New Orleans, La, May Nv.
E. Harrington, a good looking,
well educated young man, who
came from Leesville, this state,
from Kentucky, where he is said
to be highly connected, lies in a
dying condition at that place with
a bullet in his left lung, fired by a
woman. Harrington was arrested
about month ago on the charge
of criminally assaulting Miss Mary
Lacaze, daughter of Joseph Lacaze,
one of the most prominent citizens
of Vernon parish. AS there was
strong talk of lynching he was
transferred to Many, in the adjoin-
ing parish of Sabine. He was re-
turned to Leesville for trial, court
opening there today. Negotiations
had been in progress to compro-
mise the matter bv Harrington
marrying the girl. Miss Lacaze
visited the Jail yesterday with a
view, it was supposed. to make the
final arrangements. Before being
allowed to see the prisoner she was
searched by the sheriff, but no
weapon was found. On entering
Harrington's cell she suddenly
drew a revolver from her bosom,
exclaiming dramatically:
I've come to kill you!"
With this she opened fire. Her
first shot missed, but her second
was true, the ball striking her vic
tim in the breast, penetrating the
left lung. His death is only a
question of hours. Miss Lacaze
was arrested and placed in Jail.
Her family has many friends in
Vernon parish, and they threaten
to rescue her. The sheriff has an
armed force of deputies guarding
the Jail, and if the attempt is made
bloodshed will follow, as he is de-
termined to hold his fair prisoner.
The ladies' wonder how Mrs. b.
manages to preserve her youthful
looks. The secret is she takes Prick
ly Ash Bitters; it keeps the system
in perfect order. For further parti-
culars call on w. B. Frame.
Jail Birds Gone.
Over at Chickasha the people
seem to think it is Il good thing
that the prisoners who recently
broke out of Jail at that place got
away. The Gazette says:
The prisoners We're all charged
with simple misdemeanors. There
were nc felOns among them and it
is a good thing for the community.
perhaps, that they are gone, if
they will only stay out of the Ter
ritory.
Four of the six who escaped are
charged with maintaining a bawdy
house. They had been convicted
and were laying out" their fines
in Jail.
This is the second time the Jail
here has had its door priced open,
so that the prisoners escaped.
None of the prisoners has been
re-captured and no frantic effort
TO overhaul them is being made. +"
The most vigorous workers have
spells of 'tired feeling" now and
then. This feeling is caused by de-
rangement in the stomach, liver
and bowels. A few doses of Prickly
Ash Bitters quickly correct the dis
order and sends the blood tingling
through the veins, carrying life and
renewed energy through the system.
