THE TROUBLE AT NATALDANY

ITALIAN STORE Was DYNAMITED
Both Sides Ready to Resent Inju-
ries, but Americans Got Best of
Situation. Officers VIII En-
force the Law.

New Orleans. reference to
the situation at Natarbany, the Pic
ayune has the following to say:
THE trouble whic has attracted
some attention in the last few days
at Natalbany, in Tangiparoa Parish,
Is the result of disagreements that
have grown up between the native
population and the numerous Ital-
ians who have settled in that saw
mill numbering settlement.
Logging and the saving of pine
timber into lumber is the principal
business of that locality, and has at
tracted some scores of Italians, some
of whom labor in the mills, but not a
few are engaged in peddling and
trade of some sort, for they are not
fond of laborious employment. These
people live with extremee economy
unknown to the wasteful Americans,
and they find opportunities to gather
up money which our people seldom
see. They are able to make money
out of the negroes, and the result is
sort of traffic that causes serious
disagreements with the balance of
the population.
Both sides are ready to resent in
juries, and there is generally some
circumstance, often trivial, which
brings ON conflicts. In the present
case, the Americans being in a ma
jority, got the best of the disagree
ment. There will be no difficulty with
the prompt measures adopted to re-
store order. AS to finding all the
wrong on. one side and all the right
on the other, it is an fmpossibility.
Let the guilty be punished wherever
and whoever they may be-
The town went under military
guard Saturday as a result of the

Sheriff Saal turned the town over

sixty men. Every road leading In

pickets with orders to shoot any man
who attempts to repeat the dynamit-
ing act.
The dynamiting of Parino's store,
Sheriff Saal says, is the work of the
American population and he does
not intend to leave astone unturned
until he has brought the perpetra-
tors to justice. The building, which
is located in the hollow just east Of
the Illinois Central station, is a to-
tai wreck, the entire north side hav-
ing been blown out, while the win
dows of all the houses in the vi
