raised by Mr.. E. f. Willard, who
caught it with hook aud line. All
attempts at resuscitation failed as

Thursday morning abont I
O'Clock Chief Of Police Carter came
near lOosing his life al the hands
Of q desperate negro by the name
Of Bill Stanley. While the Chief
was looking for negro wanted at
Broussardville charged with muir
der he ran across this negro com
ing out OF the yard Of Mrs. Mimmes
Elite where he had been begging
some sugar; when asked TO stop
he replied IL haven't got time to
fool with yon," and started to run,
he was chased for about four blocks
and was overtaken near the dredge
boat. When cornered he produced
an ugly looking knife aboni twelve
inches long aud made for Chief
Carter making several vicious
lunges before he was shot. The
wound is only slight flesh wound
in the arm. 1t is thought from
what he said he is wanted in an
other locality for some crime.
