MURDERED TO-DAY.
Son of VAUDEVILLE Planter FoulIy
Dealt With by Italians.

Wimberk Boney, jr., was fatally shot
this morning about 1890 o'clock while
in the store Of an Italian living at
VAUDEVILLE.
There were no witnesses to the crime
except the Italian storekeeper at Vance
vile and visiting Italians who COM
mitted the murder. Teti, a daughter Of
John Fulco, has confessed to have done
the shooting. She stated that she shot
young Boney twice while her father held
him. This story is not generally ac-
cepted as true. The young mans cloth
ing was torn and there were abrasions
about his body showing the result of a
scuffle, but it is thought the weapon
with which he was shot was in other
hands, perhaps those of the girls lover.
The pistol that Fulco turned over to the
authorities has two empty chambers,
but the weapon appears not to have
been fired for some time. The tradegy
followed an argument, or alteration,
between the young man and the Italian
and his daughter, and the evidence in
dicates that Mr.. Boney was not attacked
by one, but by two or more.
John Fulco and his daughter have
been arrested, charged with the murder,
and placed in the parish Jail in this
place. The wife and young son of Fulco
were also arrested and held as witnesses
and probable accomplices. They were
on their way to Benton to surrender te
the Sheriff when the arrest was made
The young Italian referred to above has
also been arrested, near Bossier City
and it is expected that he will be
brought in and jailed this afternoon.
John Fulco kept a store in old Benton
for three or four years, at VAUDEVILLE fol
about two years and only recently
moved to Shreveport. He was succeeded
at Vanceville by another Italian.
! Mr.. Boney was son of Mr.. Wimberl
Boney, ST., a prominent planter living
at VAUDEVILLE. He was we'll connected
and popular and courteous young
gentleman.

Practice, my dear young mice, makes
perfect. See! do this every day for
ten hours"
"Whew!' gasped No. 8. Il don't
think it's worth while. I'd rather be
a frog out and out and swim around In
the cool pond. It's SO hot out here In
the fields! How do you learn to swim?
Is that just practice too!"
Purely so" said Mr.. Frog. drawing
himself up proudly. Purely 20. Just
jump in like this, then strike out like
this, and then like this, and in few
months you will find that your hair
will come off. Your feet will become
webbed like mine, and your mouths
will stretch, your tails will drop out
as mine did, for had tail once, and
you will become frogs. But, my dears,
remember, it's practice, practice, prac-
tice. Practice will change anything in
to anything"
THANK you," said they in chorus,
1--WE will try it at once"
OF they set to the barn, where the
drinking trough stood.
Here goes for frog" said one,
and, standing on the edge, he plunged
in.
"Oh! oh! Oh! Help, help" he
squealed piteously. I'm drowning.
can't practice, cause I can't get my
breath. Mother! Father! Help"
Just then mother and father came by
and pulled him out, dripping.
"Silly thing" scolded bis mother, ito
try to be what you can't."-St. Louis

A Half Century of Success.

Even the casual reader here in Bossier
knows that the Banner was established
fifty years ago, and, that had it not been
for its suspension during the Confeder-
ate War, our last issue would have COM
pleted its fiftieth volume.
During all these years one man has
been at its head. The Banner was es-
tablished July 1, 1859, by its present
editor and proprietor and he still fills
these places.
Such is his record.
1t is one of which the writer would
! feel proud. And when the many re-
verses and trials met with in the country
newspaper field are taken into consider
alton, and when one stops to recount the
hardshps and many injustices peculiar
to the period Immediately following the
war, why shouldn't any one review with
pride such work? With an opponent
political force active and in power, with
the incoming of the railroads and the
consequent springing up of new towns
and new papers, with floods, drouths
and insects to harrass and embarrast its
supporters, the Banner has ever pur-
sued the even tenor of its way, and its
editor, with confidence in the field and
love for his home (the parish) and its
loyal and generous people, has ever won
support for large family and in
creased the scope and usefulness of his
paper.
| Again, such is his work.
Questioning nothing, ever undaunted,
with will to do and an aim always in
view, has made the long struggle of the
Banners proprietor easier.
And during all these years the Banner
and it's editor have remained true to one
party, true to their convictions, true to
principles and friends and ever placing
the man above the dollar.
Such is their work.
1t is a record out of the ordinary and
it is not amiss for the writer to thus
call attention to it.
That the Banner and its editors work
for the general good and uplift of home
and the fight for home principles and
other interests are appreciated is evil
denced by glance at our correspon-
dence column. And we wish here to
thank our correspondents for their COM
plimentary remarks. Their expressions
of kindly feelings are not without their
proper appreciation in this ofice-by
both the editor and his associate.
We hope, dear Banner, that another
} half century of success, without the
many trials of the one just closed, is just
ahead of you. May your usefulness
ever increase and may your field never
: be narrowed. May your ifty-first veal
} be the chest you have ever seen and the
worst you will ever see." LOCAL EDITOR.

Time has somewhat disfgured this old
sheet, yet every line is legible. Its
motto then was "Be sure you're right,
then 20 ahead" And to-day the Ban
is as true to that principle as it was in
days when our parish suffered her share
of injustice under Federal military
rule. And this, it's fiftieth anniversary,
finds it loyal to Bossier, her traditions
and her memories and, when being as
sured OF what is just and right, possess
sing that undaunted courage to ego
ahead"
These four lines are from this issue
of 1865.

Born of loneliness and light,
And sunsets wrongs shall never prosper
