Think Drowned Man was a Sailor

Think Drowned Man was Sailor.
Last night Bernard Oetken, Joseph
earle, and Charles Olsen, sailors from
the schooner Nellie w. Craig, Capt.
Lane, which is at this port, called at
police headquarters to inquire if com
panion, Frederic Dahl, was locked up.
when asked for a description of their
friend they said he was a Norwegian,
forty-six years old, and gave descrip-
ton which correspondent almost exactly
with that of the drowned man found yes
terday in a dock north Of FishtOwn and
which was at first supposed to be that Of
Albert Lyles, a native ofthis city. The
sailors were shown the shoes that were
removed from the corpse and they identi-
fed them as those of their friend. The
body which was found yesterday had APP
parently been in the water eight or ten
davs. and was in an advanced stage OF
decomposition. Dahl had been missing
only since last Saturday night aud this
fact is hard toexplain. Many, however,
believe that the remains found in the
dock yesterday we're those of Dahl, and
this belief is heightened by the fact that
early Sunday morning acting Chief Of
Police Knight and Officer Gill heard
cries of murder in the direction of
the wharf of the fertilizer company.
They hurried in that direction and made
n close examination, but all was quiet
when they arrived. 1t is presumed that
Dahl attempted to board the schooner,
fell into the water, and. being unable to
regain the wharf, used the cry OF 'mur-
DER as most likely to bring assistance
Dahl shipped from New York on the
Craig on August 10.

FATAL ARRAY In a struggle to
get possession of a tin dipper, the value
of which was not more than 5 cents,
riot resulted Sunday afternoon at Mad
densviIe, about ten miles from Culpeper,
in which two of the participants were
shot to death and three more are now
in Jail. All the participants were
colored. The negroes were holding an
all-day religious meeting at Maddens-
Vile. and. as is usual upon these occas-
ions, a great crowd attended the meeting,
Culpeper supplying its full quota
mostly of the younger element. The
antaeonism between the town negroes
and the country negroes was the cause oil
trouble. As the result of the struggle
for possession of the dipper it was found
that Walter Reed, of Culpeper, had.been
badly beaten. The leaders of the country
crowd, when they discovered that Reed
was injured, tried to make their escape,
but were pursued by Arthur Reed,
Robert Clark, and James b. Tucker, all
town negroes, and friends OF Reed
They were overtaken in front OF tht
church. and there ensded rough'and
tumble fight. One negro of the country
crowd was shot, and died almost instant
Iy. Several negroes rushed to aveIng'
the death of their comrade. Arthu
Reed, brother of Walter Reed, wlti
his friends, gave fight, and several OF tn
country negroes ran into tho church
pursued by their assailants. One OF IN
country negroes fell with three bullet
in his body. He died soon afterward

THE POLICE JURY.

We are now on the eve of a po-
litioal struggle, and as we will not
have to deal with disinterested pa
triots, but with a lot of greedy po-
liticians, all looking after the fat
test Office. we, the people, the tax
PAYERS, the business community
who have at stake great interest,
commercial and industrial, have
nothing to expect of the politi-
clans, and as rule, these politi-
clans always bargain the police
iuries to some ambitious persons
Who are not after fat jobs but who
are satisfied with a little glory,
and with the view of capturing a
few votes controlled by these per-
sons, the politicians sacrifice the
interest of the parish.
The present police jury is not
competent to run intelligently the
affairs of the parish, though per-
hsps they have done their best,
but they are not up to the task, as
Q whole, some of the members may
be qualified, but they are in the
minority. The people, the voters.
the tax payers are the masters. the
rulers of the parish. and they, and
they alone should dictate to the
politicians who should BIZ the can
didates for all the Office, and not
forget or neglect the important Of
fee Of police juror.
The police jury has the expen-
diture Of some $40, 900 or $25, OOC
every year, and we are satisfied
that money is not economically
expended, az it could be because
the police juries are always too Ii
beral in their appropriations, al
though the present one has MOI
been as extravagant as others.
In view of this fact, We believt
il would be we'll for our people to
select their own police jurors be
cause of their fitness and qualifca
ton, and not allow the Politician
10 impose upon them candidates
who can only furnish few votes
get men for their business ability
and not for the little political pull
they can bring to the candidates
~ the people should not look afte
the interest of the candidates 70
paying political offices, but the!
should protect their own interes
by selecting and electing active
intelligent business men as tn
members of their police jury.
