Vague rumors have frequently been

A certain plausibility has been attached to
such rumOrs from the fact that the French
government might welcome such solu-

the neighborhood of Kontwood. They
would give employment to the young men
| and afford market for tie wares of the
elders and the women. Stores and dwell
ings houses were built, and little village
of 500 inhabitants soon spring up.
Then trouble began. The first foreman
of the mills was Michigan man named
Preston. He was apprehensive lest the
fact that he was a northerner would
arouse prejudice against him. Possibly
it did, but it wasn't his fault. He treated
the natives with great consideration-tOo
great, some people think. He gave them
the preference in selecting kands, and even
kept men who We're objectionable in order
to avoid trouble
As one man who is familiar with the
situation puts it, He catered too much
to the muzzle loading element, and they
got above themselves. -
1t is related that he even kept one man
employed vino boasted that he had slain
nine men.
Finally Preston asserted himself and
essayed to run the mills III his own way.
He was ordered to get out OF the country.
He didn't go.
One night bullet ''pinged'' by his ear.
He still hung on. He got another notice
to leave, which he disrcgarded. Then it
got to be n regular thing for him to be
made ii target of at night He stuck it
ont for IL few days, then concluded he had
done enough to show that he WASH t afraid
and departed
William McGee succeeded him and had
trouble of various kinds Being unable
to get reliable white labor, he put negroes
in the mills That was too much for the
natives. They harassed McGiee, and final
IL he was shot from ambush. lie was Sc
verely wounded, but recognized the men
who shot him as the two Gill brothers,
Alonzo and Aleck, Otto Bamber and
Peter Coleman.
The sheriff of Washington parish lost
his life accidentally in the search for these
crafty fighters. The Banner Lumber COM
pany shut down its plant, and its entire
force of 250 men, aided by scores of others
who loved and sought peace. was turned
locse to scour the country and bring this
bloodthirsty gang to justice. They failed,
although the odds We're 100 to / i'll their
favor. The best they could do was to treat
with the gang and beg them to surrender,
promising in advance that they should be
tried i'll another parish.
The most intense feeling prevailed in ev-
cry quarter. The men who did not take
sides in the fcud were vcry.few. When the
Banner Lumber company scarchers, with
their bloodhoundS, wonld return at night
ON their log train, tired, hungry and mud
dy from wading swamps and climbing
hills, the friends of the -Bamber fac
tion would taunt them and ask:
Have you got cnOugh?'
No" they replied; I'VE will never
have enough till these men are either kill
cd or captured

peated.

And still the search went on. Four hun
dred men were hunting four, but they
could not find them. 1t was morally GER
tain that they were within shouting dis
tancc of Gilltown In fact. they were seen
at one time by Il small searching party,
but by the time re-cnforccmcnts reached
the scene they were gone. The ellis and
their associates were being protected by
their relatives, of whom there are many.
Every man who entered tile ncighborhood
was considered 1t sp:< Eumun life was not

probably have been executed without proc
