President Murphy of the Cubs will
make no efforts to induce President
Robson of the St. Louis Cardinals to
advance the closing games of the

as being opposed to advancing the
games in order that the worlds series
might be played at an earlier date than
otherwise would be possible.
Murphy believes. in view of the fact
that the teams playing in the last two
world series have been confronted with
exceptionally bad weather and that the

Miss Pritchard Kills Sam Ford
Jealousy the Alleged Cause of Fatal Shooting at Pol
lOck---Accused Arrested and Brought to COlfax
Then Released Under $1,000 Bond.

News was received here from
Pollock, about noon on Monday,
May 30th, that Sam E. Ford, book
keeper for J. F. Ball q Bros. saw
mill, had been shot and instantly
killed by a young lady, Miss Carrie
Pritchard.
1t is alleged that Ford had been
engaged TO Miss Pritchard, having
paid attentions to her for several
years, and that the date for his
marriage to another girl, Miss
Birdie Long, had been set for
June %.
James F. BALI the only witness
to the tragedy, testified that the
young lady entered his private Of
flee at 10 o'clock in the morning
and entered into conversation with
Ford, and that they began to
quarrel. She pulled a revolver
out of her hand satchel and fred
one shot, which took effect in
Ford's jaw and lodged in his neck.
causing instant death. The cause
of the tragedy is imputed to
jealousy. The remains of Ford
were shipped the afternoon of the
killing to his fathers home in
Searcy, Ark. Ford was ~ years
old, and had only recently taken
ont a life insurance policy in favor
of his mother for $1,000. He was
recently made a member of the
Order of Elks in Alexandria.
We understand s. E. Ford was
the bookkeeper for the j. F. Ball
& Bros. Lumber Co., at Pollock,
and was in consultation with Mr..
j. +. Ball in his private office when
Miss Pritchard entered the Office.
After few hurried words between
Ford and Miss Pritchard, in which
both expressed excitement and an
ger, the latter quickly opened the
handbag which she carried and
took out a 3S-caliber revolver and

Atchafalaya Improvement
Rivers and Harbors Bill Carries Big Appropriation for
Deep Water from Atchafalaya River Through Net
work of Lakes and Bayous to the Gulf.

Washington, D. c., May 81
Louisiana scored a big triumph
here today when the conference of
the House and Senate, who have
had the rivers AMI harbors bill
under consideration, reached an
agreement fsvoring Senator Fos-
ter's amendment providing for an
appropriation of $4,000 for i'm
proving the mouth of the Atcbafa-
laya river.
This was the largest amendment
offered to the bill after it reached
the Senate from the House, and
the most optimistic friends of the
Atchafalaya hardly dared to allow
themselves to be optimistic as to
The final outcome of the amend
ment, because they realized that
the bill was already heavily load
ed down, and feared Republican
congress would be chary about
making such a large appropriation
for Democratic State.
Senator Foster has been indie
fatigable, however, in working for
this improvement. His address
before the Senate committee at
the time he offered the amend
ment was admitted on all sides to
be very weighty and convincing
argument. 1t won friends in the
upper body, but it was realized
that there would be hard fight in
the inducing the House conferees
to agree to the amendment.
Senator Foster has been untir-
ing in his efforts, however, and the

ducing instant death.
Sheriff A. b. Perkins was mott.
fed of the killing about noon, and
by one o'clock Deputy l.. o. Gin.
ton, in company with DIR. E. B.
Gray, coroner, were on their way
to the scene of the homicide. An
inquest was held, the finding OF
the jury being in accordance with
the circumstances already stated.
Miss Pritchard was arrested and
brought to Colfax by Deputy Gin
ton that night.
On advice received from Judge
Blhckman, that he had fixed the
bond of the accused at $1,000,
which would be signed by Mr.. j.
f. Ball. Miss Pritchard was not
put in Jail, but spent the night
at the Williamson hotel. The
next day she remained in the court
house and Sheriff's office until the
afternoon, when Mr.. Ball signed
her bond and she was released,
and went back to Pollock that
evening. On Wednesday she re-
turned to Colfax, having a brother
here keeping the Big Pine hotel,
preferring to remain here for a
while, at least until after the grand
jury has passed upon her case.
Judge Blackman has ordered the
grand jury to meet on Monday,
June 9th, to examine into the cir
cumstances.
Miss Pritchard is about 25 years
of age, and seems to have num-
Der of friends who claim that she
was justified in her action. She
had been visiting friends in Hot
Springs, Ark, for several months,
until a couple of weeks ago, when
she returned to Pollock and re-
sumed her duties in the commits
sary. Ford's parents are said to
wealthy residents of Searcy, Ark.
