Murder.
Special to Letter.
Bastrop. La., Nov. 5th New
received here to-day that Mr.
Ernest Hatch, who lived near
Oak Ridge, was shot and killed
on Friday night by a negro.
The negro was accused
of hog stealing and Hatch,
with some others went to
see him about it. The
statement is that the negro
refused to open the door
and they broke it down,
whereupon the negro fired both
barrels of his gun at them
killing Mr. Hatch. Think the
negro escaped.

reconsidering his refusal
to accept the Chairmanship
of the Pacific R. R. Committee
is without foundation.
