HmI /VtffllptMl to Found Kingdom on
Coast of Africa.
, Westbury, 9m? Jan. H. ? Jacqueg
j^foudv known as "Emperor of the
JUhura," W?s *hot killed by hi?
wife 8* he entered her home, "Phoenix
Lwfce," hero tonight.
Ills body, pierced by ti bullet was
found at the foot of the grand Htaftcase
9f tbe house. A black grip lay beside
tbc body.
Ulluudy waa g hot five time*. Two
if the bullets entered his chest near
(h,. heart, two struck him in the face,
and the fifth penetrated hia back.
foBaudy, whose escapades hud filled
columns in New York newspapers made
for himself .tb(V~ title >>f "Emperor of
Ihe Sahara" in 1003, shortly after his
father hail died, leaving liirn an estate
the value of which was estimated at
$1L\(MK?,000.
Conceiving idea of establishing
? great maritime city and a "kingdom"
?n the coast of Africa, LeHaudy sailed
from France on his yacht "Frasquita"
accompanied by three followers. After
landing and takiug formal possession of
the shore under the title' of "Jacques
1, Emperor of the Sahara," he return
ed to Europe and coljectod a colony of
?early .Toft persons whom he. transport
'?(1 to his "Kingdom". * ?
Difficulties with the French, Spanish,
aud Swissr governinente followed and
UHumly hauled down his flag. i
Iu 1901, LeBaudy issued a statement
from Brussels "renouncing his crown",
but a year later it was reported ho
sacrificed a payment of 1,000,000 franca
due hi.m from a sugar transaction bo
na use the check was not made out to
"Jacques I, Emperor of the Sahara."
Lellaudy came to the United States
? short time later,, reports at that time
statin;: had -been rsfe-rmed by the
government of France his presence there
?o longer was acceptable.
Shortly before his separation from^his
wife LeBaudy startled the countryside
about Westbury by staging a 'battle on
his estfltc employing a number of mes
senger boys to act as an opposing army.
When the "enemy's" advance threaten
ed' to ejjgutf him* the "^Emperor of
the Sahura" set 'Jire to a huge pile of
straw and conducted a "strategic re
treat". His "smoke barrage" resulted
in calling out the village fire depart
ment.
Coming Home to Roost.
J>uriii|c recent riots in Berlin the
K n 5 ser*3 jTal ftco 8 u ffeFS<J TSPVC rol y from
fcotnbardment, uud still more from loot
ing. Soldiers and sai'ors, returned home
from the war, undertook to help,tliem
?elvcx to the' royal possessions. They
?toll' the silver and plundered the war-,
?dro!>t?N* of the former emperor aud em
>roKx. They carried off great quantities
?f fur.M, silks, curta'us, furniture and
?liscollaneous objects of art. Much of
ihc loot was subsequently rccovercd, but
tho losses are estimated at nearly $2,
Thus we have another striking example
?' rotributton.
Those II uu crusudcrs simply practiced
when they not buck to Berlin, what the
Berlin government ha*l taught theuv to
do in every foreljcn laud where they set1,
their invading feet.
Apparently, though, the lesson was not |
loomed with entire thoroughness. They
do not seem to have slashed the oil
paintings and smnshcd the Htatuary uud
chandeliers uud wrecked and defiled the
palace generally, as they did the beauti-l
ful chateau* of Franoe. They contented |
themselves with crude burglary instead
of the super-vuudnlisin taught by their
former matters.
St/ll, they did pretty well for Hun?|
a bit rusty from relaxation. And if
such conduct will only teach the Ger
man nation and the present German gov
eminent the simple old truth that chick
"iin will cime home to roost, more pow
er to them. ? Sumter Item.

A BOOZE STORY
One Passenger's Ixjhh Was Another Pas
senger's Oaln.
" .
A writer in the Charlotte Observer of
January 11, tells the following funny
story of two passengerR on a train out of
Baltimore: , ^
"W. C. Crist, a personal and business
friend of mine in Winston-Salem, tells
a story of unusual Interest in connection
with the reported transportation of booze
from a certain northern city. Crist
palms the story off on a rail jroad "Official
who is unknown . to me, and for fear
of Betting in Dutch by hanging it on
to him I am using only * the name of
my acquaintance. , '
"The story runs that a certain man
was enroute from .Hal? , I mean a city
north of Washington, and in~his grip
lay eight quarts of "cobwebb." At Lynch
burg there appeared in the coach \n\
-officer of .the law clad, in plain clothes.
Down tho ear he eame, looking into
thr faces of passengers and at suitcases
and grips.
"Arriving -at our friend ho stopped,
picked up his grip sat it down again
and said; "Your grip?" to which the
Winston-Salem man replied in the neg<?>
tive. Then inquiry was made as to the
possible owner, to which reply was also
given that Tie was unknown, _
"Booze in it. I shall take it" said
the officer and take it he did.
? On the cross seat at the end of the
car sat another man, terribly nervous
through this proceeding. He was no
ticed by the man who had just lost his
grip, and straightway the latter went
into the car to the rear. Arriving at
Greensboro he entered the car in which
the nervous one was a passenger and
stopping in front of him he asked:
"Your grip?"
"No," was the hasty reply.
"Know whose it is?"
_ ? "Have no idea. Man was sitting hero
awhile ago and probably went into
the other car."
"Booze in it. I shall take it," remarked
the man who had lost his at Lynchburg,
and picking up the grip he left the
train.
Kn route to WJnston - Salem from
Greensboro he opened the grip and
found nine quarts of "cobwebj" so that
ho was ojxc quart ahead of the gam?,
even though the Ljrnchburg officer had
confiscated his entire load.
