House and Boy Burned,

Wednesday night at II o'clock, on
Greenwood plantation of Ernest Roger,
four miles above Thibodaux, the board
ing house caught fire and was entirely
consumed with almost its entire con-
tents. Unfortunately there were two
little boys asleep upstairs, aged five
and eight years. The eldest started
with his brother to window, but lost
the younger on the way. Unable to
find him again he jumped through the
flames and window, burning the hair
of his head in the effort. The small
boy was found afterward almost ere
mated, only the bust remaining intact.
The house was kept by Mrs. Whitney,
whosed daughter had been married
that day, and just after the festivitieG
had closed the fire broke out.

gray when men who are now gray
headed were children. He is said to
have been about 1O7 years eld when he
died, which would have put him in the

first president was elected, and at an
age to have been able, if free, to have
yoted for James Madison in 1909. y

himself. wife and five children Monday

made by the police Tuesday. Upon
forcing open the door of Hougaard's

alive at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning snd
at that time talked with newspaper
reporter who came out to see if he had
killed himself and family Hougaard
had written to q morning paper that he
intended to commit this awful crime,
thinking the paper would not receive
the letter until Tuesday. The paper,
however, always sends messenger to.

o'clock Tuesday morning he brought in
the letter. A reporter was at once
sent to the house. He pounded on the
door and was admitted by Hougaard
who said he had no intention of kill
ing anybody and seemed to be in good
spirits. There was no. odor Of gas
about the house, and as the reporter
could find no corpses he went back to
the office. Hougaard must have turn
ed on the gas as soon as the newspaper
man left him.

The Question Causes Serious Trouble
in Oklahoma.
Since early Monday morning Perry,
Oko.. has been intensely excited over
the. public school question and serious
trouble is feared. When the schools
were opened Monday morning Prof. ].
w. Augustine denied admittanee to col
ored children in the high school or
other public school buildings, except
those designated months ago for the
exclusive use of colored children. The
exception was George Washington Alex
ander Webster, ten years old, in whose
name the mandamus proceedings were
brought three months ago, and decided
in his favor. Prof. Augustine holds
that the decree Of the court applied
only to this one boy. In the high
school building 500 white children and
about so colored CHILDREN assembled,
followed by crowd of white men and
negroes. White school boys had large
stones in their pockets, with the inten-
tion of using them on the negroes as
they entered the building. 1t is said
every negro child In the city asked for
admission. Officers escorted four col
.ored children into the high school.
Each 'teacher made vigorous protest
against receiving them, but the chill
dren were made to sit down. 1t is ru-
mored that She entire school board is
to be arrested for contempt of court.
White citizens threaten to tear down
the Jail if the arrests are made.
