Tht Columbia players continually
protested against the decisions of
Umpire Henley claiming that he gave
the Slidell bunch the better OF all
the close plays, on which account
they were at disadvantage. The
climax of adverses came in the eighth
inn, when the umpire ordered Bud
Rezza out Of the game, thereby
weakening the Columbias at the hat
In that inning Rezza would have had
an opportunity to tie the score, at

SUDDEN DEATH GREAT
SHOCK TO THE PEOPLE
Death Caused by Acute In.
digestion and Weak Heart.
Worried, Ovcrworked

last Monday, May 20, 1916, Judge
Joseph B. Lancaster went to Frank
linton. La, to hold the May session
of the 26th Judicial District Court.
His friends were congratulating him
that he was looking much improved.
and the thought of death was far
from the minds of his friends. A
New months ago he had undergone an
Operation for intestinal trouble, that
his surgeons said had been caused
nv 4 blow at some time which he did
not remember. The operation was
entirely successful and the judge had
resumed his duties on the bench. al
though he had been repeatedly urg-
"a to rest until he was fully recov-
cred. Besides his judicial labors he
had actively participated in political
campaigns, but the most severe
strain he had been called upon to
bear was the recent serious illness OF
his wife. He was extremely fond
Of his family, and his home life was
the greatest source of happiness to
him. 4
Tuesday the Judge left the supper
table at the hotel in Franklinton
about 1880 p. m. He jokingly re-
marked. as he arose to leave, Il
haven't eaten 1t all. / leave the
rest for you" He went up stairs
20 his room and then came down
to the writing room. A gentleman
present noticed that he seemed to
10 looking for something, and he Of
fered him some paper. The Judge
took up a pen and leaned over to
write the date, MAY 30," on a
voucher. The pen trembled in his
hand and traced a line down the
paper as he sank to the floor In an
unconscious condition, from which
Ae never recovered. His death was
xaaid to be due to acute indigestion,
hnd heart failure. His body was
brought to Covington on the Wednes-
day morning train, where 1t was re-
ceived by delegation of the Knights
Of Columbus and the Woodmen OF
the World, and taken to his res.
dence, the funeral taking place al
$3.50 D. m. Wednesday, services be-
ang conducted by Rev. Jos. koegeri
at the residence and at st. Peters
Church. The pallbearers were 7. E.
Brewster, Lewis L. Morgan. Z. J.
Frederick, F. ]. Heintz. Chas.
bradley and George Refine. Mem
bers of the bar OF st. Tammany ana
Washington parishes were honorary
pallbearers. The knights of Colum:
bus and the Woodmen Of the Worlc
participated in the funeral cere-
monies.
There were innumerable offerings
OF flowers the Bar Association send.
ing a beautiful white wreath and
cross. The Elks also sent beau
tiful offering.
Judge Lancaster was born ir
Brookhaven, Miss. and was 81 years
Of age on April TO- His father,
w. B. Lancaster, married Miss jose

DROWNED IN

RIVER.

and Alarm Given by-Two
Young Bathers.
JOHN PETERS DIVES, TO
BOTTOM FOR BODY
Windmiller From st. Louis,
Resided in Abita Springs
Past Eight Months.

The Abita River is ordinarily a
placid, quiet stream, whose depth il
hidden by the shadow OF overhangine
trees, and treacherous holes give no
indication of their presence. The
boys who are familiar with the hath
ing holes know where these hollows
are and run little risk Of stepping
into them, but strangers who battle
alone run a risk, and there have been
several drowned in assuming this
risk unguided.
The body of David. Windmiller, OF
st. Louis. but for the past eight or
nine months a resident Of Abita
Springs, was found in the Abita
River Wednesday, about 3:s15 p. m.
Windmiller had left home shortly
after dinner. He was Is years
age. Chas. Hamilton, his brother
iR-law, was notified and came for the
body.
The body was recovered by JohI
Peters, who dove into the water and
brought it to the surface. He was
brought to the scene by Russell Ca
longne and Louis Grelle, who were
on their way to a bathing place, when
they discovered Windmiller's clothes.
They thought he might be hiding
from them, but their search for him
disclosed the body at the bottom of
the shallow river.

It was with deep sorrow that i

fortitude with which he carried tht

cheerful confidence. there are circum

of the recent missionary meetings al

attention to the remarks of Fathe,
Meyer when he told how at every
place to which he had returned he
found some brother Of his former
congregation passed into the beyond
Before he left for Franklinton, last
Monday, he complained to Mrs. Robt

purchased some medicine at the drug
store. After death . prayer book

A Floater On The
Belle FOurche River

Wednesday afternoon about five
O'Clock whi'e the east bound freight
train was unloading gravel about
two miles west of Nisland, near
the Irc Briggs ranch. Brakeman
Will Miller went down to the river
which is only a short distance from
the track, and while stand;~ ~
the bank saw the body of boy,
which be thought to be about IA
years old floating down the river.
He followed it down the river for
about mile with the intention ef
trying to land it, but his time was
short and he had to give it up and
get back to the train. He reported
what he saw to the train men and
section hands and to Agent Shippy
when they arrived at the station.
and the men that live here spread
the news as soon as they could.
Mr.. Miller says when he saw the
fioater it had on a light colored
shirt and blue overalls, and there
were several large fish following
it-some of them being two feet
or more in length. Sheriff True,
and in fact everybody that we have
heard say anything about the
drowned boy, are greatly surprised
and it sure is a mystery, where it
came from for nobody in Belle
Fourche or anywhere along the
river has heard of anyone meeting
death in this way. Some think it
must have come from near the
head of the river or from some
stream that empties irto the Belle
Fourche several miles up the river.
The search will be kept up until
the river is thoroughly searched
from the place where it was last
seen to where the Grow creek en-
pties into the Belle Fourche. When
they get to that place they will
have to stop for the water flowing
down that stream raises the river
so high that it would be useless to
hunt below it. Excerpt from The
Nisland Press
