Proclamation bu the Governor
$3.50 Reward
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
STATE OF LOUISIANA.
j.. Il. MORINTINE,
Secretary

Whereas, official Information has
been communicated to me that some
time during the night of May 30th,
1905, a crowd Of men. whose names
are at this time unknown, did, at
Selma, in the parish of Grant, Louisi-
ana, unlawfullv fire into the quarters
occupied by laborers i'm the employ OF
the Grant Land & Lumber Co., which
company controls and operates ex-
tensive saw mill enterprises in the
aforesaid parish of Grant, and
Whereas, it appears that, at the
time of the said shooting the laborers
aforesaid were in peaceful pursuit OF
the occupations for which they had
been employed and to which they had
been assigned by the Grant Land &
Lumber Company, and had done
nothing to justify or excuse the as
sault upon them. and
Whereas, it appears thatsaid shoot
ing was an attempt at intimidation
and to drive away said labOrers from
the employ of said company and from
the country,
Now, therefore, I, Newton Grain
| Blanchard, Governor of the State oil
Louisiana, do issue this, my procla-
nation, calling on the law abiding
citizens of Grant parish to assist the
authorities in bringing to justice the
parties who participated in the un
lawful acts aforesaid.
And by virtue of the authority IL
me vested by law do hereby offer d
reward as follows, tO-wit:
The State of Louisiana will pay
Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars
($250.00) for the identification. arrest
and conviction of the men who com
posed the crowd that fired on the la
borers in the employ of the GRAM
Land and Lumber Company, at Sci
ma, La. on the night OF May 30th
1905. or who fired into or at the quar-
tiers occupied by them.
Or the State will pay One Hundred
Dollars (Sl00.00) for the Identification
arrest and conviction Of any one o
said crowd.
This offer of reward to remain ii
full force and effect for period of 81,
months from this date.
