The News.

State Senator Beares, of Catahoula, died recently in the same city from the
effects of a pistol would received under rather mysterious circumstances.  His
mistress, Hattie Hamilton, was arrested for complicity in the act, but was
released.  Catahoula and Winn Parishes are without a Senator.
