"Vignettes" of the Civil War
By Francis McRae Ward
Year 1878
Captain Peck's men fired into the house wounding three Negroes who were there with Fairfax. Immediately after this happened, they returned to Catahoula Parish with the body of Captain Peck. Captain Peck was a highly respected citizen, and he left a wife and several children.[10]
The morning after Captain Peck was killed, Judge C. C. Cordill, Parish Judge, and several others went to the place of disturbance, found Fairfax and some other Negroes, who were all very defiant, and bodily refused to be arrested. Judge Cordill had issued a warrant for the arrest of Fairfax, which was handed over to the Sheriff, but the force being insufficient to cope with the situation, it was decided not to issue the warrant until more help could be obtained.[11] Armed Negroes, from both Parishes (Tensas and Concordia), congregated in Waterproof, and threatened to take the town over. The next day a party of about one hundred men left St. Joseph for Waterproof with shotguns and rifles. When they reached a place known as Bass Lane, about a mile north of Waterproof, they came upon a band of Negroes numbering about a thousand. Some of the men wanted to wait for reinforcements. But Judge Cordill said, that he and four others had routed a whole Company of Negro soldiers near Waterproof during the war, and he knew that they would not stand and fight. Judge Cordill ordered his men to charge at full speed, firing their guns and yelling as loud as they could. The Negroes dismounted from their mules and ponies; ran through a thick hedge, which bordered each side of the lane; hid in the cotton fields, and this was the end of the rebellion. Fairfax made his escape, and never returned.[12]
