Father Doherty, who recently re-
turned from the Philippines, was the
neyt sneaker, and delivered very pa
triotic address on the subject or 'Olr
Soldiers in the Philippines. He Gald
there was quite a contrast for him TO
come from scenes of blood and war to
a peace gathering, but one man, especi-
ally a missionary, plays many parts.
Father Doherty said he had had many
strange experiences during his mission
ary labors in the Philippines. Some
times he preached on shipboard under
the stars and stripes and sometimes on
the tented field, and once he was in
vited to preach to the Jewish boys on
Yom Kippur. They could not find
rabbi and concluded that the father
was the next best thing. The father
spoke about celebrating mass with the
Montana boys at Cavite and meeting
Chaplain Stull, for whom he had the
greatest respect. In his audience were
American soldiers, Spanish prisoners
and Filipinos. In the hospitals or on
the field in ministering to the soldiers
the father never drew the line. One
day a soldier said to him, "Fa Their, you
never ask where your men are
No" he replied, they are all here
they are all my men,"
At that time there was no news of the
cars peace proposals and it might not
nave Dteu sale 10 urge IL upon tue MOH-
tana soldiers, who loved peace so well
that they wanted to fight for it, but
who thought it their first duty to dis
arm the Filipinos and Aguinaldo and
his crews. When that is done they will
be ready ITO return to their homes and
turn their swords into pillow shares or
miners picks. The United States is a
nation Of peace and is patient and long
suffering. It will not fight until it has
to, and in this war it has been a rod
in the hand of the Almighty to chastise
those who have been unfaithful and
wicked, a rod that will be respected by
the Filipinos after it has been properly
applied to their backs.
Father Doherty won enthusiastic APP

he believed as an American and a sol

ton of the war was both unwse and

FINDS ANOTHER VICTIM.
The Georgia Mob Hangs Ligc Stricls
land, Alleged AccomDlice of
Sam Hose.

Palmetto, Ca, April 25.-The body of
Lige Strickland, the negro preacher
who was implicated in the Crawford
murder by Sam Hose, was found swing
ing to the limbs of a persimmon tree
within mile and a quarter of this
place early Monday. Before death was
allowed to end the sufferings of the
negro, his ears were cut off and the
small finger of his left hand was severed
at the second joint. On the chest of the
negro was scrap of blood-stained note
paper attached with an ordinary pin.
On one side of this paper was written;
New York Journal-We must protect
our ladies', $780," The other side of the
paper contained a warning to the ne
groes of the neighborhood. 1t read as
follows: Beware, all darkies. You
will be treated the same way"
Before being finally lynched Strick-
land was given chance to confess to
the misdeeds of which the mob sup
posed him to be guilty, but he protested
his innocence until the end. Three
times the moose was placed around his
neck, and the negro was drawn up off
the ground, three times he was let
down with warnings that death was in
store for him should he fail to confess
his completely in the Crawford murder.
Three times Strickland proclaimed his
innocence, until weary of useless tor.
turing, the mob pulled on the rope, and
tied the end around the slender trunk
of a persimmon tree. Not a shot was
fired by the mob. Strickland was
strangled to death.
The lynching of Lige Strickland was
not accomplished without desperate
effort on the part of his employer to
save his life. The man who pleaded for
the negro is Maj. w. w. Thomas, an ex-
state senator, and one of the most dis
tinguished citizens of Coweta county
He did all in his power to prevent the
lynching of the negro, and did not dis
continue his efforts until he had been
assured by the leaders of the mob that
the negro would be taken to Jail at Fair.
bury. One mile from where this prom
Use was made Lige Strickland was
hanged. The mob took the negro to
grove near the home of Marshal j. ].
Givens, of this place, and again the
moose was adjusted around his neck
He was hauled off the ground, but was
let down to allow him to confess. He re.
fused to do so, and the lynchers were
about to haul him up again when the
son of Marshal Givens came upon the
scene and asked that the lynching not
occur so near his fathers home. The
negro was then taken to the yard in
the rear of DR.. w. S. Cellars home and
tied up to persimmon tree and left
hanging.
A coroner's jury held an inquest al
Palmetto and rendered the usual yer.
dict-death at the hands of parties un
known.
Another mob is hunting the country
for Albert Sewell, who has been making
himself obnoxious by remarks concern
ing the whites. There is not much
prospect of his capture, however, as he
has been out of town two days.

BREAK IN THE LEVEE.
InundntiOn of Finest Sugar Plnnta-

Has Begun.

Raceland, La, April 25.-What was
thought to be the inevitable has hap
pened. Notwithstanding strenuous eff
forts by the people of the Lafouche val
ley, the levee gave way Monday morn
ing at one o'clock at point five miles
below Raceland on the left descending
bank of Bayou Lafouche, on the upper
confines of the Clotilda plantation of
Barker & Lc Blanc. The break quickly
widened, and at the break of day dis
astrous crevice was pouring the murky
waters of the bayou over some of the
richest plantations, inundating hun
dreds of acres of cane and corn and
stretching its grasp in all directions.
Within radius of five miles are to be
found the Georgia plantation of
Charles S. Mathews, Clotilda plantation
of Barker & LIE Blanc, Ravenswood
plantation of F. Bourg, Mcleod planta-
ton of Maj. c. La Garder, Golden Ranch

The Mary, Raceland, Utopia and Upper
Ten plantations of Leon GodchauX, five
miles above, are protected by side and
back levees. AS result of this break
the waters of Bayou Lafouche have
fallen six feet in 12 hours. No attempt
is being made to close the crevasse, al
though labor and material will be plen-
tiful should an opportunity arise to
make the attempt.
