SHOT negro THROUGH
A CRACK IN HOUSE

Shreveport, La, April 27.-Poking
gun through crack in the building
while James Ogletree, a negro, was
sitting in his own home, some miscre-
ant fired at the negro, wounding him
severely in the hands and shoulder.
Ogletree came to the Charity Hos
pital here for treatment yesterday.
The negro says he has no idea who
his assailant was nor what cause led
to the shooting.
Will Sanders, negro, and Sam
Mitchell, also came here to the hos
pital yesterday. Sanders was suffer
ing from a gunshot wound in the alb
domen, and Mitchell is wounded in
the limbs.
1t seems that the two men were
standing in crowd, and when their
assailant opened fire on another ne
gro in the crowd, but wounded them
instead of the man he was shooting
at.

TO GET READY FOR
STATE REUNION
Suggestions as to How Veterans May
Be Assisted to Entertain Visitors
to Hattiesburg.

The big Confederate reunion now in
progress at Mobile has brought to
mind the fact that Hattiesburg is to
entertain the state reunion of Veter-
ans some time during next Septem-
ber, and also the fact presents itself
that those veterans who visit Hatties-
burg at that time will have to be ta-
ken care of, and this, of course, will
require money, which the local camp
has not and has no means of getting,
except by subscription.
In this connection it has been sug-
gested by many that the idea of beg
ging" for the Confederate cause has
become disagreeable one to ma
jority of the veterans, and, on this
account, it is necessary to provide
some other means of raising the nee
essary funds.
1t has been suggested that a con.
siderable amount of money might be
raised by giving from time to time, at
Hamper Park, sacred band concerts
on Sundays. The idea is to charge
no admission fee, but to place a re-
ceptacle in a convenient and conspic
uous place, where those who enter
the park on those days may make any
contribution they may feel disposed
to make.
1t is thought that in this way q
considerable sum of money could be
secured and the donations thus OBJ
tanned could not be classed as 'chari
ty," for the contributor will get some
thing for his money, and the benefi
ciary will not be placed in the atti
tude of begging"
1t is desired to make the Hatties
burg reunion success in every posi-
| BILE way, and it is now time to begir
to raise funds for the occasion, 81
that every veterans who visits the
city at that time may be entertained
in royal style and not left to TAX
care of themself and do the best h
can.
