Lincoln County Man Murdered In
Louisiana.

Last Saturday night, while I.
Lowell Wainwright was on his
way home, he was met in the road
near Sandy Creek by one James
Wade, and after the exchange of a
few words, Wade sent a bullet
through Wainwright's body that
caused almost instant death.
James Wade, as we'll as his vic
tim, was drinking and had had a
fuss and had fired one shot at
Wainwright in Honeycutt's sta
BILE about 30 minutes before they
met in the road. James left the
stable swearing that he would
kill Lowell before he quit, and
went to some place and procured
a lantern, got his horse and rode
off. After things had settled
down, Wainwright started home
in company with Elmer Grand
staff, and just before reaching
Sandy Creek bridge, met James
Wade coming toward Pollock.
Wade did not have his lantern
lighted, but forced and ordered
Grandstaff to light it for him.
After he had fixed the light he
asked Grandstaff to take a drink
with him, and wanted Grandstaff
to put his hand in his pocket and
get the bottle, he (Wade) keeping
his hand in his own pocket all this
time. He then accused Lowell of
looking for him, which he denied,
telling him "that he was looking
for no one, but was going home. y
Wade said he was liar and pull
ed his gun on him. Grandstaff
pulled his hand away and finally
persuaded Wade to 60 on and let
Lowell alone. James started on,
but after going few steps, turn
ed back and again attacked Vain
wright, cursing and swearing, and
pulled his gun. Wainwright re-
piled and Wade shot him; then
Lowell fired one shot at his assail-
ant walked off about thirty steps
and fell dead. James Wade
mounted his horse and made his
escape, going to the home of some
of his friends and then to parts
unknown.
The deceased was a man of con-
siderable energy and had accumu-
lated some property; had many
friends, as result of his kind and
clever way. He had a fault-that
of drink-but when at himself he
was big-hearted and was an all
around good fellow, while his
slayer was a notorious tough, hav-
ing served Jail sentences for fight
ing, conceald weapons, BULLDOG
ing, shooting into private resi-
dences, and many other things.
His father, however, Hon. Lee
Wade, is a real good old gentle
man.
Lowell Wainwright was the
eldest son of G. w. Wainwright,
large property owner in this
town, and has been identified with
our parish as a good citizen fol
many years.
The above is copied from a
Louisiana exchange. Lowell
Wainwright was born in Lincoln
county and moved with his father,
G. W. Wainwright, to Pollock,

It will be good news to mothers of
small children to learn that Group can
be prevented. The first sign of Group
is hoarseness. A day or two before the
attack the child becomes hoarse. This
is soon followed by peculiar rough
cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy freely as soon as the child be-
comes hoarse, or even after the rough
cough appears, and it will dispel all
symptoms of Group. In this way all
danger and anxiety may be avoided.
This remedy is used by many thous-
ands of mothers and has never been
known to fail. It is, in fact, the only
remedy that can always be depended
upon and that is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by G. e. Grafton Drug
