GIFT FOR DETROIT
A Fountain Made OF EAnse
Brownstone Presented to tho
City for Belle Isle.

Among the many added features
on Belle Isle, Detroit's beautifu
park, which will be noted by early
spring visitors, the drinking foun
tain from the Pan-American ex
position may be classed with the
more important. This fountain,
which is OF L'Ause brownstone,
from the Lake Superior quarries ai
LAnse, was given to the city by
the L'Anse Brownstone company,
and the freight was paid on it to
Detroit with the proviso that II
should be placed on Belle Isle. IT
was secured through the influence
of George H. Barbour and Park
Commissioner r. E. Bolger.
The fountain is built in the form
OF an arch of beautifully cut stones
At either side large vase is built
for flowers, and there are places for
both hydrant and ice water. The
face is inscribed with the words:
Presented by the L'Anse Brown
stone Co., of Chicago, Ill"
In addition to presenting this
drinking fountain for persons, the
also gave two immense
blocks Of the redstone for a fountain
for horses, the only cost to the city
being the freight from the quarries.
One OF these stones weighs about
eight tons. the other six. They
are lying by the fountain, waiting
to be cut and put in place. Com
missioner Bolger estimates that for
this work between $500 and s400
will be required. The fountain
stands only a short distance from
the new horticultural building.

New Orleans, Feb. 20.-After holding
half hundred bluecoats at bay for
several hours. during which scores OF
shots were exchanged. Lafayette Sims,
a desperate negro, was killed by the
police early this morning in negro
boarding house. 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
he attempted to escape, still carrying
gun, he was shot down. The body was
taken to the morgue without any
Thousand negroes. Intense excitement
prevailed while the siege lasted.
The origin of the trouble was, trivial.
Sims occupied a room in the boarding
house in which there were seven beds.
On retiring last night he locked the
door and when the landlord early today
asked him to open it so that another
lodger might be admitted Sims refused.
Then the landlord sent for the police.
All efforts to persuade Sims to open
the door failed and a hole was smashed
in It. Thru the aperture Sims shot
out Of the other OF Officer Windstein,
who tried to enter. Thereupon add.
tional police were sent for and the house
surrounded but all efforts to induc.
the prisoner to surrender having proved
Iabortive, Superintendent Journee
turned in an alarm cf fire and por-
ton of the fire department was brought
to the scene Blazing cotton rolled in
balls and saturated with oil and sui (
phar were hurled into the room. Every
avenue OF escape is being guarded BY
policemen. The furniture caught
quickly, filling the place with smoke
and flame. Sims hung on to his hiding
|place until he nearly suffocated and
then made break to escape. AS he
|appeared at the door, Patrolman Smith
fired at him. The negro staggered,
mortally wounded. Instantly another
policeman fired on him. He dropped
dead. The firemen ran lead OF hose
into the building and extinguisbed Tho
flames and the body was dragged ont
and driven thru a lane Of excited ne
groes to the police station.
