SEARCH CONTINUES.
Prince Edwards, Fosters Slayer, Has
 Not Been Apprehended.

Shreveport. June 16.-The search for Prince Edwards, the murderer of John Gray Foster, continues, though with in- different success. There seems to be no doubt that the negro being pursued in Northeast Texas is the man wanted, but the course of the darkey is so sinuous that it is extremely difficult to follow his trail. A telephone message received from Marshall, Texas, this afternoon says that the searchers are working night and day. Great difficulty Is experienced in extract ing information from the negroes in the country through which Edwards Is sup posed to have passed.
 All Is quiet at Benton. The sheriff says he apprehends no trouble. but is fully pre- pared to meet it should 1t come. He has large armed force in readiness and can put 1t in service at a moments notice. The temper of the public has cooled con- siderab1y.
