TWO PLANTERS
ASSASSINATED
KILLED FROM AMBUSH IN
LONELY SPOT.
PUBLIC GREATLY EXCITED
People Of Bossier Parish Are Anxi-
ously Awaiting Developments, the
Affair Being Shrouded in the Deep
est Mystery.

Shreveport.-A foul double murder
was unearthed a few miles above
Bolinger when the bodies of }. +.
Delaney. and L. P. Role Williams
were found on the roadside, both hav-
ing been shot to death. There is, SO
far, not the slightest trace OF the
unknown assassin or assassins.
The bodies were discovered by DR..
Lyons, of Bolinger. who was riding
along the road. He noticed two OBJ
jects lying motionless on one side, and
dismounting, approached them and
was shocked to discover that they
were human bodies and both well
known citizens Of the parish.
A hurried investigation showed that
both men had been shot to death. The
affair is shrouded in the deepest mys-
terry. The place where the murder
occurred is lonely and isolated spot,
and it is not known what enticed the
two victims there. Both men lived
near Bolinger, but the road upon
which they met their death from un-
known hands would have taken them
far out Of their way and, so far as
known, they had no regular business
travelling that way. 1t is supposed
that whatever called the two unfor-
tunate men to the place it was some
unexpected business or event. From
the conditions surrounding the affair,
lis possible that both planters might
have been ambushed and killed.
1t can not be ascertained at pres
ent whether the two victims were rid
ing or walking along the road when
the shots that ended their lives were
fred.
The community is highly wrought
up over the dastardly deed and every
effort is being made to obtain some
clew as to who the assassins were.
Details are very meagre and little
more than the above facts are known
at Plain Dealing.
The bodies remained on the road
side undisturbed for several hours.
It was since learned that the two
men had been in Plain Dealing that
morning, and had left in a wagon.
When found, one of the bodies was
lying by the side of the road, and the
other in the wagon. The mules had
pulled aside and were quietly stand
ing in the brush, when the physician
in passing discovered the bodies.
