Special Cable to The Tribune.
PARIS, Dec. 7--Madame Ducret,
widow OF the anarchist, tells a grim
story of how the bandit. Lacombe. tor
tured her and her husband for hours
before shooting the man.
Lacombe entered Ducret's house at
10 p. M, armed with two revolvers and
declared Ducret had betrayed him to
the police. Despite Ducret 3 denial
and his wife's pleas for mercy, La
combe held them at bay, declaring be
would kill them at 2 a. m.. and even
threatening TO kill their 5.yearold son.
After four hours of the ordeal La
combe gave Ducret a coin, saying:
"Toss it, heads you die at s. tails,
[ fire at once.
The fall of the coin gave Ducret four
hours more to live. Madame Ducret
says those four hours were like CEN
turies Of agony. Lacombe spent the
time singing ribald songs and joking,
taunting and jeering his victims. At 6
O'Clock Lacombe approached their bed,
saying;

He fired twice, mortally wounding
Ducret, but missing the woman. La.

NEED $4,000 FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOL
TO ASK SUBSCRIPTIONS
SUPT. r. II. CANNON WRITES
OF CONDITION AND NEED
OF THE SCHOOL.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
The records for the past year show
a total of 688, with an enrolment of
l55 in the high school and SO in the
grammar grades. With only eleven
teachers, including the superintend-
ent, only one who has had experience
in school work can appreciate the
crowded condition that prevailed in
the school with such an enrolment as
this.
OF the above enrolment, 13 gradu-
ated from the high school, A few
others from both the grammar and
high school grades will doubtless
move away or drop out of school
from one cause or another; but we
may reasonably expect that enough
will move in to more than offset the
loss from the above causes, while the
normal increase in the primary
grades VII approximate go at least.
Thus it is seen that the enrolment
next year will, under normal condi-
tions, run between 725 and 750.
To meet the needs of this army of
boys and girls the local school board
Ihas the biggest job on its hands of
any similar body of men in the town.
The financial condition of the board
is we'll known by all citizens who
have been interested enough to in
form themselves regarding the mat
ter. | am sure the board is doing its
oest to meet the demands. To say
nothing of the need for new build
ing, | need at least five additional
teachers. The board can give me on
lly one.
We have been having only an eight
months term. 1t is the purpose of
the board to run the school nine
months next year and thus put the
1school on an equal footing with other
schools throughout the state To do
this, however, it will be necessary to
raise some $4,000 by private means,
as the revenues of the district are
not sufficient to meet outstanding OBJ
legations and pay the running ex-
penses of the school.
This is written in the hope that it
may help to make the work of these
men lighter who are laboring so
earnestly to meet the demands which
the public has placed upon them. In
the next few weeks the matter of
raising the needed funds to help run
the school another year will be pre-
sented to the taxpayers and all who
are interested in the welfare of the
public school in Conway, The work
will be done privately. Meet those
who have the matter in hand with a
will to help. R. H. CANNON.

4TH AT CONWAY
SAFE AND Sane

In marked contrast with turbulent
scenes and tragedies reported from
nearby places, the Fourth of July at
Conway was one of the quietest days
in Conway's history. No organized
celebration had been arranged for
the day here, and there was a gen
eral exodus of citizens to other towns
and to private picnic parties given at
various places. Throughout the aft
ernoon the streets were deserted and
Sabbath-like quiet was noticeable
everywhere.

TO DAILY SUBSCRIBERS

The Log Cabin Democrat takes
pleasure in announcing that from
and after this date the city circula-
ton of the Daily Edition will be in
charge of ]. F. Allinder. a former
Conway young man who has recentlv
returned from stay of several
years in Missouri and Oklahoma. Mr..
Alllnder has had considerable expe-
rience in handling carrier routes in
Kansas City, and the duties of his
position here will not be entirely new
to him.
Mr.. Allinder will have entire
of the distribution and collection of
all papers delivered by carrier in the
city He will purchase the papers at
this office, employ carriers to deliver
them, will solicit new subscribers and
all subscriptions from and after July
! will be payable to him.
Besides arranging with him to de-
liver papers for which subscriptions
have been paid in advance, we have
also employed Mr.. Allinder to collect
and adjust all daily subscriptions due
prior to July 1. AS it has been i'm
possible for US to make regular col
lections during the past few months.
and as several different collectors
have been employed, there are doubt
less some errors in the accounts as
they appear on our books. These err
rors Mr.. Allinder is authorized to ad-
just to the satisfaction of the sub
scribers.
We believe under the new system,
the distribution of the papers will eb
done with greater regularity, the cir
culation of the paper increased and

OFFICERS SLAYER
LYNCHED BY MOB
PAUL NISLER Is KILLED
JOHN WILLIAMS, HIS SLAYER,
HANGED B YMOB NEAR
PLUMERVILLE.

John Williams, the negro who kill
ed Deputy Sheriff Paul Nisler of
Plumerville at a negro picnic at Men
flee yesterday, was hanged to a tele-
Plumerville by mob late last night,
according to reports reaching here
early today. Williams body, still
swinging to the cross-arm of the
pole, was seen by passengers on
trains going through Plumerville this
morning.
Various rumors of wholesale
slaughter of negroes at Menifee and
Plumervlle We're in circulation here
today, but inquiries over the long
distance telephone proved the rumors
to be false.
The picnic at which Officer Nisler
was killed was one of unusual law
lessness, judging from all reports. 1t
is stated that bar at which both
whiskey and beer were openly sold
was in operation and large number
Of the negroes were drunk Many
fights occurred during the day, and
Nisler, together with Deputy Sheriff
C. J. Taylor and Constable ]. M.
Johnson, attempted to arrest VII
iams, who is said to have been one
of the leaders in the disturbance.
AS the officers approached Will
liams, the negro is said to have pull
ed gun and begun shooting. At the
first exchange of shots Nisler fell
with a bullet hole through his head
Several of the officers bullets
struck Williams, but he succeeded in
making his escape Other negroes
fired in the direct on of the officers
interfering with their pursuit OF
Williams, but ne was finally over
taken.
The officers did not go directly to
Morrilton to place the negro in Jail
but the mob which had formed quick
ly on receipt of the news, located
them and took Williams away from
them, hanging the negro to conven-
lent telephone pole.
Nisler never regained conscious
ness after he was shot. He received
the wound about 3 o'clock in the aft
ernoon, and was taken on the accom-
mediation train to Plumerville, dying
about an hour after reaching that
place. The dead young officer was
unmarried and lived with his father
and mother at Plumerville. He was
only 21 years of age.
Williams was Faulkner county
negro. He has been working on
farms near Conway and was employ
ed on the waterworks construction
work last year. His relatives here
have been making an effort today to
raise sufficient funds to have his
body brought here for burial.
