1907 A YEAR OF DISASTER

CHICAGO. June 13--Although the
first half Of 1907 has nos passed, sta
tlstics compiled by the tribune show
that the record Of casualties already
exceeds the total of 1906 There have
been sS railroad accidents of more
than the ordinary magnitude, in which
27s persons have been killed and 925
injured. Twenty-three steamers have
been wrecked. involving the loss Of so2
lives.
There have been 12 mine accidents,
in which 1865 persons have persisted.
These casualties have been due TO
human negligence or ignorance in
large part. but nature has been de-
suuctive also. Tidal waves have swept
away 224o. earthquakes 5l00. hurricanes
$50 but cyclones thus far have been
comparatively mercifu. the deaths
numbering thus far only 20, exclusive
OF the loss OF life at kurrachi, India.
When TO these totals is added the
sum of smaller casualties there can be
little doubt that 1907 viii be known IN
history as the year or disasters

fit of the park board for the purpose Of

COMMENT UNNECESSARY.


1t is hard for the Shreveport Times
editorial columns to contain themselves
nowadays One day Wilkinson would
make a pretty fair Governor, and the
next-well. he is almost an undesirable
citizen, because he makes money by
farming. Then again it is desirable that
cotton growers should make money, bur
sugar planter. Oh Horrors Sc
rlously, now, is it even wise politics to
berate man because he Is successful in
buslnesSo Because Wilkinson has made
enough money on the farm to have a
bank account and be able to write checks
is no reason he should be condemned.
or that he should be unfit to be Gov
ernor The shallow aspersion cast upon
the candidate who has made a business
success in life will only add to the sup
port to his standard of thrifty men who
believe it is no discredit for either a

The man who has record for success
as a farmer and as a business man gives
assurance of being a success as Gov
error. and therefore Mr.. Wilkinson is a
thorn in Sanders side: a source of lis
comfture which implies the defeat of the
Syndicate candidate for Governor. Fur
ther comment IS unnecessary.

A FATAL AFFRAY
Martin Guysler Slain by Charles Wright
With a Knife

At about go o'clock Friday after
noon Martin Guysler was stabbed fatally
with knife by Charles Wright on the
sidewalk in front Of the Inn bar on
Milan street. Guysler was conveyed TO
the hospital. which he reached when
about dead. There were two cuts on the
neck, one being slight, while the other
was plunged stroke which struck lit
tie above the collar bone on the right
side and penetrated inwardly.
The affray occurred over d trife and
should have been avoided
Guysler and several of his friends
were in the Inn saloon when Charles
Wright. who was more or less lntoxl-
Gated, insisted on being treated. AS
many men intoxicated, he was making
himself disagreeable and annoying to
Geysler and his companions.
When Wright said Il want stein,
Geysler retorted: You can't have one
on me, and you will have to cut 1t out.
One remark provoked another, when 1t
is alleged Geysler attempted to strike
Wright. but one Of the party lnterfered
and an alteration was avoided III the
saloon, and Wright with angry words
walked out.
Having reached the sidewalk Wright
in profane words urged Geysler to come
out and he would lick him, and as Geys-
Ter started out he was checked by
Wright holding fast the swinging doors.
Finally Geysle- went out by side door,
which Wright was knocked down. On
rising. Wright pulled his knife, long
bladed one. and stabbed Guysler as de
scribed
The affray was over in less time than
is required to write this report.
Wright is a carpenter, well known in
Shreveport He is quarrelsome when in
tixicated When sober he is peaceful and
orderly.
He is in Jail charged with murder.
The body of Geysler was removed
from the hospital to Warnings, where it
was prepared for burial Geysler was
