Hostile italian Camp Threat
ening Natalbany, La.
NATIVES ANGER AROUSED
Talk of Lynching Frightens Five
Hundred Foreigners.
SHOOTING CAUSES TROUBLE
Italians Refuse to Allow Sheriff to
Search Homes and Fire
Upon His Posse.

NATALBANY, La, July 23.-Daylight
today found this town divided into two
armed camps, with race hatred strained
to dangerous pitch. During last night
preparations had been made for race
war of threatening proportions, but the
passage of the night without actual fight
ing is believed to have averted further
danger.
One of the hostile camps consisted of
Italians and the other foreigners gathered
beside blazing fires on the outskirts of
town and said to number, including their
wives and children, about 500 persons All
day yesterday these foreigners gathered
in camp after moving out Of their homes
here and in the vicinity in the fear of re-
prisals by Americans for the wounding of
Walter Simmons Tuesday and subsequent
shooting between Americans and Italians
yesterday.
Some of the foreigners claimed to have
been warned to leave this section of the
country. The opposing camp was made
up of about seventy-five residents of
Natalbany under command of Sheriff
Saal.
Early last night an Italian came into
town and said that the men at his coun-
trymen's camp intended to attack and
wipe out the town" before morning. The
sheriff sent out scouts, picketed the town
and ordered every available man to be
ready to fight.
At intervals the scouts approached the
foreigners campfires and reported that
excited men we're holding continuous de-
bates.
A Lumbering Town.
Natalbany is a lumber mill town, and
the race trouble is in part the out
growth Of the rough spirit rampant
among mill employees. such as has in
the past year resulted in an exodus Of
foreigners from the lumber commune
ties in other parts Of the state.
The authorities here believe they have
the situation under control and that
any Americans who have threatened to
lynch Italians will be forced to keep
the peace. allowing the foreigners to
return peacefully to their homes.
Overcome by Fear.
Blind fear on the part of the foreign
ers is partly responsible for the situa-
ton and led to last nights crisis. Yes
terday two Italians. Joseph Ansalome
and Vincenzo Lueuto who claimed to be
innocent % WrOnSdOlng, nred upon
sheriff's posse and were wounded when
they refused to allow their house to be
searched for Italians accused of at
tempting to murder Walter Simmons
Simmons interfered in a fist fight be-
tween American and Italian small boys.
He was shot by older Italians during
the ensuing alterations and was taken
to a New Orleans hospital, where he died
early today. The wounded Italians who
are not dangerously hurt are under
treatment at New Orleans.

in Red River Country.

LAKE CHARLES, La, July o3.-Alder-
man John Shattuck yesterday returned

Some of them, he declares. are forced
to eat fodder. raw corn or anything they
can pick up that will furnish the least
particle of nourishment.
To add TO the distress the sanitary con-
ditions. owing to rotting vegetation, are
serious. Mr.. Shattuck says there is no
prospect of relief ahead for the future
crop. as that has all been destroyed and
IL Is too late to- replant.
