ATTEMPTED LYNCHING.
Deputy Sheriff Shot While Protecting
Louisiana Negro.

HOUSTON. Tex. Sept. 2S.--A special
from Lake Charles. La. says:
All day there were rumors OF the
probable lynchlng OF Pierce Scott, a
negro in Jail here charged with Grim
lnal assault on Miss Oswald, aged 49,
a sister Of Judge German.
About o'clock an unmasked crowd
gathered at the courthouse. One OF the
crowd called for Sheriff Perkins and
demanded the keys to the Jail. In the
meantime Judge Miller addressed the
crowd and told them the punishment OF
criminals must be left to the courts.
He then reasoned individually with the
nephews Of the negrOs victim. Judge
Miller urged the crowd TO dispense and
promised to take the case against the
negro up In court tomorrow morning.
On this promise the crowd broke up
and II was thought there would be no
further attempts by the mob.
At ii o'clock. however, a fresh out
break was made by the mob who ad-
vanced toward the Jail with an iron
battering ram fifteen feet long and
three inches in diameter. d. S. A. Har-
mon and Paul Sloan, deputy sherffs
inside the jail. warned them to come no
further and then shot over the heads
Of the crowd. when some one in the
mob fired at the deputies. Paul Sloan
was shot and fatally wounded. He
died at i:15 this (Friday) morning.
The sheriff and deputies outside the
jail then dispersed the crowd at the
point Of their pistols. and members Of
the mob began 10 call for the arrest
Of the man who shot Sloan. Several
members Of the mob who were known
to have been armed We're arrested.

because the helmets are not made by
union men they should be set aside as
a mart OF the street cleaners uniform.
When Colonel Waring planned his
white winged regiment the helmets
were regarded as a most important ad-
iunet Of the costume. They are made
with a small knob on the top and differ
only slightly from the helmets worn
by the regular soldiers Of England.
But they have been put under the ban
Of Commissioner Nagle who said:
These helmets are heavy. can't
see that they are pretty or that they
do any good. A rough brown hat
would last longer; il would not get dir
ty so soon. The men on the uniformed
force say they would like II better.
Il have heard from the Knights Of
Labor and from other labor organiza-
tions many times iatzly and have about
made up my mind to the change"
Employees Of the department trained
under Colonel Waring will make a
strong protest against the introduction
of brown felt hat in the place Of the
helmet.
