The story Of a mob at Waverly, 10 La.

lake coguizance OF the matter. The VIC
tim OF the mob was a young man who

note was left at his office telling him to
leave, and when he did not do so, some
officer pretended to arrest him, turned
him over to a mob that beat and humil.
lated and threatened his life, and then
locked him up 10 the city prison. Another
official came to him and under promise OF
getting him out got all his money and his
watch. He finally gained his liberty and

spiracy exists to drive him out Of

"District Attorney Warner was absent,

federal law was involved"
We called up Mr.. Thomas, mayor Of

him the particulars In the above case.
Mr.. Thomas said: at Is an internal lie
from beginning to end" He then said 9

table drew a pistol and fiourished Il
about. The marshal arrested him and
put him In the c~alaboose. Next morning
Ogden put up his pistol, bis watch
aud 81 In money for his appearance
Tuesday, and was released on his owu
recognizance. Mr.. Thomas added: "And
the son OF a gun has not showed up here
yet" This is all there is to the abov.
wonderful story,
