who could blame him?

Warehouse at Leesville.

Leesville, La. Aug. pa
contract has been closed with the
Farmers Union at Leesville for
the erection of a standardly
equipped warehouse at that point.
The Union will become a char
tered company, Incorporating
under the laws of the state for
$1,000. The warehouse system in
Texas, it is estimated, will save
the people of that state from ten
to twenty millions every year from
country damage alone besides
promoting a very pleasant and
harmless business relation and
condition between farmers, mer-
chant and banker. The business
men, alive to the advantages of a
centrally located warehouse. gave
a very liberal bonus to have II
erected at this point.

Went into Three Stores
Thursday Morning.
GOT ABOUT $25 CASH
He Tore to Pieces Two Cash
Drawers and Stole a
Pistol.

:. The stores of S. j. Harper,
O'Quin & Gibson and the Winn-
field Hardware 6 Furniture
Company, Limited, were bur-
glarized at an early hour Thurs
day morning. The cash drawer
In Harper's store was torn to
pieces and about $25 taken, some
thing like 50 of the amount
belonging to the store and the
balance belonging to the local
camp of Woodmen of the World.
Mr.. G. Nj. Durham, clerk of the
camp, who works in the store
having failed to deposit in the
bank the collections of dues made
Wednesday. All of the money
was silver and paper except one
small postal money order issued
at Guffey, Texas, and a check
for $3.50 drawn by 7. w. Parish.
The burglar entered the Harper
store by going through a second
story transom in the rear end of
the building.
The hardware store was entered
through a window in the rear
which opened into the office and
it was an easy matter to get from
there into the store. Nothing
has been missed from this store
except a 3S-caliber pistol.
The store of O'Quin & Gibson
was entered by prying open the
rear door. The cash drawer was
torn open and carried to the rear
of the building, but only one
dime had been left in it when
the store was closed. The burglar
appropriated the dime. If any
thing else was taken the clerks
have been unable to miss it.
/ The burglary took place some
time after midnight as electric
lights were burning in the stores
until IL o'clock and Marshal
lO'Mally was along that side OF
| the street until 11:30.
j This burglary business is get
ting annoying to the citizens OF
the town. They are getting tired
of sleeping behind barred doors
and windows. Now that the bus
mess houses have been attacked
a night policeman should be put
Ion to watch the business section.

Negro Lynched by Citizens
at Calhoun, La.
MADE FULL CONFESSION
Entered Young Ladies Bedroom
for Purpose Of Criminal
Assault.

Calhoun, La, Aug. 26.-Alfred
Schaufniet, a negro, was lynched
here at 10 o'clock this morning
by a mob for attempting to crimi-
nalIy assault Miss Olive Cham
bliss, . prominent young woman
of this place, at an early hour
this morning. At the time of the
lynching many of the women OF
the town, including Miss Cham
bliss, were ut church, or on their
way.
The lynching occurred IN the
heart of town and was carried on
without confusion or any attempt
at concealment on the part of the
citizens. After the negro had con-
tossed his guilt he was strung up
to q telegraph pole and this pla-
card placed on the body:
sThis is q warning to all negroes
who attempt to force an entrance
to the rooms of white women. l."
After the lynching was over.
hundreds of persons viewed the
swinging body which was allowed
to remain where it hung through
out the day as an object lesson.
Every one seemed pleased at the
swiftness of the justice meted out
to tue negro. The men taking
part in the lynching were all from
this town and were orderly and
determined.
Schaufniet, who was a negro
about 26 years old. met his death
coolly. He made a full confession
and said that he fully intended to
commit q criminal assault when
he entered the room of Miss
Chambliss.
About l o'clock tLis morning
Miss Chambiiss, who is a beauti-
full and popular young lady OF
Calhoun, was awakened by the
presence of q negro in her room.
He made q desperate attempt, to
commit q criminal assault. but
Miss Chambliss fought him of
valiantly and screamed for help.
The screams of the young lady
awoke the household but the ne
gro had fed before any one
reached the room. Miss Cham
bliss, however, had q splendid op-
poreunity of seeing who her as
sallant was and she was able to
furnish . most minute description
Of him. Posses were quickly or
psnized and the search in q sys'
tematic manner began. One posse
struck q trail before daylight and
traced the negro to the woods. he
did not offer resistance and was
brought to town. He was ques'
toned in the presence of . large
crowd of citizens and confessed
his guilt with GOODNESS and in
difference that amazed his hear
ers. They lost no time IN tying .
rope around his neck and placard
ing him.
Miss Chambllss sustained . few
scratches during the scuffie witt
her assailant. bit her injuries are
not serious.
