A dead negro
Man Shot by Officers Was Also Iden.
titled as One Who Murdered Ne
gro at Virgins.

Johnny Howard, the man who was
recently shot by Officers Norwood
and Moore and who has been con-
fined in the county jail, is dead, hav-
ing succumbed to his injuries at
about $50 this morning
Robert Palmer, colored, an employe
of the Finkbine Lumber Company at
Virgins, was sent to Hattiesburg by
that concern to look at the man in
order to see if he was not one of the
negroeG who killed another negro at
Virgins last December, and although
Howard died before Palmer reached
the city, the dead man was positively
identified as the one who fired the
fatal shot on that occasion
Palmer stated to News represent
ative that Howard had been in Wig
gins only short while when the
murder was committed, and that he
went by the name of Ed Mack. He
also had three partners, known as
L1ge Walton, E. Mcdaniel and A
Bowers, all of whom he can identify
if found
1t was generally believed by local
authorities that Howard was a crimi-
nal of the worst kind in fact this
was evidenced by his conduct when
the officers attempted to arrest him,
after he had emptied III
several times at citizens on East 7th
street, and finally turned the weapon
upon the policemen, in an apparent
effort to murder them outright.
1t is believed that some, if not all
of the three men who were with How
ard at Virgins at the time the MUIR
der was committed, are now in Hat
tiesburg, and dilligent effort to cap
ture them will be made

Columbus, Miss. April 12.-Woud-
fin Gardner, who last week assaulted
little seven-year-old girl, and who,
after having made his escape, was
captured, brought to Columbus, tried
before a lunacy commission and ad-
Judged insane, has escaped again. AT
ter the young man had been declared
lunatic he was given into the Gus
tody of his father, and arrangements
were being made to send him to the
asylum at Meridian, but he was not
closely watched, and now he has dis
appeared from the Gardner home on
North Third avenue.
The family is prominent here, and
the fact that the young man has been
allowed to escape a second time is
creating comment.

CAMPAIGN TO GUST
THE CATTLE TICK
Special TO The NeicS.

Special to The NeWs.
Jackson, Miss, April 12.-The Mis-
sissippi Live Stock Sanitary Poard is
soon to begin campaign of exter-
mination against the cattle tick. The
board has adopted the plan of Repre-
sentative O'Byrne of Noxubee county,
and Prof. Archibald Smith in charge
OF the work, has requested Mr..
O'Byrne to become active field agent
in the work.
Mr.. OByrne is the inventor of the
pool bath for cattle. The method is
both inexpensive and efficacious, and
as the inventor, Prof. Smith, desires
to have Mr.. OTByrne take charge of
this work and give demonstrations
throughout the state during the sum-
mer. Mr.. O'Byrne describes his bath
as pool about SX10 feet and eight or
ten feet deep. He used a solution of
chemicals and the cattle are driven
into the pool and made to swim
across.
He has used it with good results
for a year or two with success, and
Prof. Smith, secretary of the live
stock board, who has investigated,
has offered him the position of field
agent or demonstrator of the board.
1t is simple method, and 500 cattle
can be dipped for cost of so or So.
Two dippings rid the cattle of the
tick, while an occasional dipping
throughout the season prevent the
tick injecting the cattle again.
Mr.. OByrne has the offer of the
live stock board under consideration.
and his friends are urging him to ac.
| cept which he probably will do.
The state has made an appropria-
tion of 100000 to fight the cattle tick,
while the federal government has ap-
propriated a like sum, and the officers
of the live stock board expect to have
the quarantine against Mississippi cat
tie raised before the close of the year.

books of travel and adventure were
to be had for the asking.
Some of these volumes were near
" worn out through long years of
handling by youthful hands, and the
tattered condition Of the book gen.
orally attested its popularity. On
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons,
which were school holidays, the
children of the wealthy, the middle
classes and the rag-tag Of the city
met on common ground In the wait
ing room of the library. A newsboy
from the "Newsboys' Home" went
away with smiling face and a copy
Of Ragged Dick" Rough and
Ready" or some other story from the
pen of Horatio Alger, Jr, under his
arm. No doubt the story Of his own
life, poor little waif OF a bustling
city, was as full of adventure and
romance as the tale he so eagerly de-
voured. Some of these little fel-
lows from the Newsboys' Home were
studious and ambitious, filled with a
desire to learn, and carried home
with them books of history and trav-
iel. The library was boon to all,
high and low, rich and poor, and a
wonderful help to thousands of stud
ents who filled the many institutions
OF education for which that city is
noted.
The libraries Of the country towns
are generally endowed in spirit of
philanthropy by some wealthy citi-
zen and the benefit to the little COM
munity can not be calculated in dol
lars and cents. Under the Carnegie
endowment system 1t is not hard for
town to secure the foundation of
a fine library that will always be a
great benefit to the town that takes
advantage OF the opportunity. The
burden it inflicts upon the people Is
trifling one and unless one has had
the opportunity to observe the bene.
fits OF the free public library to the
dwellers Of a community, they car
not realize the value of such an in.
stitution and the influence for bet.
ter ideals it exerts. Nearly all the
progressive and up-to-date towns OF
the United States that are eligible
are striving to secure a Carnegie H.
brary, and any town that can nv ,
little effort secure such a gift ant
fails to do so, is working a hardship
on the majority Of its citizens. There
is no institution from which the pub
lie can derive such valuable and ner
manent benefit.
