family was destroyed by fire. IT is

"A great many Of our citizens
residing on st. Peter and Wash
ington streets were subjected to
high pitch Of excitement last
Thursday night about nine O'Clock
upon hearing the report OF what
seemed to them repeated DIS
charges from fire arms. 1t .ap-
pears that when the west bound
train reached the City limits with
large party Of commercial trav-
elers on board, bound for the
Convention at Alexandria, La,
they threw from the train a num-
Der of cannon crackers, making
known their passage through the
City. The reports took those
within hearing by such surprise
that they were afraid to even ven
ture to their doors. One Of our
good citizens hearing man 90
by on a saddle horse at a rapid
pace, at once conc uded that the
shooting was done by him, and or
dered the lights in his mansion
put out, as he feared a shot or
two might come his way. Anoth
err tried hard to get in touch with
the Police Headquarters, but nay,
nay. no response he could get. 1t
was only when they got connec-
ton with the Southern Pacific de
pot that they were relieved of the
sudden shock that was infected
upon them. 81
Police Officers Romero and
Nina had quite a rough time OF 1t
last Tuesday night in arresting a
negro that was disturbing the
peace in the rear portion of town
and had to use their billets to
bring him into submission, and not
until his skull was cracked could
they do anything with him. he
being very powerful negro.
Word being sent these officers that
there was a man back there ours
ing and abusing the passersby,
they Immediately started out IN
search of him and placed him I'M
der arrest. which he resented by
cursing and abusing them, all the
while they were escoring him to
prison, and when in front of the
Theatre there was nothing else
for them to do, but to crack him
over the head, which was done,
telling him to the sidewalk, and
with the assistance of few cltl-
zens he was landed in durance vile,
The next morning he was subject
ed to a heavy fine, which might
have it's effect, but jail sentence
of six months would not have been
too much for him under the cir
cumstances and a little road work,
together with a fine, would have
been in keeping with the nature OF
the violation of the law as on this
occasion. ~
