,O THER LYNCHING.
fI the W in .and Reaingi the
Whirl-wind
IN BOSSIER PARISH,
~it Will the Harvest of All This Open
Lawlessness Be.
Another linobiog io no sder; this
W: t're report that csm3 to the ears
of the people of Shreveport last Sat
theoen; being on the word another.
A S a rule, The Progrse bes bad little
to yT about these occurrences; not be
oealeesItindorsed them; in the name of
*vlisation and heaven, rOt but from
ihe fact it bhought the good otities
would HIEMSiLVRS rise to the
noy, and put a stop to them
tbus settle the matter rightly,
without undue advertisert to the
1d. But this crime; for its wanton
for. law, wasan aflair which
adsa word of censure from every
wbxo txets to live by the law;
th kife, pistol or rifle.
viot m this time was an elderly
named Louis Hamilton who was
irige of an offiloer uuder a charge
kiog threate against Mr. John
-o.
iegod people of Bossier it may
a ema l matter to be exercised
wo ing bu1 a nogro's hlife taken
#fItitono takjs a far more se
91w q it. A human life has
been taken without apparent provoca- a
tion. The law has been ruthlessly F
trampled upon, and hare seems to be -
little attentlhn paid to the affair.
The details of this crime are. to P
those who uphold the laws of soctety,
most horrible, cruel, blood-cardliug.
It seems that a negro is most severe
ly whipped for--no one seems to fully h
understand, It is said that he had
been most terribly punished, and whon .
hbe left with Officer Morris for Bossier,
his body bore great bruised and cut
places, showing where the cruel lash t
had fallen. This all occurred in B)s
sler parish. After this he was bun
died up in a wagon and seut to one of
the wagon yards in Soreveport--be
tween two suns-with the threat tha.
death would sunrely be his portion if he ta
ever set foot on Boesier soil again. a
Hamilton seemed to thoroughly under
stand the meaning of the awful threat,
a d seemed determined, to obey it to of
the le:ter; for he sent for ~ir. C. B
Wimbi-h, --who seemed fa know hinr
and vouched for hi. being a good old at
negro proffered his ser. ices a, a cot- at
ton picker was accepted and sent down k
on the place of Me..r. J. C. & C. B. tU
Wimbbsh, in Laddo. He was there at
least fifteen days before he was arresed tb
on that most terrible (?) eharge, mak- ve
irtg threats. Low such a charge doesI v
make the knowing one- smile, espec- fri
ially when an old, inoffensive negro in wi
Bonier par sh, is said to have made th
it against a young, vigorous, brave
white man from the same province. he
During the time he was on the place ,
of the Messrs Wimbish, Hamilton only" w
worked about a third of the time-so Sb
Mr. J. C. Wimbi hinformed the writer hip
on account o, the wounds be . ad receiv he
ed at the hands of the brave men who, oh
at the muzzleof pistole, tied him across it
a barrel. and whipped the defenceless t
man to the full heart's content of all the c
chivalrouq men pre-net. Thi, the old A tr
man told Mr. J; C. Wimbish and oth
ers, and the condition of his person cor h
roborated 'he pitiable story. cO
Well the fatal day for poor Hamilton' of
arrived when Constables McDuffie and
Rudder, accompanied by Mr. John Bird
iwell, to. identify the WANTED man,
came mpon him on Mr. wimbisha'
o place. And the constables tell a Ptory
which to them is now most ha rowing.
They sad that as soon as the poor
wretch ?aw Mr. Birdwell he beean to
plead for his life, and 'aid piteously,"i
have done nothing to be hung for".
He wa' then assured by ! on'tabie Mc
L uftle that no harm should befall him
l as long a, he remained in hiu custody;
and the haple-a man was brought t
town and turned over to our sheriff,
who delivred him to the Boiler officer
:ir. Thoman. Morris. An I then the
poor friendles negro knew his fate wa'
sealed. Be knew that if Mr. Morris
started to Benton with him by the dirt
'road, he would never reach there alive
and he begged to be shot in Bossier
City. It is also reportd that an offet
was made to pay the expense of both
officer and pritoner, if they wo'~hl go on
train, and Mr. Morri. refused the offer
They left for Ben ton by the dirt road
and by this tim ,,the civilized world
knows: 1e ui u --1t . ihitkrive,
unarmed old negro was taken (?] from
the officer by a mo', 'nd hung.
And.right here The Progress will say
that Offieer Morris DESERVES THE SE
VRI ST CE' SURE A" D IS TERRBLY CULP
AB. E. He end our paper have been
friends for years, but we now say, he
will find it a bard matter to conyince
the people that he was not a PARtY TO
THAT HI WAS LY'CIING, an a that
he did ,' T DELIBvR ATE+LY TuR.
,.HIS PRISONER oVIR TO THE M B
WHICH HE KNEW, before he left
Shreveport, swould be wAITING WOR
him. If he did not know it in advance,
he mutt have khown the temperament)
of the men who wanted Hamilton, a d
it was his duty. his sublime auty to
car v his prisoner to Benton on the
train at his own expense, if necessay.
And lot him be not deceived; he will be
hell as re'poneible as any man who
constituted the crows;, for the t, urdcr
of Hnmilton An oflfcer's dut is w
PROTECT hii pri oner. it is the duty
of the Stat government to take a hand
in thi, matter. If District Attorney
Murff ha-n'tsuf$ent backing .from the
citizens;to enable him to handle the ca-e
alone, our Attorney General should taue
charge, ask for a change of venue and
put every man who participated in the
unwarrated murder, Morris
too, on trial for hi life, in :ome pari. h
where 4t is con-idered a crime to wan
tonly kill a negro. It is the duty of
(ov. Foster to put the machinergy of
Otate govrnment work in Bos ler, and
Inaugurate the reign of the law ,nce
more. But if the g, vernr and att rn
ey general will take n) part, and th
best ,itizen: d- n:t; then 'he Fr gress
wtuldjadvise the negros t, leave the
pari hqntirely. If the planters will
nat gi e them protection from lawless
men, then they should aband ,n the
plantat.,hs and towns in Boswier, and
got t, *s me place where the in"ff':u ive
and industri,.us of their race can be
pr. teeted from want n -laughter.
Thi-. i- the way The Pr gres, feel'
ab .ut tthe matter, and it bllieves i. is

the negroes this advice. Thai wh e
