tions in reference to the now celebrat-
ed case OF Miss Eyangelina CisnerOs,
who is imprisoned among abandoned
women in Cuba, and threatened with
twenty years sentence to the penal
colony at Ceuta. Miss Cisneros, vir-
tuous girl, and native of Cuba, not
yet eighteen years old, is thus perse-
cuted because she refused to submit to
the lustful desires of brute of Span

fair fame, but the facts in the case are
too well established, and thousands of

one fact. She Is but a child, after all,
but she has the soul of true woman,
the courage to endure everything for

Borne by a Tree at JeffersOnvilIe Two
Murderers Lynched.

JEFFERsoNvLLE, Jan. p. -Shortly
before day this morning a mob of mask
ed men broke into the Jail at this place
and took from it Charles Forsyth and
Willis White, the two negro prisoners
who were confined therein charged with
the murder of Mrs. Rowland at Adams
Park on the 13.h inst, and hanged them
to nearby tree, and while they were
writhing in the death agony filled their
bodies literally full of shot.
The crime for which these two negroes
were lynched is of recent date and fresh
in the minds of the people. Late on the
night of the 18th they went to the house
of Mr.. Rowland, merchant and post
master at Adams Park, and demanded
his money. He refused to yield to them
and they opened fire on his house.
Mrs. Rowland was fatally wounded in
the melee and died next day.

A "Reminiscences of the French Massacr
by the Natchez Indians

A "Reminiscences of the French Massacre
by the Natchez Indians.
The Pocahontas of the early DAYS of
the colony of Louisiana, at least so far
as devotion to the French was con-
cerned, was ''Bras-Pique" (Tattooed-
ARM, the mother of the Great Sun or
chief ruler of the Natchez nation at
the time of the massacre of the French
by the Natchez on the 27th of Novem-
Der, 1929. She suspected the great con-
spiracy that was on foot among the
Natehez to destroy the French, and,
being faithful friend of the latter,
induced by repeated solicitations her
son, who was only II years old, to con.
fess to her that he had sent messengers
to all the Indian nations throughout
Louisiana, each message bearing bun,
die of sticks, and each bundle containing
exactly as many sticks as the others
The instructions given to the other In.
dian nations were to begin burning a
stick on certain day, and when the
last stick should be consumed to fall
on the French in their vicinity and Stay
them.
Z Bras-Pique had the details of the plot
communicated to Chepart, the COM
mandant of the post, but finding that
he treated the warnings with contempt,
with the view of saving the majority of
the French in Louisiana by dislocating
the plan of the conspiracy, she entered
the temple of Natchez, where the ''sa-
cred fire" was perpetually maintained,
and threw several sticks from the bun
die which had been. deposited in the
temple on the fire, and thus disarranged
the Natchez part of the conspiracy.
When the last stick of the Natchez was
burned the massacre of nearly all the
French in the Natchez country followed,
but as the tragic event had been precipi-
tated by the stratagem of the devoted
Bras-Pioue, Perrier, who at that time
was governor of the colony, was enabled
to take measures to save the French
elsewhere in the colony.-N. o. Picay-
