                 Joking Remark of Louisiana man is Blamed for Stabbing

Shreveport, La., Sept. 14—A Special to the Times from Monroe, La., says Edward Caldwell, 
a prominent citizen of that place, was stabbed to death by Marshall Johnson of Union 
Parish, in the public road, one mile from Monroe, this afternoon.  The men were friends 
and had been joking each other.  Johnson became angry about something Caldwell said and 
demanded that he retract it.  Caldwell refused and was stabbed near the heart, death 
resulting almost instantly.  Johnson has not been arrested.
