In Memory Of R. Leo Rusca.

One of the saddest, most tragic and
most deeply and widely regretted
deaths that has taken place in Natchi-
toches in long while, was that of Mr..
Il. Leo Rusca, Chief of Police, which
occurred at 10 p. m. June 10, when he
fell by the bullet of a criminal negro
whom he had gone to arrest. When
the call came to form posse to go in
search of this brute who was menancing
the safety of the people, Leo was the
first to respond, the foremost in pur.
suing and his was the brave young life
that was yielded up at the call of his
city. Leo was young man of excep.
tlonally fine moral character, upright,
generous, honorable, courteous and
every inch the man.
He was absolutely fearless and in his
official capacity displayed the most dar-
ing bravery, cool headedness and eff
cheney in the discharge of his duties.
During the years that he held this
position he gave entire satisfaction and
won the confidence and respect of all
the city officials. In private life he was
a most devoted and loving son and
brother whose loss will always be most
deeply mourned.
Letters, kilograms and expressions
Of coincidence and regret have come
from different parts of the State, for
Leo was loved by all who knew him.
The high respect and esteem in which
he was held by the people oee Natchi-
toches, was attested by the large con-
course of Sorrowing friends VINO fol-
lowed him to his last resting place, by
the closing of business houses during
the funeral, by the flower laden casket
and by the sorrow and gloom that has
been cast over the entire town at the
passing of their brave young hero, who
yielded his life for the safety land pro-
lection of his people.
Gods ways are inscrutable. We
know not why these heavy sorrows are
sent US; but we do know that it comes
from the hands of an all-wise and good
God who doeth all things for the best.
We must bow in submission and recon-
cDiation aad say ''Thy will be done.
Some day we shall know and see
Gods purposes when we meet our loved
ones face; to face.
To the sorrowing family we extend
heartfelt sympathy and sincere con-.
dolences. .4

Red Cross Incidents.

A number Of incidents that tes
| tify to the deep interest that every
body is taking in the Red Cross
have occurred the past week ano
proved the fact that our people
just had to be told and they would
understand and would respond
promptly and respond nobly.
One of the most touching, came
from a wholly unexpected source,
the little children of the First
Baptist (coIored) Sunday School
who contributed their mic and
sent $3.11 with the following
note and this sacrifice on the part
these little children, means much
and manitests a spirit that is IN
usual and it would be well to emu
late:
Mrs. Camilla Breazeale:
The First Baptist Sabbath School of
Natchitoches, La, has donated to the
Red Cross $3.11.

! Years of effort, backed by the belief
that the south is entitled to a photo
play theatre commensurate with her re-
sources, bore fruition Wednesday, July
4, at New Orleans, when the Saenger
Amusement Company, Inc, formally
opened their Strand Theatre, corner
! BarOnne and Gravier streets. The best
that time, money, energy, thought, and
craftsmanship could combine to produce,
are said to be represented in this build
ing, which is a titanic tribute to the
silent drama, as well as monument to
the enterprising southerners who built
it.
The Saenger Corporation are pioneers
in the south. In appreciation OF the
support the south has given them, they
have built theatre at New Orleans
which will serve as a standard for SIM
liar institutions in this section.
The Strand has seating capacity of
1000. A symphony orchestra of IS
pieces, the largest permanent theatre
organization in the United States, will
interpret each and every production,
while mammoth pipe organ will be an
additional attraction. A ladies' lounge,
luXuriously appointed, with courteous
attendants in charge; a uniformed house
staff, drilled under military discipline;
an information bureau; a private trunk
line telephone exchange; a tourist
bureau of information for out-of-town
residents or shoppers; and a-eeaeert at
noon daily by the symphony orchestra
exclusively, are only few of the fea-
lures embodied in this latest of south
ern institutions that will amaze local
residents on their next visit to the
Crescent City.

The Natchitoches Equal Suffrage

Mr.. Aswell to convey to the president
the sincere regret of the club at the
annoyance to which he has been sub
jected. Following is the message sent
to Mr.. Asweli and his reply thereto:

Hon. James b. Aswell,
Washington, d. G.
The members of the Natchitoches
Equal Suffrage Club, composed mostly
OF women, request you to convey to the
president their sincere regret at the
annoyance and embarrassment to which
he is being subjected by the misdirected
seal of fcw women suffragists, whose
i'll timed activities in picketing the
White House grounds and displaying
banners denying the democracy of our
government, they deeply deplore as
hurtful to the cause of woman suffrage
as disloyal to our country in its hour
of supreme peril, and as uselessly in
creasing the cares of man on whom
and on whose serenity of mind the well
fare Of the world at this critical time
so largely depens.
