ATTACK OF 4 NEGRO MAN
Wretch Endeaeored to Climb into
ner Vehicle, but She Keeps Him
From Accomplishing Es'i Design
and Escapes.

La shing her horse until the ANNA |,
Utmost frantic with fright, started TO
run away, Mr4 Minnie York Of West
Dallas escaped from the clutches OF "a
pegro Who elambered' on the rear end
Of the buggy she was driving on 'he
West Dallas pike.
In a lonely part Of the river bot
toms where weeds grow high and no
residence is in calling distance the
attack occurred: Mrs. York was
crossing bridge over g little creek
when the negro, who was sitting upon
the side rail. jumped in front of the
horse and hourishing q heavy club Or
dered her to stop. =
Without .waiting.'a second the lady
whipped III her hotse and the animal
dashed forward too quickly for the
negro to grab the bride. coming near
shocking him to the ground.
- As the buggy. a two.seated affair,
vent past the man grabbed for rear
seat and chung to the back of the rig
Looking back Mrs. York saw the ne
gro's face peering at her overthe tops
Of the cushions and terrified she sank
to her knees on the floor of the buggy
and lashed her horse with the butt
end OF the buggy whip. The vehicle
dragged by the frantic animn! violant-
ly lurched from side to side as it sped
over the uneven road. After travelling
thus about half a mile Mrs. York
heard the, negro cry out as he relaxed
his hold. She looked back and saw
him picking himself up out OF cloud
of.dust at the side of the road.
Tt took the lady some minutes to
calm the terrified horse She then
drove to a store owned by her hus
hand and his brother Police we're
notified and search made for negro
Place where he. had fallen from the
buggy was discovered. He had been
dragged, and few drops of blood,
apparently from his nose, found, but
the negro had disappeared. Police
and a posse made search OF the vi
cinity, but to avail.

4 SENTIMENTAL PRETENSE.

What care have the Bosses OF New

dcred the people under the guise OF
law?
In their efforts at discrediting the
registrar of voters, Sam MOntgOm:
cry appointed by Governor l., 4.
Hall, the Bosses of New Orleans are
indulging in sentimental effusions OF
which the following is a sample:
"Disfranchisement of men who
fought for the supremacy of Louis
iana'S white Democracy in the dark
days Of 1872 and 1874 by Registrar of
Voters Montgomery's men is Great
ing a furOre in the Twelfth Ward.
Scratched names were being held up
in the Office of the registrar and
could not have been published until
after registration had been finally
closed, had not two regular canvass
ers WHO went over the rolls Friday
made the discovery. Among those
whose names had been stricken
from the rolls as illegally registered
is Columbus H. Allen, veteran of the
civil war; Samuel Marks, veteran of
the Coushatta riots of 1874 and a
Democrat who served Imprisonment
for the part he took to free the
white men of Louisiana; Adam We
Der, who distinguished himself in
reconstruction days, and a host of
other honored citizens who have
long been identified with the city's
progress.
The law applying to the registra-
lion of voters is plain and provides
no exceptions, whether it be Column
bus H. Allen, Samuel Marks or any
VetefAn Of the Gonfederacy, the
Geushatta riots or any of the citi-
zens of the highest standing in the
State.
The only question or issue is: Has
the law which applies to and gov
erns the registration of voters been
obseryed2 Is the registration legal?
If the registration has been irreg
iliar and defective and is not in COM
plianee with The law, the duty of the
registrar OF voters is plain.
Any sentimental pretense from
