slider matters of Importance to our

matter was presented In the form Of
n petition which had been signed by
quite number .Qf the patrons Of
Of the school.
The petition was not granted and
the proposition was declined by the
trustees. for various reasons. The
foremost reason was that 1t is
against the statutes of the state
Nevada to permit Indian children to
attend the public school and be
taught In the same classes with the
white children. 1t was the opinion
OF the trustees tha attendance OF
the Indian children would be a bone
Of contention amongg the teacher
and the patrons Of the school and.
therefore the petition was not
granted.
The claim VI the government

IN the exclusively Indian school.
They propose to have the Indian
children washed and prepared TO-.

their being in an unsanitary condi-
ton, and claim that 1t will not ef-
feet the maintance of the present

Primary Election Law,

The primary election law which
governs party nominations in Louis
lana should be amended->in several
respects. One of the objections il
the limitation of time following the
meetings of the Executive Commit
tee. Instead of fen days there should
be at least twenty or thirty days
during which candidates could sub
nit their candidacy to the party's
authority in each parish or city or
town before the nominations are
declared to be closed.
1t is frequently the case that
some desirable candidate can not be
induced to submit his nomination
ten days after the meeting of the
executive committee of his party.
The intent of this limitation, as
originally considered, was suggest
ed in the interests of politicians and
of place-hunters who are always
active and alert, while the great
mass of the people, being busted
with their affairs and earning a
livelihood for their families and
themselves, give little heed to po-
litical affairs until the date for the
nomination is fixed.

said he had not looked into the

He is the author of Act No. i25 OF
1902, doubling the price of sea
marsh and other lands. He also
wrote Act No. t2i of 1902, which au-
thorized the salt of the bottoms OF
lakes whose waters have dried up
These lake bottoms could not be
classed as swamp or sea marsh
areas.
Discussing the White lake deal ir
general, Attorney General GuioT
said: IF White lake were. a navi-
gable body of water there can be nc
question as TO its ownership by the
State. II belonged TO the State by
virtue of her sovereignty. 1t did not
come by any act of Congress, under

A NEGRO'S ASSAULT
Young Lady's Dreadful Experience
Within A Stones Throw of Home.

The Queensborough addition was
stirred last night to the extremity
of excitement over an assault by a
negro. It was about 9:30 o'clock
when Miss Florrie Ashford, an en-
lploye of the Shreveport Telephone
Company, alighted from a car OF the
Fair Grounds line within a block of
her home in the Queensborough adj
dition and short distance from the
viaduct. When within sight of her
home a negro darted from ambush
and seized her by the shoulder and
threw her to the ground. The young
lady yelled murder and resisted the
negro desperately and released her
self from his grasp. The negro, unz
daunted, pursued her again, and
there followed another struggle.
Fortunately Miss Ashford's cries
for help were heard by the neigh
bors nearby, who rushed from
their homes to her rescue. The ne
gro fled.
AS soon as the assault was known,
a. little while thereafter, scores of
men, neighbors and residents of the
vicinity gathered at the scene and
instituted pursuit, but in vain.
The young lady on reaching her
home related her experience to her
parents. Her dress was torn, her
hair disheveled, and she had num-
Der of scratches and bruises result
ing from the encounter with the
negro.
This is a bold attack, an assault
designed with premeditation. The
negro no doubt was familiar with
The young lady's movements. For
lunately his hellish design was
frustrated by the determined re-
sistance of the young lady.
What is to be done, what action
or policy should there be. pursued
when women, unaceompanied by a
male escort, are liable to assault?
AT the police station there is be-
ing detained a negro, Sam Clark, an
employe of the Traction Company !.
who has had charge of the distri-l
button of the red lanterns which are
placed at night as danger signals
along the tracks of The compony.
This negro is being held for identi-
fication

THE HANSON CASE
The Caucasian Is Awaiting Develop
ments-it Is Not Dealing in Sen
satiOnal or Exaggerated Reports.

The Caucasian has been querieC
by number of its friends as to its
opinion or its view of the confess
ion, so-called, of Willie Brown, {
convict guard, which would connect
several persons, never indicted
with the murder of George Hanson
The Caucasian will admit, in al
candor, that it is not in the least
surprised at any revelations which
may be disclosed, but it will reserve
its opinion.
In this connection it would say
without hesitation that ii would moi
harm any man, even to a hair Of
the head, yet it would not and will
not swerve from its duty.
II may be said that, from our
view of the case, if Brown has any
knowledge of the crime it may be
before or after the act, and possi-
bly, he may not know a great deal
which may be sustained in law, and
he may have been an actor thai
would lead to the implication of
lOthers.
1t is no surprise to the Caucasian
to have been informed that Eddy
was in Seattle. He has been there
with his mother. When he left here
he was urged to come to Settle by
his mother. 1t is possible that he
may have a direct connection with
the crime, and he may have been an
accessory before or after the act.
As to the story related the Cau-
casian will have to have better and
stronger information than that
which has been sensationalized.
AS to the watch, the knowledge of
its whereabouts was. known to the
Caucasian and one of its friends
several months ago It was known
that the watch was i'll the possess
ion Of Bessie Egan, alias Bessie
Dugan, alias Bessie Eddie. Some of
her movements from the time of
her disappearance from Shreveport
to Oregon was known to the Cau-
casian and its friend, but for rea-
sons which we would not now eX-
|lpain it was determined on a reti-
@cence 1t was agreed between the
Caucasian and its friend that we
would continue to- note the Incl
dents and connections Of the case
for reasons of our own.
When the report of the so-called
Brown confession was given public
ity it was then determined to advise
Sheriff Flournoy as to the watch,
its number and where it could be
obtained. In the watch is CEN
tered a mystery which Bessie
Eddie may solve if she will.
Her story that the watch was given
to her by Dugan is fabrication.
Dugan was convicted of man
slaughter and sent to the pen in
1906. George Hanson was murdered
October 3, 1907. If Bessie will she
can give all the details connecting
her with the watch and how she ac-
quired possession of it.
This much is said in Difference to
the subscribers, the. friends and the
readers of the Caucasian, which is
never sensational.
