wounded from thirteen buck shot
wounds from the double barrcled
shotgun used by Sheriff Rel IN
the capture of Carricrc.
I The Calcasjcu officials stopped
only long enough to give Carricrc
drink of water and then went
on to Lake Charles. where every
effort will he made to save the
life Of the man that slew Marion
Swords. DR.. T. S. Smith. Of Ell
ton. who dressed Carriere S
wounds at / clock this morning,
thought the outlaw had chance
to recover.
Sheriff Tate tells a dramatic
story Of the capture Of Carrlere.
He says that all credit for the
capture is in reality due to ex-
Sheriff Y. q. Reid, of Allen pa
ish. who laid the groundwork
and plans that finally trapped
the much sought outlaw. Y. q.
Reid had his plans well organized
and for six days had positive and
reliable knowledge of Carriere S
nightly habitation. lie had Sc
cured the cooperation of one OF
Carricrc S kinsmcn near Basllc,
who had kept the cx-sheriff posted
of his every movement.
Mr.. Reid planned last night for
the final coup and notified Henry
Reid Of Calcasicu late yesterday
afternoon and Deputy Tate Of
Kinder. and as carefully as a
general would direct an army,
the three units from Lake Charles
and Kinder moved last night to
the lonely abandoned saw mill
one mile north Of Basilc.
The party, consisting of six.
reached the spot where Carriere
was known to he sleeping nightly,
at Q o'clock. There they waited
in picket formation around the
sawmill shed from 9 O'Clock un-
til 2 o'clock this morning.
At 2 o'clock Carricre strolled
leisurely within eight feet of
Henry Reid, who was concealed
beside a path leading to the old
sawmill shed, one mile west of
Basile. Sheriff Reid said not a
word, but waited until Carriere
stepped onto the mill shed forty
steps away. Seeing bv the moon
light, which was shining brightly,
that Carriere carried his famous
old Betsy. 44-caliber rifle,
Sheriff Reid took no further chan
ces. Two shots from his double
barreled shotgun in rapid success
sion brought Carriere down, and
the balance of the posse were
quickly OH the scene.
Carriere on examination was
found to have received thirteen
bucksh0ts in the back of the neck
and shoulder, completely paralyz-
ing his right arm so that his rifle
was useless by his side. Carriere
cursed and ragged at the officers
and told them they were traitors
who had stolen his life. He
begged that they take his fav-
orite Winchester and blow his
head off.

OUTLAW CAPTURED.

IIcIairc Carricre. tho slayer OF
Sheriff Marion Swords Of St.Lan-
dry Parish, was trapped by a
posse of Lake Charles and Kinder
officers early this morning, ana
captured at Putnam S old mill, a
mile and a half west of l'asllc.
Carricrc was shot in the shoulder
and i sbclicved to be badly
wounded.
Sheriff Henry Reid, Of Lake
Charles, who has kept IN close
touch with the Carricrc chase,
left the city yesterday afternoon
with Deputy Shcriffs J. i. Ca
ruthers. Calvin Harmon and Leslie
Richardson. by a preconee'vcd
plan they met former Sheriff y.
q. Reed, of Allen Parish, and Os-
car Tate, Of Kinder, at point
above Elton. The meeting took
place just after dark.
r. Reaching the old Putnam mill.
west of Basilc. Sheriff Reid sta
toned his men along the road
running west of Kinder. lie
placed himself near the steps
leading up on to the mill plat
form. The posse waited here nm.
til two o'clock this morning, the
hour at which. their guide IN
formed them, Carriere would be
along the road.
Five minutes later Sheriff Reid
saw man walking along the
highway, but on account OF the
thickness of the brush could not
distinguish his features. lie
thought it might be a member OF
his own posse and the man had
mounted the steps on to the mill
platform before the sheriff saw
that it was his quarry. In the
bright moonlight he easily identi-
fed the outlaw by his costume
and the winchester that he ear
ried.
The first intimation that Car
riere had Of the presence OF the
posse was then Sheriff Reid called
out to him to surrender. lie i'm
mediatcly whirled, facing the
woods. and brought his. gun into
position to fire. Being able to
see no one he--turned again and
tried to run into the mill.
Just as the bandit entered the
,shadow formed by the mill shed
Sheriff Reid fred load Of buck
shot which struck Carriere in the
back Of his left shoulder and he
fell on the platform. The rest Of
the posse gathered in the edge Of
the woods by the steps and waited
several minutes. Carriere MAX
ing no hostile move, they walked
up on the platform, disarmed him,
and gave him attention.
After the posse had given him
water to drink and washed off his
face the outlaw spoke a few brief
sentences. lie told the men Of
the posse that if he had gotten
the chance he would have showed
them q "good time. A few
minutes later he said that he had
wanted to kill several men be-
fore he was captured. He said
there was man named Oar
bonnc at Obcrlin. and then a
whole lot Of others.
Sorry Two Negroes
Did Not Die.
The only statement he made to
the officers in regard to the
Swords killing was that he was
sorry the two negroes he shot had
not died.
Carriere was placed in the
posses automobile and taken to
Elton, where DR.. Smith dressed
his wounds. Although it was 4

Carricrc said that the mosqui-
toes had not bothered him much
since the killing Of Swords. lie
had spent several days in the
old mill near Elton, sleeping there
during the daytime and going
out at night for food. When
asked If anyone kept watch for
him while he slept he only
laughed.
'''T am sorry the sheriff has
robbed me Of my life," said Car
riere, a minute later. eff I had
seen them first there would have
been more shooting. would like
to. have seen some Of them fall

Carriere complained Of his
wounds paininp him, and ex-
pressed desire to die before

his left lung just below the shoul-
der blade may cause his death
within a few hours, according to
physicians. Whenever he brcathcs
