HELD 50 POLICEMEN AT BAY.
A Negro Desperate In New Orleans Be-
Sieged In Room and Holds the Port
Against all Corners.

New Orleans, La, February 90
After holding half hundred police
men at bay for several honrs. during
which scores Of shots we're exchanged,
Lafayette Sims, a desperate negro,
was killed by the police early today
III negro boarding house situated
on south Rampant street. The room
in which he was besieged had to be
set on fire and the fire department
called out before Sims could be
driven from his post. As be at
tempted to escape, still carrying his
gun, he was shot down. The body
was taken to the morgue without any
demonstration from mob of several
thousad negroes, who crowded the
vicinity of the tragedy.
The origin of the trouble was
trivial. Sims occupied room in
the boarding house, in which there
were seven beds. On retiring last
night he locked the door and when
the landlord early this morning
asked him to open it 30 that another
lodger might be admitted Sims re-
fused. Then the landlord sent for
the police. Efforts to persuade Sims
to open the door failed and a hole
WAS smashed in it, Through the
aperture Sims began shooting. One
bullet knocked a pistol from the
fingers of Officer Windstern and a
| second shattered the lantern which
the officer carried. Thereupou ad .
dltional policemen were sent for and
the house surrounded.
When reinforcements had arrived
the negro landlord and All officer
again went to the room and pleaded
with Sims to come out aud surrender,
"No. WON'T" he answered with
an oath. "Pll shoot if You don't
go away; L am not going to leave
here. They'll burn me in OIL They'll
try me-"
Sims piled some furniture in the
room against the door and was pre-
| pared to fight for his life. As the
landlord and the officer retreated the
| desperndo fired at them without
doing any damage. All efforts to
induce the prisoner to surrender
having proved ineffective, Snperin.
tendent Journee decided that there
WAS nothing to be done but to smoke
the negro ont. An alarm WAS turned
in and potion CT the fire depart
ment brought to the scene.
A quantity Of cotton, oil and s;.l-
| phur WAS sent for, the cotton rolled
into balls and saturated with oil, q
match applied and the blazing sub
stance hurled into the room, every
avenue of escape being guarded.
| The furniture in the room caught
quickly, filling the place with smoke
aud flame. Sims hung on to mis- hid
ing place until ho was nearly suffo-
coted and then made a break to
escape. AS he appeared at the door
P"'rolman Fred Smith fired at him.
The negro staggered, mortally
wounded. Instantly other policemen
fired on him and ae fell dead. The
tiremen ox!ingnished the flames and
tn" body was dragged out and taken
through lane Of excited negroes to
the police station.
Examination Of the room follow
ing the tragedy showed that Sims
had gotten possession of Officer

Weak
People

It's not what we eat, but what
we digest that makes strength. /
The trouble with most weak
people is, they can neither cat nor
digest good food.
Such people can't work success
fully. 1t takes fuel to make steam,
and it takes food to make strength.
A young fellow came in the
store the other day. He was
white and thin. "I'm afraid I'll
have to give up my job," said he.
"I'm tired before the day is half
gone. I seem to be losing strength
all the time"
The clerk said: Fred, I know
something that will help you. It's
Vinol. The boss has got hold Of
a way to prepare cod liver oil SO it
tastes all right. He calls it Vinol.
There is iron in it, and it's just the
stuff for fellows like you. It'll
give you All appetite. 1t won't
hurt you anyway. Lots Of folks
round here are taking it, and they
tell their friends, and they come
and get it. If it don't help you,
come back and get your money"
We endorse what the clerk said.
We wouldn't have put time, money
and reputation into Vinol, if we
hadn't known it was different from
the general run of medicines.
About ninety-eight out of one
hundred run down people, weak
mothers, pale children, and old
people find it helps them.

BECAUSE A SMOKER.
Saw Big Tree Falling IN Time to Warn
Comrades to Fly for Their Lives.

Es .'H
The fact that certain man at a
certain moment was seized
with desire to light his
pipe, is believed to have saved six
men from terrible trouble in Kings
Valley the other day. The men
were Luckiamute loggers. employ
ed at the Miller camp. They were
building a roadway. In the pro-
cess of their operations, a huge tree
had been cut, but in its descent it
had lodged against a big snag
which held it suspended at con-
siderable distance from the ground,
directly over where the men wor-
ked. It-seemed however. to be Sc
cure1y fastened there, and the men
went on with their work. \
Suddenly one of the men yelled a
hurried note of alarm to his COM
rades. He had raised from his
work to light his pipe, and as he
did so he observed a slight move
ment of the tree. A gust of wind
was dislodging it from its resting
place. : Even as the men were run
ming for their lives it came down
with aterrible crash. Nearly all ofthe
men had brush with the extreme
ends of the limbs, and several
knocked down; but none were in
jured. One of the men when he
saw the tree coming, dropped into
the hole he was digging, and was
so covered by the debris that his
companions had to dig him out.
