that he proposed to probe the matter of the death of W. H. Ray to the bottom Ray was murdered near Arcadia mines Tuesday afternoon by bushwhaekers and all persons whom 1t is thought probable may have knowledge of the matter have been summoned to appear before the coroner on next Monday morning
 The coroner is of the belief that Dallas Campbell, the young man who was run over by a Powderly street cab last Sum day morning. came to no foul play prior to the time he was run over by the ear. With the testimony of Motorman T. F. Madden yesterday morning Coroner Bra sher closed the case. The coroner holds the theory that Campbell was probably rendered unconscious from some cause and that he lay on the street car tracks until the car came along and was run over and mangled almost beyond recogni- tion.

Majestic Theatre

There are several acts on the bill at this theatre this week that deserve special commendation. They are high class and of the richest comedy. The trick piano stunts of Frank Tinney are so comcal they beggar description, and his black face monologue, which is replete with wit ticisms, is so funny that the audience Is loath to let him leave the stage. And he did'' brings forth peals of laughter every time Tinney says it in that inim- itable draw1 of his. Miss Grace Wilson, the singing comedienne, is another first class entertainer, and Carrie Ezier and Josette. as "The Actress and the Maid" prove themselves clever travesty artistes. There is a matinee at 2:30 every after noon, especially for the ladies and chill dren, and at S:30 every night the usual evening performance

At the Bijou.

Hal Reid is drawing well as the star of his latest play, "The Kentuckian," at the Bijou this week. MT. Reid takes the lead ing role in capable fashion, and he has the support of frst-class company, and the production is unusually elaborate. The story of the play deals with a family feud among the mountain people of Ken lucky. ''The Kentuckian" Is rather above the usual melodrama offering, and is well worth seeing. There will be the usual performance tonight.

shortly after he left the negro escaped.
 It seems that when the negro was dressed office. Moore handcuffed him and then started for police headquarters irn- mediately after Lieutenant Hagood left. The prisoner was left in charge of Off, ficers Maloney, oBryant and Lokey. It is understood that they took him from his room outside of the house to put him In the wagon, and when the negro was out side handcuffed he exclaimed, Kill me; kill me if you can," and with astounding boldness ran off. A fusilade of shots fol- lowed but evidently none of the bullets struck the negro.
 When Chief Bodeker received report of the matter yesterday morning he ad- dressed letters to the officers in whose charge the negro was left, notifying them of their indefinite suspension.

WRESTLING MATCH
1t the Shreveport Athletic Association
Next Wednesday,

\ wrestling match will take place next
Wednesday night in the Shreveport Ath-
letc Association club house between
George Baptiste and Tom Coburn. 1t
is to be a "catchas-catch- can affair.
Great sport is promised. Referring to a
similar contest the Nashville Banner
says:
Those who journeyed out to the Hip
podrome last night were we'll repaid for
their trouble Wild Tom Coburn won
the match from Farraro, the Big Italian,
in two straight falls. but he had hard
time pinning his man, and the bout was
one Of the toughest ever witnessed on a
mat in Nashville
"Coburn got the first fall in thirteen
minutes with half Nelson hold and
the second time it took him twenty two
minutes to pin the Italian. Considering
that these men are heavy-weights, the
bout was very fast and was exciting
throughout Both Coburn and Farraro
mixed things up. and each broke out OF
several holds After the first fall Far
raro got several flying falls Oh his OPP
ponent. hut was not able to hold Cohurn
long enough to get decision. Farraro
claimed, however, that he should have
been awarded fall, and after the bout
he challenged Coburn for another match
to take place within the next two weeks
Both men showed some clever wrestling
and the mat fans were kept at high
pitch of excitement throughout the bout
There was a fair crowd on hand, and
| they seemed to be quite enthusiastic.

THE DEAL.nODGE CASE
1t Is Reinstated for Trial by the Court
Notice of Mandamus Given.

At the session of the District Court
held yesterday Judge Murff in written
opinion admitted that he was in error in
holding III the Deal-tIodge case that the
issue had to be tried under a certain
election statute as provided in the Re-
vised Statutes. which the Supreme Court
construed to have been repealed. Judge
Murff reinstated the case but held that
since the plaintiff. Deal, had not seas
onably filed his notice for trial by jury,
the case would have to be tried without
a jury.
In excepting to this opinion the plain
tiff's attorneys gave notice that they
would appeal to the Supreme Court to
review this courts decision and would
ask the Supreme Court for writ of
mandamus to compel the court to order
a jury for the trial of the case.
This is the substance of a lengthy
opinion and leaves the case practically
as it was before the ruling of Judge
| Murff.

In a lengthy opinion rendered yester-
day covering an exhaustive review of
the law and the authorities. Judge
T. F. Bell has declared that whole
saler of intoxicants can not sell in i
territory in which the law proscribes the
sale of whiskey. beer. liquors or intoxi-
cants
The contention of Morris was that as
wholesaler he could sell But to
whom If he sells. he must sell to one
who buys for the purpose of retail but
as the law is construed by Judge Bell,
he can not sell at all
This may be regarded as an extreme
view by the class who do not favor pro-
hibition. but such was the intent and the
purpose of the ordinances adopted and
promulgated by the Police Jury of Cad
do Parish and ratified by majority of
the voters participating in the election
TO maintain that wholesaler could
sell, i'll sealed packages, in quantities
limited to the minimum fixed by the
revenue law woulI be equal to de-
feat of the intent of the law, as it would
encourage such traffic in contempt of the
law which is designed to prohibit sucI,
sales
The counsel for Morris gave notice Of
bills of exception and Of such legal pro-
ceedings as are in order in such matters
The roceedings in Judge Bells court
was on motion to quash the affidavit
against Morris. convicted in Judge Full
lilove's court for breaking the prohibit
ton law by wholesaling liquor, etc The
motion was Overruled
