Attempted Criminal Assault in
Caldwell Parish.

The Star has just received news
of an attempted criminal assault
on the night of March 4 by .
negro named Farris Washington
on the daughter of q highly
respected citizen of Caldwell
parish. The negro gained en-
trance to the young lady's room,
but her screams awakened her
father who fastened to her assist
ance. He was unarmed and in
a desperate fight the negro
knocked him down and escaped.
He managed to get his gun, how
ever, and fired upon the negro as
he ran, inflicting only slight
wounds, as the gun was loaded
with small shot.
An alarm was soon given and
the man hunt begun, which
lasted nearly week, the negro
having surrendered to officers at
Ola yesterday under promise of
projection from mob violence.
He was at once taken to Columbia
and locked up in the Caldwell
Jail. The Stars informant says
the evidence in the case is very
strong and there is little doubt of
the identity of the accused
Monroe Star.

A SOUTHERN MAN
Marion Butler, Former Democrat Later Popuist Senator
But Now Republican Statesman Mentioned as
Successor to Secretary Hitchcock

The report comes from Wash
lngton that the South is again to
be represented in the Cabinet,
the story going that Secretary
Hitchcock is to retire and be sue
ceeded by Marion Butler, one
time Democrat, later PopulIst
senator from North Carolina and
now a Republican statesman out
of job. Mr.. Butler is strong
man and there is not so much
objection to him entering the cab
met as there is to Mr.. Hitchcock
retiring. As secretary of the In

been player to the galleries, has
not raised aLy fuss and feathers,
but as silent, strong and per

government millions of dollars
and there is more work for him.

enough before him right here in

giving this section representation
in his official family. The South
is entitled to such representation
from every point of view and has
been unjustly Disseminated
against in not having been ae-
corded it under the present adj
ministration.
However, when the President
made up his official family his at
titude towards the South and the
South's attitude towards him was
far different to what they are
now and it is not to be particular
ly wondered at that the South did
not then receive recognition.
The President has given notable
evidence of the change on his
part and following his unparal-
lelled receptions on his two visits
to the South, which evidenced
the change in Southern senti-
ment, the hope naturally found
lodgment in the Southern mind
that he would 60 the one step
further and cement the feeling of
friendship, fellowship and COM
mon countryship by calling
Southerner to membership in the
cabinet. 1t has been a wonder
that he has not done so and if he

Primary Election for Mayor.

The primary election for mayor
passed off quietly. The interest
seemed more intense than the
previous election. 1t was impos-
slble to tell at any time during
the day, which of the candidates
would be elected. The count was
the only C hanee. The result
either way would have been no
surprise. Mr.. G.. NJ. Bevill, the
gentleman nominated for the
position of mayor. is a man in
whom every one has absolute
confidence as to his honesty of
character and integrity of pur-
pose. And those who voted
against him did not do so with
any thought of reflection on him.
He was born in the parish and
has always lived here. He has
been mayor once before and has
held other offices of trust all of
which he has held with honor to
himself and satisfaction to his
constituency.
Hon. Geo. A. Kelly, who was
defeated for the nomination.
should be proud of his very fiat
tering vote and the loyalty with
which his friends stood by him.
Mr.. Kelly takes his defeat phil
osophieally, without any of the
rankings that usually come with
defeat and he considers his defeat
a victory for himself.
Mr.. Bevill, who received the
nomination, has the chance of his
life to lend his hand in the up
building of the material welfare
and prosperity of the town of
Winfield. The Council W o
have been nominated and who
will be elected with him are all
men of ability and have the well
fare of the town at heart, and by
a united cooperation there can
be no reason why Winfield
should not forge to the front
rank of the cities in North
Louisiana.
We are ready and willing to
give him any assistance that may
lie in our power, land will say to the
new mayor and council as we
said to the old council and the
business men, that the columns
of the Southern Sentinel and the
feeble ability of its editor. are
open and at their service in the
advocacy of any proposition that
will rebound to the interest of
Winfield and Winn Parish.

GRAND CHALLENGE CUP
Won BY BELGIUM Grew
Historic Henley Boating Trophy
Leaves England's Shores for
the First Time.

HENLEY, England, July 5-The
crew representing the Club Nautique
de Gand (Belgium) defeated Trinity
Hall, Cambridge. today by three
lengths in the final for the Grand ChaI-
lenge cup. The time was 7 minutes 9
seconds. The cup thus leaves England
for the first time in its history, and for
the next twelve months will adorn the
headquarters of the Belgian rowing
club.
The ease with which the Belgians
beat the crack British crew was a
rather rough shock to the complacency
of the home oarsmen and to their be-
lief In the hitherto unshakable invinci-
bility of their rowing. Apart from the
momentary advantage at the start of
the race Trinity Hall was never in the
lead.
The Belgians held a lead of a length
at the one-fourth mile post. Trinity
Hall spurted and spurted again, but
made no impression on the BeIgians.
At the halfway mark the visitors were
two lengths in front and finished with
a lead of three clear lengths, the men
sitting up straight and not at all dis
tressed, while the Cambridge men were
thoroughly exhausted.
The short, quick stroke and lack of
leg work of the Belgians has been
criticised by the British experts since
the first appearance of the foreign
crew.

BRITT SEEKS A MATCH
With BATTLING NELSON
Boxer May Open Cafe in Oppo
sition to Those Controlled by
Cofroth and Graney.

Jimmy Britt is back from the East
and says he is here to fight anybody in
his class-Nelson preferred.
He does not like the East, as there is
nothing doing in his line why" said
Jimmy, everything there is dead slow
compared with this city. 1 would
rather be here in this city as it now
stands than any place 1 know OF. I
don't know exactly What l shall do
here, but it is my present intention to
open a cafe and grill. l think l could
make such an undertaking go. This
city looks better to me a thousand
times over than when l left here two
months ago. AS far as fighting here is
concerned, / want to see the managers
come to some amicable settlement of
their differences. 1 don't care under
what management fight so long as the
sport is kept up here"
Britt displayed the latest New York
style In clothes in his stroll up and
down Fillmore street.
If Terry McGovern wants a match in
this city he must come as a supplicant
for the favors of the promoters and not
in the guise of a dictator When Man
ager Jim Coffroth heard of Terry's de-
mand for a $4,000 guarantee. win or
lose. or draw. and other impossible
conditions, he said:
Terry McGovern and any man
matched with him will be allowed
sixty per cent of the gross receipts
and no more. / would not consider
McGoyern's extraordinary demands for
a moment At the height of his career
he never received the amount he now
demands. The most he ever received
was $4,000 for fighting Frank Erne in
Madison Square Garden, New York.
He drew $20SS0 in this city with
Young Corbett and his losers share
was $4,000. l don't understand why
he should have such big notions now
I'VE will have a big fight in new
pavilion in this city on the last night
in August. There is still possibility
that the card will be Britt and Nc
Govern. l have also match in view
between Eddie Hanlon and Dick Hy-
land.
The fight trust? oh, we have not
had a meeting since March and I don't
know where we stand. The August
date belongs to Willus Britt's Golden
Gate Club"
Coffroth will undoubtedly control any
match made by Britt. To paraphrase
famous philosopher. When the big
promoter has cold in his head, Britt
sneezes."
Manager Coffroth, with Wiilus and
Mrs. Britt. leaves for Los Angeles to-
day. His visit has no connection with
Show Jim Jeffries a live one and he
will be ready TO fight at short notice.
During Coffroth's absence a cafe will
be fitted UP on Ellis street for him. 1t
will be called The Willus," and will be
a rival to Eddie Graney's place, "The
Tuxedo" and to Jimmy Britts cafe for
the patronage of the sporting men.
