"NEAR BEER" CASES
One Conviction Secured and Thirteen
Cases Continued in the City Court.

There was a crowd in Judge Full
loves court this morning to witness the
trial of the cases for selling the near
beer" which makes the drinker stupid
or boozy.
Only one case was tried, w. I. Davis.
He is connected, as was developed on
the trial, with a poker room on the sec
ond floor of the Pastime Club. 1t IS
surmised that this case was tried with
the view of determining who are the
detectives who have worked these cases.
E. A. Sutton, a detective testified in
substance that he had visited this place
and had obtained one-half pint of whis-
key from Davis, for which he paid the
price.
When Davis testified in his own de-
fense his explanation simply justified
the Judge in his opinion of his guilt, as
evidenced during the trial.
City Attorney Butler appeared for
the city in the prosecution. District At
torney Foster represented the State.
Davis was found guilty He was
fined to pay $1oo for the city and $Ioo
and one hundred days on the good
roads for the State, and in default OF
payment of the fine of $Ioo he is to
serve fifty days additional He was re.
leased on a bond of $3.50. He has ap-
pealed to the District Court
The following cases for Violating the
prohibition law, selling "near-beer'
which leads some men to believe they
are millionaires, were postponed as fol
lows:
To August 26; Pat Duffy, one case
Vic Bosetti, two cases; Ike Fouche
one case; Phil Kohlbruner, one case
Henry Lindenbaum, one case.
To August 81: Pete Gambrione, thre'
cases; Jessie Strickland, three cases
Barney ABrantes, two cases.
1t is stated that the evidence agains
the accused is sraight, which must b
verified on the trial when called.

IN PUBLIC SQUARE IN MONROE
THIS MORNING.
MAYOR FORSYTHE SHOT
Twenty-one Persons Are Victims of
the Negro Before Being Killed by
Officer Hugh Biggar - Was Either
Crazy or Drunk.

About 10 80 o'clock this morning a
negro ran amuck on the streets of Mon
roe, shotting twenty-one people before
being killed.
The negro was first noticed walking
down the street, and without warning
fired on Mr. J. ]. Jordan, formerly of
Shreveport, and Mr.. George McCor-
mick. The negro used a double barrel
shotgun and loaded and fired at every
one in sight, using No shot. He was
finally shot and killed by Officer Hugh
Biggar, after the officer had been shot
and wounded by the negro.
The negros body was burned i'll the
court square by the infuriated populace.
1t is not thought that any of the
people shot are seriously wounded eX-
cept George Mccormick and Deputy
Sheriff Arthur Grant. Mr.. Mccormick S
arm is badly 1acerated, as the negro
was very close to him when he fired.
Deputy Grant is shot in the face and
chest.
Among the wounded are Mayor For
sythe, Dr. Massengil, J. ]. Jordan, OF,
fcer Hugh Biggar, Mr.. Marx and Mr.
Haas.
The wounds of most of the injured
are Slight, they being hit by scattering
shot.
A complete list of the wounded coulc
not be ascertained, as there was so mucf
excitement following the fusillade tha
those less seriously shot left and thei
names could not be secured.
As far as could be learned there wa
no motive, and if the negro had grlev
ance against any one it could not b
Iascertained.

WEATHER AND CROPS
T Temperature Higher Than Experienced
in Years-Cotton Has Deterlorated.
Rice and Sugar Have Improved.

New Orleans Picayune Aug. 20: The
past week has been record breaker III
the way of hot weather over the greater
portion of the cotton belt. In Texas,
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and
even Mississippi and Alabama the tenn
perature has been higher than has been
experienced in many years. For the
greater part of the week the thermome-
ter has been above 100 over all Texas
and the other portions of the western
belt, and during at least two days the
temperature rose above the century
mark in Louisiana This hot weather,
accompanied by absence of rain, has un-
doubtedy done further damage to the
cotton crop, about the only compensat-
| ing advantage having been the destruc-
ton of the boil weevils which the heat
has wrought.
Owing to the heat and dry weather
there has been considerable shedding
and premature opening of the bolls, SO
| that on the whole the condition of the
crop has deteriorated except in the east
ern portion of the belt. At the Gloss
of the week rain fell and cooler weather
greatly relieved the situation in the
western belt, but it is feared that the
damage has been practically irreparable

"WHAT IS WHISKEY"
British Royal Commission Has Agreed
on Definition.

Washington, Aug 22.--In the race for
an answer to What is whiskey" the
heavy-footed Briton has beaten the
American more than mile. They
started even a little more than two
years ago. The American government
is still funing and fretting' about 1t,
but the British Royal Commission has
come to a conclusion Its answer has
been received by the Department of
Agriculture and attorneys for the two
whiskey factions.
Every grain distillate when reduced
to irinkab1e strength is whiskey in the
British Empire. II the distillate is
made from some material other than
grain. it is not whiskey The process
used makes no difference. Irish whis-
| key is the beverage made in ireland
and Scotch is the product sent out from
the stills of that country.
The definition sweeps away all the re-
fnements in nomenclature Attorney
General Bonaparte undertook to make
based on different, processes of manu-.
facture. They are all foolishness. Iht
| fact that it is drinkable stuff made from
grain is the only one that has any bear
ing on the question, say the British
authorities.
Millions have been spent in the figh
, in America about what is whiskey Z
It really is ridiculous the amount o
| pother that has been kicked up about i
t During the fight practically .everybod
: concerned has lost sight of the cenTs
5 fact, which is that when man ask
for whiskey he Graves certain amoun

FOREST FIRES
Railroads Cooperating on Their Right
of Way With the Forest Service.

For the purpose of reducing the num-
Der of fires along the right of way in
the Arkansas National Forest the For
est Service has recently entered into
cooperative agreement with the Kan
sas City Southern railroad. 1t is a well
known fact that coal burning locomo-
tives are a prolific source of forest fires,
particularly on heavy grades where
dozen or more fires may be started
within a distance of a mile. Many of
the most destructive fires have been
caused in this manner and incalculable
damage done.
The agreement between the Forest
service and the Kansas City Southern
provides that the railroad shall clear its
right of way of all infammable material
for distance of fifty feet on each side
of the track and burn over an addi-
tional one hundred feet wherever neces-
sarv. A provision is made for the use
Of efficient spark arresters, and that
fires shall be reported to the nearest
agent, who will notify forest officers and
section crews. The maintenance OF a
forest telephone line along the right OF
way will also be allowed.
On its side, the Forest Service will
patrol and supervise the clearing of the
right of way, supply tools, and main
tain and operate sufficient telephones as
we'll as grant the railroad the timber
free of charge, where it is necessary to
clear the right of way.
This agreement is for period of ten
years and has already been put into eff
feet. Six telephones have been estab-
lished along the line and excellent re-
suits are being obtained. Inasmuch as
great majority of the fires on the
Arkansas National Forest can be laid tc
this source, it is thought that great
| reduction in the area of burned ovel
LAND will be made during the coming
season:
| The Forest Service will be glad tc
have similar cooperation with othe
railroads traversing national forests.

GOOD ROADS
Favors the Kind That Is Not Model
but Will Be Permanent.


Alexandria Democrat: We have no
brief to speak for the other papers
are amply able to take
care of themselves-bu the Alexandra
Democrat, doesn't object to good roads,
ip fact IFS editor kff9ws the value OF
and necessity for them quite as well as
Governor Sanders or any other of the
recent proselytes who are now-under
the Sanders inspiration-so vehement
ly shouting for them. But we want not
only good roads," not m odels, but
roads that will remain here until our
grandchildren become old men and
women. Louisiana soil j snot adapted
for the construction of such roads, un-
less heavily reinforced with other and
very expensive material.
So far as Sanders is concerned, he
is political fixture anyhow, like those
who have preceded him, until he has
run his course. This will happen
some time before Gabriel blows his
trumpet for the final resurrection, and
we will then, if not before, get rid ot
I'll the old political barnacles who have
been clinging with remorseless tenacit1
to the ship of State since the white
people, after the overthrow of the mig
ger, carpet bagger and scalawag, re

In Bush's report the following pro-
