THREAT OF
At Winner Enforced by A Posse
Against Undesirable Citizen.

Winner, May pa band of about
rs men, all masked, broke the lock
on the Trip county Jail early Sunday
morning, put a rope around the neck
of William Riley, an inmate of that
institution, and marched him to a tel
egraph pole just outside of the city
limits. Without a word they pro-
ceeded to haul Riley into the air. Civ
ing a severe test to the strength of
his neck. They soon lowered him
and then informed him that his
presence on the Rosebud vas no
longer desired.
Riley showed hesitation in assur-
ing his entertainers that he would
depart for other fields and he was
again hoisted into the air. He quick
ly indicated a desire to rest his No.
lis on mother earth, and was let
down. On making a solemn promise
to leave and lever return he was re-
leased and at once headed down the
railroad track. away from Winner.
Riley was in Jail serving a sentence
for petit larceny. He has been sus-
pected of many d~epredations and was
in general, a very undesirable citi-
zen.
No prosecutions for Jail breaking

FIND Battle MAP
Of new ORLEANS
Bears Signatures Of Those Who
Fought Behind Cotton Bales.

New Orleans.-Interest in the slum-
bering cotton bale theory of the battle
OF New Orleans has been aroused by
the finding of a water color picture
map of the original battle plan in IN
abandoned trunk in the cellar of a no
tel. Little is known about the draw
ing or the other contents of the trunk,
which has remained unnoticed for
years in a dark corner.
Five veterans of the battle had add
ed their signatures to the remarkable
map TO attest the fact that it is a true
representation Of the battle plan as
made under the direction of Andrew
Jackson by his military engineer, ii,
Laclotte, 1t shows Il line OF cotton
bales. which a marginal note says was
1000 feet long. with a prolongment ex-
tending GOO feet into the woods. Some
historians deny the story about the
use of cotton bales.

fought behind cotton bales were Jo-

Gervais. Pen pictures of these men
