The Caldwell watchman. (Columbia, La.) 1885-1946, 1914-11-13

A piece of detective work
was demonstrated last Saturday
night by Sheriff Godfrey, when
ne recaptured Dave Reynolds,
the prisoner who sawed his way
out of Jail about a month ago.
Reynold has been on the dodge
every since he effected his lib
etrty, but Sheriff Godfrey has
been sleeping with one eye open
and a on Saturday night Reynolds
fathers home was visited by
the sheriff in company with his
deputies, and there they found
Reynold and placed him under
arrest for the second time. He
was brought back to Columbia
that night and placed behind
the bars where he was kept I'M
til Tuesday when he was trans
terred to serve his sentence of
two years, by Judge Wear, in
the penitentiary at Baton Rouge.
Reynolds case is fresh in the
memery Of our readers, so it
would be useless for US to re-
peat what we have already men
toned about it.

Mrs. R. N. Grant of Clarks. The

The results of a crap game
that was being played between
two negroes, Ed Newson, the
other negro is unknown, and
Sam Holland, a.White man, lat,
Riverton last Thursday night, are
that the unknown negro is dead
and the white man is shot in the
head, but not desperately so. Ed
Newsom is at large and has not
been heard of since. AS near
as we can gather the facts is
that the negroes had won a sum
of money from the white man
and in some way quarrel per-
sued and the results are as a.
bove stated. 1t is not known
who did the shooting. Sheriff
Godfrey was Immediately mott
fled and in a short time was on
the scene, but no arrest was
made, The one that is thought to
have done the shooting had fled.
The white man was found lying
on the floor with wounds in his
face. 1t was thought to be Sc
rious, but after carrying him to
his fathers home the doctor
pronounced that Holland wounds
were painful but not dangerous.
Sheriff Godfrey then made an
attempt to capture the fleeing
negro, but no clue could be OBJ
tanned. The search then was
given up and the Sheriff and his
deputies returned home about
three O'Clock Friday morning.
On Saturday morning Sheriff
Godfrey made the second trip to
the scene, at which, time he was
prompted that the white man
is thought to have fired the shot
that killed the unknown negro
and also firing at Newsom, who
turned and fired return shots,
hitting Holland in the face. A
visit was made then to Hollands
home and upon inquiring for him
his father told them he had gone
to Bosco to see a doctor there.
A quick run in an automobile
was made to Bosco, but Holland
had not been seen. Sheriff God
frey then kept the wires hot to
Monroe and Shreveport and it
was not long before he received
the news that Holland had been
captured in Shreveport and was
in Jail awaiting his coming after
him.

TELLS Of THE LANDING

Experiences.

Showing zeal for action, FESTIVE under

and ammunition for Huerta. Donald Will
hottie, Washington boy aboard the
scout cruiser Salem. which is at Puerto
Mexico. the east coast terminus of the
Tehauntepec route, has written to his
mother, Mrs. F. E. Wilhoite, 212O S
street northwest. His letter in part says:
Il am on watch from midnight to 4
o'clock. The mail came by tug last
I'll have to have this letter ready in
case it leaves today. It's funny we can't
get mail little oftener. because there
are plenty of tugs and torpedo boats
at Vera Cruz doing nothing. Here we
are down here just watching and wait
ing, and the only excitement we get Is
when the men at the masthead report
something moving up the river. and then
the captain and the rest get excited,
call all hands to quarters, thinking 1t is
the Bravo or the Zaragosa coming out.
Then it turns out to be foreign
steamer.
I'VE have no fresh water. Our evap-
orators have been indisposed since we
lett Phllauelphid, ana now tney won I
make fresh water at all We had to put
out our buckets yesterday to catch rain
water tthis is the rainy season. and it
rains twelve times in twentyfour hoursl.
Tonight the watch on deck is working re-
liefs, pumping water out of a spare hum
per because the engines are being re-
paired.
That steamer. the Ypiranga, was al
lowed to run In here past us and land her
cargo of guns and ammunition. Pretty
soft for Huerto. Before that the Mexicans
didn't have enough guns to protect the
town. Now they have enough to lend us
some The papers in the states seem to
think this trouble is about over but 1t
doesn't seem so to US. Wish 1t was.

The Furness line steamship Austriana
has arrived at Baltimore to discharge a
portion of her cargo before coming to
this city with about 1900 tons of paw
ing block made from the Stag of the iron
furnaces OF Middlesboro, England. The
vessel will be about week at the Mary
land port and will then be brought around
to this city by Capt. John Barclay of
the Maryland Pilots Association. The
Austriana was twenty-five days on the
trip from Middlesboro to the capes of the
Chesapeake, contrary winds having de-
tanned her.
While she is big steamer. registering
1900 tons and being 345 feet long. forty
seven feet beam and drawing nineteen
feet of water. she is. 1t is stated. not the
largest steamship that has brought the
block here, her size being exceeded by
two of the three steamers that have
previously unloaded here. The Crawford
Paving Company Of this city Is the con.
signee of the vessel.
The Austriana Is the first vessel to
bring English-made paving block to Bal
timore, but. it Is said. she Will be fol-
lowed to that port.by several other YES
sells with full cargoes of the block.

1t is seen that the entire tax rates

Incorporation Of railroads He first in

THE recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the Shreveport rate case and

Rural Credits Plan Sidetracked.

Rural credits legislation was side
tracked for the present session of Con-
gress by the House banking and cur
rency committee today. The committee
after weeks Of agitation by the rural
credits supporters decided that an effort
to put through the bill framed by the
Buckley subcommittee at the present
session would precipitate a debate in
the Senate. which would last for weeks.
Efforts will be made, however, to have
rural credits legislation in shape to be
taken up during the short session next
winter.
