less Body of Alex Lndrott
Is Found

HOQUIAM, Nov. 22.-The lifeless
body of Alex Lindrott, native of
Germany, was found hanging to the
rafters in lonely cabin IL miles west
of this city Monday night by Dan
Beard, a well known logger Beard,
while making his way to this city,
was caught in rain storm and seeing
the cabin in the clearing, sought shell
ter from the elements. On entering
he stumbled over the mans bedding
and lighting match to make sur
vey of the room, the lifeless body was
seen hanging from the rafters. Lind
rott had been dead for several days,
and the blackened face and protrud-
ing eyes made an impression that
Beard will never forget. Beard was
speechless for a moment, then he ran
from the room and came to this city,
where he notified the authorities.
Lindrott was seen alive just week
ago by the section foreman at Tu-
lips and asked if there was any work
in that neighborhOod. LindrOtt left
note written on the edge of a news

In the third ward of Caldwell
Parish last Friday John K.
Brown, Jr., a farmer, was plow'
ing in his field. Near the noon
hour his young son, Burney,
came up, and asked to be allowed
to ride the mule with which his
father was blowing. The father
placed the child upon the animal,
and they started for home. The
mule became frightened at
another animal, which dashed up
behind suddenly, and ran away.
The child, becoming entangled in
the harness, was thrown from
the mule and his brains were
dashed out agains the ground.
The body was beaten against the
ground for sixty or seventy yards
before it was freed from the
harness.

Columbia Wins.

Columbia WINS:
There is astory that Sam Jones
used to tell in one of his sermons
that fits the contest between
Clarks and Columbia here last
Saturday. Mr.. Jones said he
was in favor Of dancing in just
one way. If he had a daughter
who was a failure in her head,
who couldn't be educated in the
mind, he would go to a dancing
master and say: "Mr. Dancing
Master, my daughter is a failure
in her head, | wish for goodness
sake you would educate her
heels"
In the many events of Satur-
Hay, Columbia showed she was
educated in the head; Clarks was
certainly educated in the heels.
In the morning literary events
Columbia won nearly all the
points. In the afternoon ath-
letic contests Clarks won a
majority Of first places. But as
in most cases the mental sur
passed the physical, and Column
hia won the banner by a final
score of GO to So. The school
making the next best record was
Grayson, with some twenty odd
points. The pupils of Grayson
showed great progress and acted
like ladies and gentlemen at all
times. Grayson will be a strong
contender for the banner next
year.
Lack of space precludes indi-
vidual mention, but special men,
ton should be made of the fine
hurdling of the auburn haired
gentleman of the Clarks team,
who so CALAMITY left the mill to
enter school three days before
the contest. For one of such
tender years his work was indeed
excellent. Another noble sacri-
nee was made when the young
gentleman, who had been going
to college at Ruston, decided to
enter school at Clarks a day or so
before Saturday. His progress
from" a college to elementary
school work shows rapid advance
ment indeed.
Another added feature was the
yelling Of the Clarks students.
This was both entertaining and
enjoyable, especially to grown
folks. Their sweet, little voices
filled the air with pathos and sad
ness.
The reason of this yelling was
not fully understood until it was
later discovered, that was all
they got out it. Columbia re-
ceived the banner in hilarious
gIee, but Clarks was disconsolate
as she had already picked out a
place in which to hang it.
The basket ball game, like
everything else, went disastrous.
ly for Clarks. This was especially
shameful, as Clarks was so ably
coached from the side lines by
General Cameron. Of course
coaching from the side line is
y
strictly forbidden, but the Gen
eral says he is so accustomed tt
command things on account Of
his military experience with thu
Boy Scouts.
Each Columbia student VIII
contested, is to be congratulated
for his or her individual effort AM
the manly and womanly way il
which they went about it. Tha
the banner remained with us il
due primarily to them and tn
good work they did.
All hail Columbia!
