HIT WILL CHERRY.
Five Saw Mill Towns in Crap
Game For "KiIIing" Near
Bon Homme.

The woods near Bon Homme, in
the early hours of Sunday morning
was the scene Of wild excitment
among the negroes OF Bond, Epley,
Make, Silver Creek and Bon Homme
to engage in that very exciting Amer
lean game known as craps" which is
said by experts in it, an Improvement
on the Old English game of hazard"
quick action for your money" being
in the estimation OF the players, the
cardinal virtue Of the game Of craps"
Evidently to escape the eyes Of
some vigilant officer of the law, the
denizons of the several saw mill
towns had made preparations for a
killing" in the dark purlieus of the
woods near Bon Homme, Q. a point
where the glimmor of the EgLts neces-
sary to the play could not be well
seen.
Just how long the game had pro-
crossed is not definitely known but
some time about 10 o'clock Sunday
morning the game was in full blast
under the light of lamp with one of
the gang accommodating acting as
lamp holder, when Deputy Sheriff

the presence. Of so odd light in the
edge Of the swamps was begun.
The officers divided and approached
the shooters from all sides and so alb
sorbed in watching the dice fall were
the players and the lookers-in that
the two officers got within twenty feet
OF the players before their presence
was known. AT the first break of the |
negroes the four white men rose IN |
on four sides.
The first of the four 10 land his
man was Mr.. Anderson, who let his

aim and caught the negro in the mouth
knocking out two teeth and bringing
the negro to the ground. Mr.. Smith
was in on time to get Charles FerralI
and Philip Austin before they got
away from the place of the game.
The exciting feature Of the affair
was the chase Of Officers McGilvrav
and Tucker for two negroes who made
Tor the swamp along the nearby creek.
The officers had run about 300 yards
with McGilvray in front when two
shots were fired from the swami

how pleasant for brethren t.
dwell together in unity"

Again the able editor of the
Glasgow Times seems to be in a
rebellious attitude toward the
great wave and movement to
harmonic and revitalize the
Democratic forces in Louisville
and Kentucky. His accusation
and sarcasm carries the mind
back to the troubles of the past
while his brilliant mind and loyal
ty to party ought t O lead to
paths of peace and victory. We
have never been in sympathy
with the undoing of Democracy
by the parties who are prominent
in the present effort to have a
jubilee, but we made our charges
then and quit when the war
was over. They accomplished
the defeat of the party, suffered
with the rest of us, returned of
their own volition and are now
on the firing line against the
common enemy. They occupy
the same position as before the
rupture and are doing valuable
work. The News believes in
bridging over the past with the
planks Of forgetfulness and in
frightening the future with love
feasts and hand-shakes. Why
should we linger in the shadows
of sorrow when peace and pros
perity are n reach? Why dwell
on the misdeeds, as we see them,
when the wanderers have return
ed and pledged anew their devo-
ton and talents. The troubles
of thepast have been buried and
the man or men who continually
airs them fails to do the best for
the party. When a party be-
comes corrupt, when bad men
get in the saddle, then is the
time to fight, and as we see it,
there is but little difference in a
bolter and a revolter.
