Jackson Warren Collins.

JdCkSou w diTth Oo8ius.
Died, at his home in Verda
La, March 2, 1914, Jackson War
rem Collins. aged 62 years and q
days.
The subject of this sketch was
born in Perry county, Miss, Feb.
Is. 1852, and came to Louisiana
with his parents when about two
years old. He was left an orphan
at the tender age of 6 or years,
and this with the civil war fol-
lowing close made his efforts all
the harder to get a living and
some education. but it developed
that self-relianoe and determina-
ton made him a success in life.
On Dec. 10, 1876, he married
Mary Elizabeth McLamore, who
survives him. His oldest daugh-
ter, Mrs. Blanche. Gilcrease, pre-
ceded him in death, but he leaves
seven children living: Mrs. Imo-
gene Lang and DR.. Lee L. Col
Inns, of Alexandria; and Misses
Lila, Eva and Esma, and Messrs.
Warren and Weaver Collins, of
Verda. Every one of these chill
dren have been graduated from
some of the best schools of our
State, and the deceased did this
and make his living absolutely by
farming; such a record is worthy
of note and of emulation. He
joined the Missionary Baptist
church at the age of about twenty
years and for nearly forty-two
years was leading and faithful
member, serving the last twelve
years as a deacon. Ills life was
above reproach, and having al
ways the courage of his convic-
tions he was a leader in every
community where he lived. De-
voted to his family, generous to a
fault with every one, standing
with the firmness of Gibralter for
the right always. he will be sore
ly missed in this community, and
the loss to his bereaved ones is
irreparable.
His bier was followed by more
than hundred relatives and
friends from Verda to the Mt.
Zion cemetery, where a still
greater number of friends in
that community, his former home,
We'd with each other in paying
tribute to his worth as a friend
and brother. Revs. |. M. Brian
and +. w. Lotion conducted the
funeral ceremonies paying elo-
luent tribute to his splendid
christian character, both having
served him as pastor at different !
lines.
From the calm and fearless
in which he met the grim
eaper, we are sure death had no $
errors for him. Precious in
ne sight of the Lord is the death b
f His saints. /" D

TWICE HEARD Of
MONDAY NIGHT
M. Hoy of SIS. Manoa Held Up,
While Chinese Hackman Is
Able to Get Away

Hold up your hands, and for heay-
ems sake keep quiet, or it will be all
off" was a startling and unexpected
greeting that arrested the progress
of NJ. Hoy, a member of the steward 8
department of the, Matson steamer
Manoa, while passing along desert
ed stretch of highway leading to the
railway wharves, shortly before mid
night yesterday.
Hoy declared this morning that i'm
mediately following the peremptory
challenge he was confronted by three
men.
1T was very dark and l had but lit
tie opportunity to get good line OIL
the chaps who halted me. am of
the opinion that they were dressed
in blue dungaree," commented the
victim.
Hoy admitted that while he was
held up and called upon to deliver,
he had nothing of value upon his per-
son. He was returning to his ship
after having deposited his money with
some friends. After he had been
searched he was ordered to hasten
away.
The complaint had just been filed
at police station when a Chinese
hackmen driving vehicle number 1O1
reported that he had been waylaid
while returning from Iwelei, three
men in the party attempting to get
into the carriage. The driver scent
ed trouble and piled the whip to ad-
vantage across the back of his horse.
One of the trio is alleged to have
thrown stones, several of the missels
entering the vehicle though doing no
injury to the driver.
Police Officer Enright was soon on
the scene. The men by this time had
beaten retreat in the direction of
the pineapple canneries. Hoy stated
today that he believed he would be
able to identify at least one of the
men who would relieve him of his val.
