A Shooting Affray.

Donaldsonville. - The remains of George A. Gleason, the young man who was 
fatally shot at White Castle Tuesday night by Louis Hebert, and who died at 
the Charity Hospital in New Orleans at five o'clock Thursday, were interred 
in the Protestant Cemetery in Donaldsonville Friday morning, having been 
brought here from White Castle on the early train. Hebert was safely lodged 
in jail in Plaquemine. There was much talk of a lynching bee, but the older 
heads of the White Castle community set their faces against it and their 
counsel prevailed.
