The Blackfoot democrat sometimes
speaks without due consideration. In

been in Boise long enough to take three

The Killing of Riley b. Wright.

The Killing of Riley Ii. Wright.
On Sunday, February 21st, while
trying to arrest Shep Davis, a negro
dive keeper in the town of Winfield,
Riley B. Wright, deputy sheriff and
deputy town marshal, was shot and
killed by the negro, who made his es-
cape to the woods and has not yet
been captured. The murder appears
to have been unprovoked and entirely
malicious The citizens are reported
to be greatly wrought up over the
dastardly deed, and if the negro Is
caught he will very likely have swift
vengeance meted out to him. The
Monroe News contains the following
particulars about the killing:
The negro is supposed to have been
raised at or near Homer or Haynes
vile, in Claiborne parish, where it is
thought he has friends and may go
for assistance. He ran blind tiger
and IA disreputable house, in which
there we're a lot of negro women
These women had often been arrested
in the effort to break the place up
R. B. Wright, deputy sheriff, was
given warrant for the arrest of Da-
Wis. He went to the house Sunday
night, between 8 and 10 O'Clock to
effect an arrest, taking with him a
nephew, Floyd Long, youth about
nineteen years old. Wright left the
boy outside and went into the house,
closing the door behind him. Shoot
ing began almost Immediately after
the officer got in the room. Five
shots were fired in quick succession.
Floyd Long, the nephew, forced his
way into the room, the negro at the
same time almost running over Long
in getting out. Wright was lying on
the floor, dying. The boy asked if he
was hurt. Wright replied: "He has
killed me-" Those were his lastwords.
1t is supposed that the negro was
concealed In a corner when Wright
went into the room, and shot the Off
Ger in the back, the first shot pros
tratiug him. Mr.. Wright was shot
through the body four times, and one
shot through the arm, every shot
passing in at the back and clear
through, coming out at the front.

Only four more days to register.

The Chronicle received a call on
last Monday from Mr.. j. R. Witt, of
Winfield, who had been on a weeks
visit to his son at Melville, La. Mr..
Witt is the marshal of Winfield, and
while here was very anxious to get
back home on account of the killing
of Mr.. Riley B. Wright, in Winfield,
on Sunday by a negro named ALI.
Shepard, alias Shep Davis. Mr.. Witt
had appointed Mr. Wright as his
deputy before going away, and under
the circumstances it was very natural
for him to wish to get home as soon
as possible. He tried to get off on a
freight train, but being informed be
could not get through any sooner
than by the regular train at night,
he waited for the night train.

An Unwarranted Comment.

In an interview with Judge w. F.
Blackman this morning he told The
News that the criminal case of Mrs.
SaviIla Roberts promises to be very
sensational. owing to the fact that
later developments may prove sever
al Others to be implicated in the muir
der of r. H. Williamson besides her
self and Charles Denton. The senti-
ment in COlfax seems to be in favor
of the woman, because, it is said, she
killed a very bad man. As Denton
has many warm friends in Colfax, the
authorities may have him removed
to Alexandria for safe keeping this
week.
The above comment appeared in
the Alexandria Daily News of Feb.
oath. Judge Blackman must have
taken an unusual mixture of toddies
that day to have caused him to be SO
very communicative about this case
His supposItion that the sentiment
in Colsax is in favor of the woman is
entirely erroneous, and his assump-
ton as to the other facts we feel Ger
tain are equally without warrant.

A suit was decided in the g. S. court
in Shreveport on Thursday of this
week which is very important to a
large number of Louisianians. By
order of Judge Boarman the jury in
the case brought in a verdict which
in effect is in favor of settlers to ripa-
rian lands adjoining their holdings.
The case will in all likelihood be car
ried through all the courts OF appeal
before final settlement, as the inter-
ests involved are very great, and
none of the parties will rest content
with a decision short of the final
court of appeal for such matters.

The removal of Centenary College
from Jackson, La, to Shreveport
will probably be carried out. The
committee in charge of the proposed
removal has agreed that if Shreve-
port will give $4,000 toward the
removal it will be done. The city
council has formally accepted the
proposition. and will order an cleo
ton to vote a 2-mill tax for several
years in ratifica ton OF the contract,
which if done will insure the removal
contemplated. The conference also
proposes to raise and expend the
same amount upon the college build
ings that the city may give.
