A merchant of Scott, Lafayette
Parish, named Martin Begnaud,
was most brutality murdered We'd
nesdsy night of last week. at his
home, and robbed of a sum of mo-
ney estimated at $1,000. The
murdered man was found in bed
hands and feet tied and a gag in
his month, and on his body was
counted fifty two stabs. Two ar
rests of suspicious persons were
made. Mr.. Begnsud is RESPONSE
bic for his own murder because
there is no reason or excuse for a
man living all by himself in the
country, keeping such large
amount of money in an ordinary
safe, when there are banks in all
the towns surrounding Scott,
where his money would be safer
than in his own safe, and his life
would not be exposed. Murderers
and robbers generally know those
who keep their money at home
and those who do not, and when
ever such horrible crimes are CON-
mitted, robbery is the object, and
generally a big haul is made by
the murderers. Those who have
money should invest it, or place il
in some place Of safety, and not
keep it in the house, where it en-
dangers the lives of the owners.

OBITUARY.
William Morris, EngIand's Socialist
Poet and Author.

LONDON, Oct. 8.-William Morris, the
designer. poet and author, who of late
years had proclaimed himself a Socialist,
is dead.
William Morris was born in Essex in 1884.
He engaged alike in artistic and literary
pursuits. and at one time hesitated between
poetry and architecture. In 1858 he pub
lished his first volume of verse. THE De-
Tense of Guinevere,' and ten years later
appeared the Life and Death of Jason
and the Earthly Paradise" In 1861 he
started in the business of decorator and
artistic designer. designing wall papers and
patterns for carpets, and striving to intro
duce beauty into English homes. Through
his relations with skilled labor-an art
worker himself-he was led to inquire into
and condemn cur present system of society.
In a lecture delivered ct the London Insti-
tuition ne said: IF art, which is row sick.
is to live and not 10 die, II must IN the.
future be of the people, for the people and
by the people, it must understand all, and
be understood by ali; equality must be the
answer to tyranny Ii that be not attained,
art will die" Mr. Morris said in this same
lecture: II believe most sincerely that the
steady progress of those whom the stupid
classes in material. political and social con-
ditior, has been our real help in all that
we have been able to do or hope.
In 1854 Mr.. Norris Joined the Socialist
League and ever since he had devoted his
time, his talents and his fortune to the
cause. An indefatigable orator, he went

TROUBLE At A S0IREE.
VIII Freeman Hits F. VI. Van Horn
with "a Brick.

Mrs. John Turner, colored, of 239 South
Capitol avenue, decided to give her hus-
band a birthday party last light, and
among other things provided to make the
guests merry was an abundant supply of
liquid consolation in kegs. AS Mrs. Turner
explained, it was an invitational affair. F.
NJ. Van Horn had been engaged to furnish
music; also Will Freeman had been en-
gagged for the same purpose. When Free
man appeared he had with him a man
named King. to whom Mrs. Turner object
King about the place-he had not been in
vited and was not wanted at all. He had
brought a guitar, expecting to help furnish
music.
Freeman and King withdrew, but later
they We're in the back yard, and Van Horn
went out to try to get them to stop raising
a disturbance. Some words passed, and
Freeman threw a brick at Van Horn. strik-
ing him on the left side of the face, just
mean cut, about two inches one way and
an inch and a half the other, showing that
it was the corner of the brick that did the
damage. An artery was cut. and blood
much alarm those who saw Van Horn, but
the injury is not Of q serious nature, I'M
less a conclusion of the brain should re-
suit, which is not probable. The wound was
dressed at the City Dispensary.
Later Freeman was arrested by patrol
man Woodard, but not until after another
light occurred. in which Woodland showed
that he was master Of the situation. but
even then it required the assistance of
Mrs. Turner and one of the guests to hold
on him. Freeman was slated for assault
and battery with intent to kill.
