Nt6RO'S BLOODY WORK


Louis Dohsrty dead
Lena noughefty, fatally wounded
Rufus James. slightly wounded
The above Is In brief the story of
fatal shooting affray which occur
red AT about ! O'Clock last night In
the negro settlement IN Ennis.
From the facts which have been
ascertained IL appears that Louis
Dougherty went To the home OF A .
l. Biggins, colored. on North Preston
street to see his wife from whom he
has been separated about two weeks
He was armed with revolver and
as he approached the door Rufus
James, a brother-in-law of Dougher-
ty was just leaving the house
Dougherty began shooting at James
but only one shot took effect, In
flicting painful wound in the hip.
DougherU then entered the house
and shot his wife. Lena Dougherty
the ball entering just below the heart
and passing through her body. The
negro then walked deliberately out
Into the yard. placed the muzzle of
the revolver against the side of his
head and sent bullet crashing
through his brain. Death ensued in
stantly. The body of the dead negro
was taken to an undertaker's es-
tablishment and prepared for burial
Lena Dougherty was removed to
the sanitarium and attended by ply
sicians. At last reports from Ennis
she was still alive, but there is no
hope for her recovery.
The wound received by James is
not regarded as being serious. He is
quite prominent among the colored
population of Ennis, and for several
years past he has been connected
with the live stock department of
the Houston and Texas Central.

Chairman G. A. Bangs Of Spec
ial Endowment Rank Com
mittee to Attend Important
Chicago Meeting.

Attorney G.. A. Bangs will leave
Monday evening for Chicago where he
Will attend very important meeting
of the Special Endowment Rank Com
mittee of the Knights of Pythias of
which he is chairman.
AT the last national convention of
the order a resolution was adopted
creating the commission and instruct
ing Its members to investigate the en-
dowment features of the order as to
whether or not the same were being
conducted along economical and salts
factory lines, and for the best inter-
ests of the members.
Meetings have been held and the
committee, together with the board of
control of the Endowment rank have
probed the matter carefully with the
very satisfactory result of finding this
department of the order in excellent
condition, In fact, equal to any and all
fraternal insurance systems in exist
ence.
The committee will report to the
convention of the Supreme lodge
which Is to meet in October at New
Orleans, the results of the investiga-
tions
s. H. Wolfe of New York city, an ex-
pert actuary who has but recently
concluded the SUPPLEMENTARY of an
investigation of three of the big in
surance companies, was secured by
the commission and that the work has
been thoroughly and exhaustive is
certain.
The committee is composed of the
following: Chairman, Geo. A. Bangs,
Grand Forks; Zeno M. Host, Wiscon-
sin; Union B. Hunt, Indiana; Carl
kuehnlem Denison, Iowa; John M.
Adams, Fort Worth, Tex.
The happy conditions found by the
committee will make unnecessary any
radical changes and members of the
order are exceedingly gratified at the
results. Chairman Bangs anticipates
pleasant and profitable trip to the
windy city.

States Attorney Wineman Issues Or.

GERS I'm the County-Fire Safety Pro.
visions of Law Must Be Enforced,

States Attorney ]. B. Wineman has
issued orders to all mayors and presi-
dents of village councils, school board
officials, ETC., throughout the county
of Grand Forks that they must comply
with the law governing fire escapes
and outward swinging doors. All
school houses must be provided with
outward swinging doors as well as
churches, halls. hotels, factories. or
any other place where people congrer
gate in numbers. The states attorney
is in earnest and will see the thing
through.
He has instructed Chief Runge of
the fire department of Grand Forks to
inspect all fire escapes on all build
ings in the city, except private resi-
dences. where there can be no dan
ger from fire. The chief is hard at
work, but has found no building COM
plying with the law. 1t is a safe
guess that there is not one in the
city which has an escape from each
room.
