NUMBER 38
A COLLISION IN
[. R. & n. YARD
Passenger Train Collides With
a Freight Engine Near the
WINFIELD Depot.

Monday night about 9 o'clock
the incoming passenger engine
No. 50 collided with freight
engine No. 20, standing on a
siding. A misplaced switch was
the cause of the accident. As the
passenger train was approaching
the depot at a reduced speed. it
was discovered too late, that
some one had misplaced the
switch, and before it could be
checked 1t crashed into the freight
engine on a siding, close to the
main line. Both engines had
their pilots broken and the
baggage and express car was
somewhat damaged. The shock
of the collision was sufficient to
throw down aud injure the Of
ficials of the train, but none of
the passengers were hurt. Those
who received contusions about
their persons, but not of q serious
nature, were L. E. DeLoach,
conductor; John Williams, en-
gineer; johnson, fireman; L.
E. Wilson, baggagernan; Mystt
Fields, the colOred porter.
Fortunately there were no
ladies on the train. Another
engine was telegraphed for to
Shreveport and the regular train
went out Tuesday morning on
time. 1t is impossible to learn
who misplaced the switch that
caused the collision. 1t is fortu-
nate that all on the train escaped
any serious bodily harm. Serious
accidents on the branch line of
road ftom Aloha to this place, are
OF rare occurrence, particularly
to the passenger train. The Of
ficials are to be congratulated for
their fortunate escape from
serious bodily injury.

TRAIL
OF A SENSATION
A New York Episode Supposed
To Have Been Traced to the
State of Louisiana.

The whole of New York and
much of the outside world were
startled by.a highly sensational
episode in which a clergyman was
the principal actor, which had it,
inception about year ago. Rev.
Jere Cooke, rector of st. George Z
Episcopal church, at Hampstead,
Long Island, eloped with FIoretta
Whaley, and elu,led all efforts to
discover their location. ". o.
Jones, of Emden, wrote the sur
rogate at Hampstead that Floretta
Whaley had been living at his
house for several months, where
she had been left by a man named
Cooke.
That the parties have not
dropped out of public notice is
evident from the corollary to this
sensation. Information having
reached here of the facts as
stated, newspaper reporter
Instituted an enquiry into the
facts. He learned that Floretta
had lived ut Montgomery and had
left that place presumably for
Natchitoches. The Rev. Cooke
had gone to COlfax, but whether
he still resides in that locality is
not known. V. 0. Jones, at
whose house the couple stayed,
left some weeks ago for Alabama.
While this is the latest informa-
tion bearing upon this sensational
episode, undoubtedly the journals
will take up the threads of in
formation and follow them to the
final terminal of this affair, that
had its inception year ago.
LATEsr.-As was indicated, the
persistent pursuit of the journals
on the trail of this couple, has
led to their Identification. A
picture of Floretta Whaley in a
paper has led to their discovery

Hat in San Francisco. Presum-
ably Rev. Jcre Cooke, ere this,

DisPeputable Mob.

According to information tha
Is deemed reliable, jackson
parish has again been the seen,
of most disreputable occurrence
From information gathered, il
seems that last Saturday nigh,
some one one entered the bed
room window of the daughter OF
a resident named Jenkins. Be.
fore he could perpetrate any
outrage or show the cause of bis
intrusion, he was frightened from
his purpose. 1t was reported
that the man was a negro, but il
was not definitely known whether
he was black or white.
The next day Sunday was
quiet and peaceable. But toward
dusk some IS white men came
from Jonesboro aud vicinity and
peremptorily notified the negroes
working at the mill, to leave at
once and not let the sun 90 down
on them at dusk and find them
there.
On Monday Manager Hodge
and Superintendent Baker, of
the HuIe-Hodge Lumber Co.,
called meeting of all the cit
izens OF Hodge and the mill
hands, both white and colored,
and informed them of what had
happened. The white hands of
the mill bore testimony that the
negro employees always kept
their place, aud they were willing
fo- them to stay where they were.
When the meeting had adj
journed some so or more RAIDERS
from the direction of
Jonesboro and vicinity, and by
their presence, threats and Ian

Mr.. Hodge thereupon gave
them all money, whether he owed
1t to them or not, to get away
from Hodge as quickly as pos
sible. Some forty-five families
left the place. As soon as this
occurred the mill was shut down
indefinitely. BY this compulsory
action on the part of the em.
ployers eighty-fve white families
were also deprived of the fruits
of their honest labor. The mill
company employed fully 400
hands.
The best white citizens of that
neighborhood are stirred up over
this outrage and denounce the
conduct and acts of the irrespon-
sible mob. These men who defied
law and disturbed the peace of a
community, were composed of
camp followers, bOOt-leggers,
idlers, and men who would not
work. The best people of that
locality were satisfied with the
conditions as they existed. BY

Mack had disappeared and be

without him. At the camp moth
ing was thought of bis absence
and it was believed that he had
gone to near by camp. When
he failed to report the next day q
search was instituted and prose-
cuted throughout the day. On
Friday his body was found in the
woods, but life was extinct.
DR.. j. j. Peters, coroner, was
notified and proceeded to the
spot and empannelled jury of

ton into the facts as far As pos

Jack Mack came to. his death
from gunshot wounds inflicted by

When Mack's body was found
he had evidently been dead
some time. 1t had five BIB shot
wounds. one in each thigh, one
near The collar bone, one in the
thrOat, and the last one in the
eye, the latter of which caused
bis death. His faithful dog had
