The Lynching at Mansura.

We have had the story pretty direc
from Avoyelles, and give it as we hav,
heard it concerning the lynching a
Mansura. Sylvan was black mar
who had been teaching school in tia
vicinity. Some persons had taken int
their heads to go at night and fog hin
tor some imputed misdemeanor-hoe
stealing. About IS or 30 of them called
at his house after dark, about O'Clock
and called him, ordering him to come
out. He refused to go out. They then
threatened to break his door in. He
took up his gun to defend himself.
! The door was broken open aud as this
was done he fired at the crowd and
killed Duco. The lynchers ran in every
direction under cover of night and as
they were leaving he fired the other
barrel Of his gun killing a horse and
wounding another lyncher.
He then made his escape and the
lynchers fastened away leaving the
body of Duco lying at the cabin door
all night. Brave souls.
The next day they embed, about
2G in number, and went in search of
Sylvan. He had escaped and was not
found. Laurent, yellow man, brick
mason, was at work laying some brick
when the lynchers went to him, arrested
and hung him, for no cause that
any one knows, except il suspicion
that he had aided Sylvan in max
ing his escape. They then went to
the house of Gabriel Magloire, black
man living near the town, arrested
and required him to tell where Syl-
vain was. He told them he did not know,
They took him to tree, put rope
around his neck and suspended him un-
til life was nearly extinct. He was then
let down and after he had sufficiently
revived to speak, they demanded of him
to tell where Sylvan was. He told
them lie did not know; that he had not |
been with nor had he seen him. Again |
he was hung and, just before life was
gone, he was lowered. After time he |
revived and could speak. lie was again
asked where Sylvan was, and he again
that he could not tell as he
did not know.
They then hung him for the third and
last time, and not waiting for him to
die, each fired into his body with his
revolver. He was left there dead, nor
did they return to take the body down.
They then went to the priest and gave
him orders not to bury him. In both
The hangings the jynchers were un-
and all was done in open day
ight.
Maslolre was reported quiet, good
nan. He owned the property on which
le lived and was able to get along in a
lulet and comfortable style. Sylvan
vas charged by the lynchers with hav-
ng stolen a hog. Court was in session
Marksville, and the grand jury could
ave indicted him, if any evidence had
een offered inculpating him. The
herltf went out with a posse and ar
ested about IS of the lynchers, and {
'hen our informant left MarksyiIle !
hey were still in custody.
The authorities of Avoyelles owe it !
themselves to ferret out and punish {
le authors OF these dastardly outrages. '

no commencement day-the school
quietly dissolved without fuss or frolic,
