Lincoln, Neb., July 24-The polit-

three states were impregnable against
Republican assault.
The chairmanship of the national

TOWN DIVIDED into
TWO ARMED CAMPS
Race Hatred at Fighting Point
at NataIbany, La.

| Natalbany, La, July 24.-Daylight
found this town divided into two
armed camps, with race hatred
strained to dangerous pitch. During
the night preparations were made for
a race war of threatening proportions,
, but the passage of the night without
actual fighting is believed to have
averted further danger.
One of the hostile camps consisted
of Italians and otner foreigners gath
cred beside blazing fires on the out
skirts of town and said to number,
Including their wives and children,
about Eve hundred persons ALI day
these foreigners gathered in. camp,
after moving out of their homes here
and in the vicinity, in the fear of
reprisals by Americans for the wound
Ing of Walter Simmons and the sub
sequent shooting between Americans
and Italians. Some of the foreigners
claimed to have been warned to leave
this section of the country
The opposing camp is made up of
about seventy-five residents of Natal
bany, under command of Sheriff Saal.
An Italian came into town and said
that the men at his countrymen's
camp intended to attack and 't'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
eampfires and reported that excited
men were holding continuous debates.
Natalbany is 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 exoduses of |
foreigners from the lumber communi- i
les in other parts of the state.

HORSES SLANDERED
But Owners Should Show Horse
Sense and Not Break the Peace.

An interesting decision was fled by
the supreme court recently wherein
the court deals with the question of
what sort of language one may use in
talking about another's horse. The
decision is of special interest to quick
tempered horse traders.
The case came to the supreme court
on appeal from Renville county,
William Baumgartner against Fred
Hodgden:
Gone April day in 1907 Baumgartner,
Hodgden and others we're gathered in
Bird Island store engaged in ex-
changing stories with the proprietor,
discussing the weather and the merit
of horses.
Somebody said that Baumgartner's
horses were the 'laziest on earth, and
that a vigorous application of the
whip or Showing on the ines' was
necessary to keep them on the move.
Hodgden was asked what he thought
of the team, and replied that they
ought to be put on the stre;cher.'
"Hodgden's horses next came up
for discussion, and Baumgartner said
he had thing of a horse the d-t
looking horse he ever saw.
sThat was too much for u odgden,
and he declared himself ready for a
fight unless Baumgartner retract'
Baumgartner would not retract, and
there was a fight.
.ssThe fight over, and Baumgartner
out of bed, a lawsuit resulted. He
proved to the jury that he received a
telling blow over the heart, and that
one of his eardrums was injured, i'm
pairing his hearing. A verdict of
81, ,O63 damages was awarded against
Hodgden, and his motion for new
trail was deneid. He claimed the as
sault was provoked, and that this fact
should be considered in mitigation of
the damages. He appealed to the
supreme court.
tsJustice Brown, who wrote the de-.
elsion says, 60.
''It is not important which remark
was made. Both may be conceded to
have been slanderous and defamatory
of the horse, more SO perhaps than to
speak of an ordinary dog as a worth
