Mr.. Aswell was not elected
governor, but he has moved up
to a commanding position in
n0ti0nal affairs. He canvassed
the northwest for President Will
Son, and was heralded as one of
the greatest orators on either
side of the campaign. And an.
other peculiar incident is that
Wilson carried every state where
Aswell put up a fight. Any one
who imagines that he will have
nothing to say about Federal ap-
pointlnents in this state and the
south, have another little think
coming to them. Aswell and
Wilson are personal friends. be.
sides are riding in the same band
wagon. Others may have some-
thing to say, of cours but no ap-
pOintment will be made in Lou,s.
lana without his approval. His
defeat for one Office made him
greater in a larger field of use.

The negro could not be described.
When Mrs. Fields heard a
noise and was awakened she saw
a bright light in the room, the
intruder having placed a piece of
paper over the fire and this had
blazed up. The negro grasped
a pistol on the mantle and fired
directly at Mrs. Fields. the ball
passing through her right breast
and penetrating lung. Mrs.
Fields will probably not survive.
Dr.. Fields made an effort to
catch the negro, but was unsuc

An hour later two white men
were. attacked on Nineteenth
street bv a negro, who attempted
to shoot them, but no cartridges
were in the weapon. The whites
knocked the negro down and
took the pistol from him, but be
escaped. The pistol was found
to be. the property of DR.. Fields,
