and the negro finally fell dead with
bullet through his heart, but not be-

Wade's body was publicly burned
after it had been cut down from a
pole on which it had been hung Tor
half an hour or more after he was
killed.
1t was first reported that Wade was
half craZed at the time from the ell
fects of cocaine and whiskey, but an
investigation by the police showed
that when he purchased the shotgun
and box of shells a few minutes be-
fore he opened fire on the first VIC
tim, there was nothing unusual in MS
manner. He had not been drinking
nor did he show any evidence OF nav
ing taken cocaine.
Wade came to Monroe recently from
Pine Bluff, Ark. He was accompa-
MED by several other negroes and
they commenced to make trouble for
the local police soon after they ar
rived. 1t was alleged that they were
members of a society in Arkansas,
which had as it's object revenge for
all injuries done the black race.

BODY TO BE DISlNTEKKED
Experts Will Examine That Of Lieu
tenant Sutton.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The body of
Lieutenant James N. Sutton of the
United States marine corps is to be
disinterred and examined by medical
and gunshot experts to determine the
nature of the wounds that caused his
death and then reinterred. Before re-
interment, however, the ground in
which the body now rests in Arlington
national cemetery near this city is to
be consecrated by Cardinal Gibbons
authority, under the rites of the Cath
Ollie church.
If the examination shows the dead
officers right arm to have been bro
ken and the wound in the skull to
have been inflicted by a weapon held
at a distance greater than three or
four inches, it is probable that the
family will ask for congressional in
vestigation or demand jury trial in
the federal courts of Maryland.

BRAVE KAs0TA LADY,

From Fridays Daily.
These American girls are the. real
article, and Minnesota girls lead them
all.
To a Kasota township girl Mrs. IL.
IS. Walker, belongs the distinction of
being the first lady to make balloon
ascension in England. Mrs. Walker,
who was formerly Miss Allie Leon
ard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.
Leonard, made the ascent with a
party attending charity bazaar, and
her experience was a novel one. In
describing it The London Times says:
Away Up in the Air
''The thirty-thirc annual gala pro-
NOTED by the Keighley friendly socie-
ties in aid of the Victoria hospital
was held Saturday. Captive balloon
ascents under the direction of Cap
tain A. E. Gaudron had been arrang
ed, but the wind was too strong, and
shortly before seven o'clock--an hour
earlier than stated on the official
program-it was deemed advisable to
make the ascent. Captain Gaudror
was accompanied in the balloon by
Messrs. James Longstaife and Wal
ter Coleman, and Mrs. j. S. Walker
81 RylestOne Terrace, Keighley. The
balloon rose steadily and drifted away
at fair speed, first taking a di-
rection southeast and later due east
About nine o'clock it came down in
the country six or seven miles from
Selby, and the party made their way
to Leeds by an excursion train
They missed the 2:20 train Leeds
where they were picked up by Mr.
Walker, who had journied thither by
motor car, and arrived home about
six o'clock Sunday morning.
Described Her Trip.
"Seen by our representative yester
day morning, Mrs. Walker described
! the trip as most enjoyable. The bal
loon reached an elevation of 1000 tC
5000 feet, and commanded a glorious
view of Bradford and Leeds. whilst
a distant glimpse of Rock Minister
was obtained. The setting sun was 8
magnificent spectacle. An easy de
scent was made near Skipworth
where the country folk lent every
| assistance, and a horse and Wagon
conveyed the balloon to Shelby"
In talking of her trip Mrs. Walker
said: Il did not feel afraid. Before
starting [ supposed l should feel diz
~, but | was not SO, even for nom
emit"
