ROBBED OF MONEY;
HURLED Under CARS
Fate of White Man at Rock
port---Riding Freight.
Negro Crooks Try to Have Victim
Crushed by Railway
Train.

Rockport, KY, Aug. 24.-After a
desperate battle with negro crooks, who
had robbed him of all the money he
possessed an unknown man claiming
Pittsburg Pa las his home,was thrown
between the cars of a rapidly moving
Illinois Central freight train here at
an early hour this morning by the ne
groes who sought to cover up the evil
dence of their guilt beneath the
grinding wheels of the train.
Instead of being crushed to pieces,
the man threw himself from the rails,
but not In time to save his leg, which
was served by the cars.
The man boarded the train at Pa
ducah with the intention of riding to
Louisville where he intended to catch
a train to Cincinnati.
When the train reached Central City
the negroes got on and asked the
white man for a match. With the
mfches he pulled out a roll of bills
which caught the eyes of the crooks.
When the train had reached this
city the negroes attacked the man,
who fought desperately to save his life
and money. He fired at the negroes
with a revolver and one of them fell,
while the others closed in on the
white man.
Using his revolver as a club, he
fought the crooks until one of them
struck him on the head with a black
jack. This dazed him and the negroes
picked him up and tried to throw him
between the cars attire they had Sc
cured all his oney,which amounted
to about $40
Luckily, he fell sideways and his
body fell outside the tracks. His leg
was cut off in two places.
The man was brought to the Illinois
Central depot here, and was later
rushed to a hospital in Louisville.
The negroes stayed on the train, and
are said TO have been headed for Lou
isville. There were seven of them,
and they are believed to have been
escaped convicts.
How bad the one that was shot by
the white man is wounded is not
known but it is thought that he was
badly hurt.

THE FOURTEENTH OF JULY.

The Fourteenth of July is to French
men what the Fourth of July is to
Americans.
Il was on that day that the Bastile
was razed to its foundations. The Bas-
tile was a fortress and prison situated
in the heart Of Paris. Within its walls
had been inearcerated the victims Of
the King, the royalty and the nobility
To incur the displeasure of any of these
was to be condemned without hearing
or trial to imprisonment or to the
fortunes of the damned. Long oppressed
by war and the prohigaey of the ruling
classes, the populaee hungering for
bread and already aroused by the tyr
amy Of the government, stormed the
Bastiie and put to death the garrison
BY whom It was defended.
The French Revolution was then
ablaze. during which occurred the most
terrible events in human history. How

The day.
The Fourteenth of July has been pre-
coded by the Fourth of July. 1t was
this event in history which gave hope
and courage to Frenchmen and which
urged en- this resistance to tyrants II
was echoes of liberty from the Gallo
nies of Great Britain which had be-
come nationalized into a Republic which
has grown to be the greatest of the
nations Of earth. which stimulated this
determination for freedom.
The cry of Liberty raised against the
oppression of the Mother country has
had its influence throughout the world
Il is the cry which leads tyrants to
quake with fear.
Suffice Il to say that the Fourteenth
of July Is observed everywhere BY
Frenehmen throughout the world. Ii is
the day of Independence of France and
as The Fourth of July is the day of In
dependence IN the United States. In
New Orleans, for instance, 1t is cele-
bfated with ponp and splendor not only
BY Frsnchtnen but by the descendants
