THE CAUSE.
Negro Who Shot Up Monroe Addicted
to Habit.

Pine Bluff, Ark.-Stephen w. Wade,
the Pine Bluff negro who ran amuck in
Monroe, La, Tuesday and shot and bad
ly wounded more than a score of white
people, left here last Monday for Mon

not made known by him. He was adj
dicted to cocaine, and it is believed here
that his beast-like acts in the Louisiana
town were occasioned by excessive use
of the drug. Wade was well known in
Pine Bluff, where he owned several cot
tages, and was never known to have
any serious trouble with members Of
his race or white persons here.

existing, would have proved a strong
temptation to some foreign powers to
step in and get a nice slice of terri
