SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Louisiana Faction Leader Lure:,
From His Homo and Killed.

New Orleans. May 22.-Red River Parish.
La, has its factional feuds. one of which
has just resulted in the cowardly murder of
the leader of one of the factions by am
bushed assassins. Wren. the man killed,
lived at Black Lake, ten miles east of Cou-
chatta, and for years he and his party had
been in what was practically a state of
war. Recently, however, the feeling ap-
peared less bitter. and meeting was
held at which it was decided that the
hatchet should be buried.
1t was. however. only a trick to get
Wren to hang up his Winchester, and on
Saturday when, for the first time in many
months, he left his home unarmed, and
accompanied only by his four-y year-old son,
a hidden assassin shot him down and kill
ed him instantly. The little boy. terri
fled by the spectacle of his fathers mur-
der. ran frantically away and at last ac-
counts had not been found. The old fight
is now on with added energy. and rev
crimes may be expected with certainty.

Mr.. Bromwell has the courage of his con-

and he freely admits the fact in his own
case and takes it for granted so far Is it

a Republican in the House fit 10 be
Speaker of the House? Certainly not, says
Mr.. Bromwell. There is not Democrat
or Republican on the floor from whom he
could command respect
Mr.. Reed has probably a pretty correct
opinion of Bromwell. but We cannot think
it differs much from the estimate in which
he holds all his Republican and some OF his
Democratic colleagues. There was neer
