| The terrible tragedy Of last Sun.
day morning that resulted in the
death of DIR. P. L. Bellenger at the
hands of Philip Pierce, on Killar-
neyp plantation, on Lake st. John,
in Concordia parish, is among the
most regrettable occurrences that
has ever happened to mar the usual
quiet serenity of that pleasant and
peaceful neighborhood.
Reports of the trouble precipitat-
ing the unfortunate climax have
been most conflicting, the only wit
nesses to the deed besides the COM
battants being negroes. About the
most reliable story of the trouble
thus far obtainabIe is in substance
as follows: DIR. Bellenger was en-
gagged in planting on Killarney
and had rented land to Pierce and
was also advancing him, when on
Friday evening they quarreled in
the field about the manner in which
Pierce was working his crop. 1t is
claimed that Bellenger swore at
Pierce and threatened to whip him.
This was resented by Pierce who
then offered to settle his account
and discontinue further relations.
Toward this end Pierce went to|
Bellenger's house on Sunday morn
ing and it is believed made a peace
full and ainicable settlement, and
left the house, when Bellenger no.
ticed the handle Of pistol protrud-
ing from his hip pocket. Calling to
him, DIR. Bellenger asked Pierce
why he brought that gun, and if he
had come there hunting trouble, to |
which Pierce replied that he had |
not, but that he was not running |
away from trouble. 1t is claimed |
that DR.. Bellenger then got his re-
volver, and the shooting began, it |
is thought by Bellenger, who is said
to have fired six times, only one Of
which hit Pierce, infiicting a flesh
wound in the left arm. Pierce is
said to have shot twice, one ball |
the thigh and the other
and fatal shot entering the abdo-
men and perforating the intestines
in II places.
Medical aid was summoned from
Waterproof and Natchez and an op-
Grafton performed, but the wound
ed man died early Monday morn
ing. The remains were taken to
Jackson, Miss, for interrment.
DR.. Bellenger was born in Ne
braska and was about 40 years Of
age. He was graduate of the Mem
phis Medical Hospital and was a
splendid physician. In 1897 DR..
Bellenger located in Waterproof and |
IN 1898 married Miss Mary Lizzie
Wilcox of Concordia parish. DR.. |,
Bellenger left Waterproof in 1909, |
md moved to Natchez, but returned
% Louisiana in 1910 and located on
he property where he met bis trag-
C end last Sunday.
Pierce surrendered to the Sheriff |
# Concordia parish and was placed
n Jail in Vidalia.

Prof. r. s. Critchlow, principal
Of the vidalia High School, was a

Bureau. Prof. Critchlow saw some

placing of three popular attractions
for St. Joseph for the coming win
