"Caddo Confederates"
Proud Confederate Soldier∼Murdered: It is with unfeigned regret that we have to announce the death of Robert R. Pennall, Deputy Sheriff of this parish, at the hands of a freedman called "Cash". The circumstances attending his death are as follows: Last Saturday in an angry conversation between the parties, Cash gave Pennall the lie, whereupon the latter broke a bottle of bitters over his head. Cash bided his time for revenge, and late in the day waylaid him and shot him in he back. Pennall lingered until Monday night, when he died. Notwithstanding every effort has been made by the civil authorities to capture him, Cash is still at large.
