The Lake Charles Echo

Gainey Speaks.

AND SAYS THE CALCASIEU MEN WILL
BORE HOLES THROUGH HIM.

OF DIMENSIONS LARGE ENOUGH TO
"WALK A JACKASS THROUGH."

[N. O. Democrat.]

The latest phase of the Calcasieu
log muddle is shown in the
following telegram, which has been
referred by the party to whom it
was sent to United States District
Attorney Lacey:

Lake Charles, La., July 28, 1877.

To
The pernicious influence of
Chamberlain and Sewell has at
last brought about what I antici-
pated. Yesterday evening while
I was making a seizure at Gill &
Pla'z's mill I was approached by
a body of men, who, after cursing,
waving at me, and threatening my
life, took possession of some logs
I was about to seize, and said they
would bore holes in me big enough
to
WALK A JACKASS THROUGH
if I did not leave soon.
James Collins, Joseph Martin
and Mazili were amongst the
crowd.
See District Attorney.
GAINEY.

Gainey is credited with having
been appointed by Pitkin a deputy
United States marshal, and as he
has not yet been removed, he
must still hold his warrant as such.
If that be the case, his communi-
cating upon official matters with
any but his superior officer, the
United States marshal, and as is
shown he has done by the tele-
gram, his official conduct is the
most bit irregular, and shows that
his zeal in this instance to
CREATE A SENSATION
has carried him outside of his du-
ties.

In connection with the sensation
already made by this "policy" while
located at Calcasieu, it is whis-
pered about the Customhouse that
he is the same individual who
figured conspicuously here a year
or so since with the celebrated
John F. Barrett, Jr., in some of
the latter individual's crooked cot-
tton investigations.
