting from his
buggy. The negro had entered the
room of the cabin when he saw
this activity on the part OF the
officers. Sheriff Swords started
around the right side of the honse
and Mr.. Fisher to the left. AS they
proceeded to circumvent the house,
the woman, who was standing on
the gallery, and who was the sister
Of the criminal, remarked to some
one in the house, "put that gun
down, don't shoot him." About
this time Taylor Weldon ran out
the back door, and succeeding in
ditch In which there
were some trees and brushes,
took refuge behind a tree with
three forks or branching limbs.
From this position, as MIR. Fisher
approached, he opened fire on him
with q shotgun. which fortunate
" for Mr.. Fisher, happened to be
loaded with small shot-and fired
two shots at him, both of which
wore effective and inflicted painful
though not dangerous wounds In
his chest, face and head. The
Sheriff did not know that the Me-
yro was behind the tree until Mr..
Fisher was shot, when the smoke
rom the dangerous gun disclosed
his place of ambush. Mr.. Fisher
was shooting at the negro with
his sS-calibre pistol, but failed to
bit him, and the second time he
was shot he fell and arose
at his assailant. It was

while in the service of the New York

expected TO 20. Mr.. Pulitzer conducted
them 10 Hitchcock famous beanery

where the Pulitzer building now stands
Said he as lie ordered beef and beans
