FIVE KILLED IN
AN EXPLOSION
House Occupied by Negro and
His Family at Ruston Blown
UP by Dynamite.

thought that a boiler in som
power plant had blown up, bn
Investigation proved that a mos
dastardly outrage had been com
mitted. The house occupied b,
Sam Cook, one-armed negro
and his family had been complete
ly wrecked by an explosion o.
dynamite.
There were nine people in the
house Mt the time of the explos.
ion, Cook. his wife and six chill.
dren and a boy visitor. OF these,
four were killed outright, one
died today at noon and the other
four escaped alive. The three
boys were practically unhurt, but
the girl was injured about the
back.
The house was blown to splin-
tiers, and how any of the occup-
ants escaped with their lives is a
mystery.
The body of the negro woman
was blown up through a gum tree
which stood fully forty feet from
where the bed was located in
which she was asleep and came
down through the branches of the
tree and the telephone wires in
the street, shapeless mass of
bruised aud bleeding human flesh.
The body of the negro Sam Cook.
could not be located at first, and
it was only after a search of about
an hour that it was finally found
in the fork of this same gum tree,
about twenty-five feet from the
ground, where it had lodged.
The body of the baby was found
nearest the house, with Its head
blown off, and near by it was also
found the body of girl about Ia
years old, while the other girl,
who afterward died. was found in
the fence corner. Whoever ham
died the dynamite knew how it
should be done, as the work was
most thorough. A piece of fuse
wire several feet long was found
in the street just east of the house,
and this was evidently the point
from which the charge was touch
ed off. The charge was evidently
q heavy one, and was placed
directly under the bed occupied
by Cook and his wife.
Windows were broken in all the
surrounding dwellings and pieces
of wreckage were scattered every.
where within q radius of fifty
yards.
Crowds of people visited the
scene this morning and witnessed
the gruesome sight. Every one
condemns the outrage and hopes
that the guilty party or parties
will speedily be brought to justice.
The parish and city authorities
were on the scene from the begin
ming. and every effort to appre
bend the perpetrator of this foul
deed will be made.
The funerals of the victims
were held this afternoon, and the
bodies of all FIVE were conveyed
to the cemetery and inferred at
the same time.
The people of our city are stir
red up as they never have been
before, and public sentiment is
such that the officials, both city
and parish. will strain every nerve
to bring the guilty scoundrels to
Justice, rs the fair name of our
city demands that this outrage
not go unpublished.
