balls and a brace OF hits, though they
could have been easily stopped had Vir-

to startle Varsity. however, for when
they came up II was with the evident in

batting was sharp and quick. and they
made the most OF every opportunity, and
Il was the only inning i'm which they SEEM

did some pretty work with the stick, and
when the inning closed six runs had been
added. In the sixth they again. by errors
and four hits. made six runs. clinching
their victory After that they didn't seem
TO care whether they got in or not, though
they made five more runs.

THE FACTS

ment was at a high pitch yesterday eve-
ming. when a report was received i'm Ope-
lousas 10 the effect that two negroes
had been killed and six wounded az Grand
Prairie, about twenty miles distant from
here.
The rumor stated that a band OF White
Slpremacists had gone TO whip these
negroes, and. upon the latter showing
fight. were fired upon. However, when
traced up by your correspondent. the ems
tire story was found TO be utterly un-
founded.
The facts are that a band OF White
Supremacists were riding along the pub
lie road through Grand Prairie. when.
suddenly fire was opened upon them by
a negro I'm field nearby. The boys
returned the fire. and the negro escaped
with but slight wounds In the fusillade
the negro's horse was killed. None oe
the White Supremaclsts were injured.
Otherwise everything has been exceed
lngly quiet in the parish, as well as in
the town.
The prevailing opinion here among the
people Is that the militia IL no longer
needed. and that their retention here
would be imposing a useless expense on
the State Yesterday evening the sol-
diers had a gay time on the green OF
