On Saturday lat Jack johnson,
c,lored, was killed ut Greenwood by
Constable G g. Alexandria. John
son WAS good negro while sober bnt
excessively mean, abusive and helllR-
erent when under the influence OF
liquor. He has bean nearly killed
.everal times in fracas with negro $,
the result of drink, and was feared by
the majority Of his color and dreaded
by the whites.
On the day he met his death he
was considerably intoxicated and be-
came 40 turbulent while 10 the store
of Mr.. s. Bryson that that gentle
man felt himself forced to swear ont
a warrant against johnson. cha 81 Z
him with disturbing the peace. This
warrant was issued by Justice W. h.
Shepherd and placed in the hands Of
Constable Alexander for execution.
The officer served the warrant which
at first drew forth volley of oaths,
threats and defiance from johnson,
who refused to submit. Finding the
officer determined he pretended to
submit and consented to 20 to the
cslsboose. AS they started out Of
the house Mr.. Alexander called Mr.
Joseph Shepherd to 60 with him
After they had walked some distance
Jack suddenly drew large oper
knife and made q terrific stroke Al
Mr.. Alexander's head, intending, ne
doubt, to split it in twain. AS h'
struck negro close by jerked tn
officer back and the knife split BIZ
hat brim. This blow was followed
up by another and smother in quicl
succession, one striking the consta
bic in the collar. Then, seeing tina
the negro intended to murder him j
he could, Mr.. Alexander drew his pis
tol and shot him dead. But for th
fact that the knife was very dull, tn
second stroke would certainly have
killed him.
As Mr.. Shepherd was assisting il
the arrest he and Constable Alexall
der came to town Monday and SUI
rendered to Sheriff Young. Distric
Attorney Land then had Justice {
D. Hicks to issue warrants agains
both, charging them with killing JAG
johnson.
Later in the day they we're granite

D. Land and were honorably di'
, charged.
1t was the general opinion that th
killing of Jack was q good thing, bs
Constable Alexander regrets that b
had it to do.

Is Il a Regular DeadfalI2

Within the last three or four months
dark rumors have been circulating con-
corning the conduct which goes on in
Mr.. G. E Rcichler's saloon on Market
street. Frequently within that time
has the report been made to US indi
rectly that acts of very doubtful nature
are there committed, some so grave
rs to be denominated robberies. We
have kept silent on this because, hav.
ing known Mr.. Reichler from boy.
hood, we could not believe that he
would knowingly allow his place to be
made resort for thieves and fakirs to
plV their nefarious trade. We also
thought that his principal barkeeper.
DR.. Selser had had enough experience
to induce him to lead q different life,
but we have heard enough lately to
shake our Saith in the former and lead
us to change our mind about the latter.
Ii Mr.. Reichler does not indorse such
methods as are reported to occur in his
saloon frequently, he should put stop
to it at once. The people are becom-
ing tired of these repeated occurrences
and WILL have a stop put to them.
The clubbing of the young man by
DR.. Selser because he refused to have
whole room full wrung IN on him
when he went to get drink for HIM
self and friend, and the changing OF
the twenty dollar bill by giving four
one dollar bills therefor, by an old
trick, which occurred there Wednes.
day night; to say nothing of numerous
other shady transactions limited at
are fast becoming more than our peo
pie will bear. They are ever patient
and long forbearing, but the reputa'
ton OF their town Is at stake, and they
will put stop to such procedure
Chief Rogers has done his best ir
this direction but it seems without
avail He has had a crowd of fakir.
and DR.. Selser before Mayor Vinson
but for some reason they have beer
discharged. In the first instance be
cause pa;rolmen took bonds; IN thu
second because witness was q littl,
late in getting to court, that witnes
being one of the best citizens O.
Shreveport. Chief Rogers is still a
work and will continue to try to pro
tect the travelling public from tn
fakirs and thieves which are said t,
infest the Union depot and Mr.. Reich
ler's saloon. In fact we are informe;
that local horse traders are cappers 70
the boys.
We again say that Mr.. G. E. Reich
J Ter owes it to himself to put stop t
this business, and if his saloon has bee
converted into deadfall without hi
knowledge, he would do we'll to get ri
of some of his help and some of th
hargcrs-on about his place, as thei
presence is pretty good evidence tina
= rascality is aimed at and will be a.
tempted if the opportunity present
l itself.
Much of our information is game
from Chief Rogers and much fro
other reliable sources.
