MARSHAL PATTERSON
SHOT BY NEGRO.
Bad Negro Near Dodson Creates
Considerable Trouble.

Dodson, twelve miles north OF
Winfield, has been in a fever of
excitement this week because of
a bad negro. Last week Curly
Dill, a negro who has an unss-
worry reputation, got into trouble
with Mr.. j. b. Milan, who is
well known, he having been q
candidate in the recent primary
election for the :office of sheriff.
The negro drew a gun on MIR.
Milan and threatened to kill
him. Mr.. Milan got away from
him, however, and swore out q
warrant for his arrest. Monday
deputy sheriffs from WINFIELD,
went to search for the negro and
secured the assistance of Marshal
Patterson of Dotlson. They
located the negro in a house q
few miles from Dodson. and as
they were closing in on the house
the negro shot the Marshal as he
was getting over the fence some
twenty steps from where the
negro was standing in the house.
The charge of buckshot struck
the Marshal lin the left hip. He
raised his gun and fred at the
negro but probably missed him.
They fred another shot simulta-
neously, each charge taking
effect in the shoulder and arm of
the men dong the shooting.
After being wounded the negro
ran out of the house and made
for the woods. He was shot al
several times. bus could Not, bs
stopped.
The wounded Marshal was car
ried to Dodson and placed under
the care of a physician and il
has been found that he is moi
dangerously wounded. A posse
of-the citizens of the community
organized and went in persuit o.
the negro, but up to this time
have not captured him.

SMALL POX Is
BEING SCATTERED.
Industrial Institute is Clossd
On Account of'the Disease.


The Louisiana Industrial In
stltute located at Ruston was
closed last week for an indefi-
mite period on account of small
pox breaking out among the
pupils attending the Institute.
The newspapers of Ruston say
not . word about the matter, but
the Democrat at Mihden has the
following in its last issue:
Smallpox was imported into
the Flat Lick community, about
twelve miles above here, this
week by Miss Minis, a daughter
of the late Henry Minis of that
community.
'.She was attending the Indus
trial Institute at Ruston and the
disease broke out in school and
tho management sent all the
pupils home. She passed through
this place by team with an escort
from Ruston. She met several
people here but was heavily
yelled so that the nature of the
disease was not disclosed at the
time.
'sIt is much regretted that this
institute Of learning should i'm
pose such q hardship upon the
people Of this state. who have
helped to make the school what
it is, and send this much dreaded
disease into their homes. Min.
den has always held her sister
/ city in higher esteem than tc
think she would be guilty of such
| an act. That other cases should
break out in this town or parish
would be no surprise.

TO DOUBLE
THE CAPACITY.
Output Of the Handle Factory
VIII Be Increased.

At q meeting of the board OF
directors of the Winfield Han
die and Manufacturing Company
held Monday evening it was de-
cided to increase the capacity Of
the plant to double what it is
now. A new lathe will be pur-
chased and installed at once and
instead of q capacity of thirty
dozen handles per day the plant
will be- capable of turning out
sixty dozen. This is made nec-
esssry in order for the company
to accept orders already receiv-
ed. In case of an emergency q
night crew can be put on and the
plant made to turn out l2O han
dies per day as soon as this
new lathe is installed, but it is
hardly probable that such an
immergency will arise. HoweveF
the company desires to take care
of all orders received and will not
fail to do everything necessary
to supply the trade with the
excellent handles now being
made from the fine timber in
this section for which there IS an
increasing demand.

day, April 3, the cause Of the fire be-
ing mystery, as the school had not
been open since March 20. because of
the Easter vacation. When discov-
cred, the flames were on the second
floor but q high wind was blowing
and in two hours the building was In
ruins. A barn, a quarter of a mile
away, owned by Robert Rogers,
caught fire, probably from falling
sparks, and was destroyed. The
building was erected in 1870 at a cost
of 100000, and accommodated 500 pu-
pills. There is still one bond of origi-
nal Indebtedness TO be paid. The
building was insured for $4,000.
