accompanied with sleet and snow, are
dangerous visitors"
On the 18th of January, 1850, Captain
Smith wrote from Camp Colorado:
81 have been hunting great deal lately.
1t is the only occupation have. A few
days since, in two days. hunt, l killed
some eight or ten buffalo; and in a trip
some twenty miles below the Post, with
three men, | brought back seventy odd
turkeys. have fine pack of dogs and
can get up hare, wolf, deer or bear chase
any moment. My game book shows already
over two hundred cartridges bagged by me
this season. But | long for the sand
hills, long for the pines, long for the
mullet and hominy of Florida
A letter written in March, 1850, gives a
further account of Texas life and especial
ly of the Captains life at Camp Colorado:
81 have just returned from my visit to
San Antonio. Inoted a change from
my recollections of three years ago, when
visits of etiquette were made by men arm
ed to the teeth; when married men walked
the streets with wife on one arm and a
double barrel shotgun on the other; and
trees in the suburbs were almost daily
ornamented with fruit, whose hempen
stems were never attached thereto by ma
ture. If had the benefit of some
little society and could occasionally hear
the rustic of crinoline, would have but
little to complain of. We are three bach
elors at the Post and it is eighty miles
through wilderness to the first visitable
female"
On the 9th of December, 1860, Captain
Smith wrote the last letter giving an insight
into his frontier experience, from which we
quote the following paragraph:
Buffalo were making their appearance.
and their advent south is here regarded as
significant of severe winter. On my re-
turn home, made fine bag of birds
cartridges, ducks (mallard and teal
Geese, turkeys and swan were abundant
On the last day, had an exciting chase
of three miles after large bear.''

New Orleans States.l
Donaldsonville, La, March6.-Although
he admitted killing Martin Cannon from am
bush, Elliott Powers was found not guilty
by jury in the district court at midnight.
A mass meeting of citizens to protest
against the verdict and probably invite
Powers to leave town is likely.
Judge c.. T. Workman, in the district
court this morning, declared the verdict
did not meet with his approval. Address
ing the jury that freed Powers and other
members of the venire, Judge Workman
said:
"Suppose Powers should go forth this
morning and shoot down those who testi-
fled against him? According to your ver-
dict you would acquit him, but do hope a
jury can be found to convict in such cases. -
District Attorney Gilbert, in open court,
also condemned the verdict.
Powers, farmer, shot Cannon to death
when the latter was seated on the gallery
of his home August 10th. The slayer was
concealed.
He was arrested later and admitted firing
the fatal shot, but declared he did it because
Cannon circulated false stories relating to
alleged improper conduct on the part OF
Powers and his daughter.

war on the so-caled pot hunter does not
appear to US just in principle. The wild
game of the State should not be made the
exclusive property of sportsmen; they con-
stitute small portion of the whole people
and are no more entitled to their pleasure
than the pot hunter is to living. Let US
also add, that if the pot hunter did not
supply those who cannot hunt with game,
then only the sportsmen and their friends
could enjoy game.
New Orleans States: Our sympathy is
wholly with the law abiding citizens OF
Shreveport who are making stand for the
good name of their splendid city. The
whole State will sympathize with them in
their movement, the end and aim of which
is to put a higher value On human life
Such a movement ought to interest the
whole South. Not only in Shreveport but
throughout this section the shedding oil
human blood is altogether too lightly con.
sidered and often condoned.

Down in Shreveport.

ON the Shreveport Caucasian.]
Life is joyful down in Shreveport,
Where they never have the blues,
Where the captain kills the colonel,
And the colonel kills the booze;
Where the horses are all pretty,
And the women they are too,
And they shoot men up for pastime,
When they've nothing else to do.
Where red blood flows like water,
And the bullets rain like hail,
Where each pocket has pistol,
And every coat tail.
Where they sometimes hang jury,
But never hang the man;
Where you call a man liar,
Then 60 home-if you can.
When you go out in the morning
just to give your health chance,
They bring you home at nightfall
With buckshot in your pants.
Where the OWLS afraid to boiler,
And the birds don't dare to sing,
For its hell now down in Shreveport
Where they shoot you on the wing.
