A WoULD-BE MURDERER.
Attends His Mothers Funeral and
Then Walks Off and is
Still at Large.

Some funny things happen among
the negroes these days, and it shows
that in some instances they will take
almost any kind of risk to be in as
ISOLATION with crowd of their own
kin and kind. Here is an instance,
that while it is a peculiar one, at the
same time it is rehectin on the Off
GERS of Coyington county who have
taken the oath to preserve the peace
and dignity of the law and bring to
trial all those who violate the law.
A week or two ago young negro
man and an older one got into diff
Guilty at Niger Ridge" in the north
ern part of that county. During the
fuss the young negro drew his pistol
and shot the old negro through the
calf of the leg. Then he picked up
himself and walked away with as
much unconcern as if he had shot a
snake.
His mother, who was an old woman.
did not hear of the circumstance at
the time, but few days thereafter
her son failing to show up she made
inquiries about him when some one
told her that he had "gone and shot
a niger" and was then lying out to
keep the officers from catching him.
The old woman, who was known to be
troubled with heart disease, at once
proceeded to have a fit and in ten
minutes she was about as dead as a
negro could be. In other words she
toppled over and died in a few min
utes. Then the negroes of the neigh
borehood in honor of the old kreter,
concluded to give her grand send off
to the other world by making hel
funeral an occasion for the largest
attendance that ever occurred III that
section, for the old woman was well
liked in the neighborhood.
So those who were harboring the
son somewhere out in the woods tol6
him all about it when he concluded
| that he could not miss such goo(
thing or sad thing, we are not pre-
pared to say which. So he put OF
the best riggings he could get hands
on and was one of the first to enter
the funeral procession. He went tt
the grave, saw his mother buried anC
then walked away again. And thu
officers but they don't attend Negro
funerals.

CROWD AT THE REUNION.

The visitors to New Orleans during
the recent reunion have very pleasant
things to say of this city and their
visit here. 1t is no easy matter for
any community to entertain more
than hundred thousand guests, all
plunged upon it suddenly, as st. Louis
found only the other day on the dedi-
cation of the exposition; but New
Orleans has agian shown its ability
to handle large crowds comfortably
and without confusion or friction.
A long parade in city as far south
as New Orleans is naturally regarded
as vrey severe test for even young
men at this season of the year, anC
more so like the veterans, most OF
them past sixty. 1t was feared that
the strain and fatigue would be toe
much for them, and provision wa,
made for this emergency by having {
number of ambulances in line. For
| tunately, they were not needed; ant
| the fact that the veterans marched
several miles in the sun without in
jury to themselves at time of tn,
year when people in the northern
cities are dying by the score from
sunstroke is a tribute to New Orleans
summer climate. New Orleans Item
