informed the police board in emphatic terms that

also told the reporter OF the CRESCENT that for the

that the greater portion of the burgaries recently
committed were either connived at or nstigated

JUDGE BREUNING. parish Judge in jefferson has
appointed Robert l.. Preston, Esq, attorney for
the parish. MIR. Preston is young man of fine
abilities and excellent character. His father was
the Hon. Isaac 7. Preston, for many years one of
the leading lawyers at the bar of Louisiana, aud
at one time judge of the Supreme Court. The
appointment gives general satisfaction.
We ARE INFORMED by excellent authority that
the total number of registered voters in the
parish of st. Martin is l6i5, 1925 whites and 800
blacks. with the exception of one precinct TO be
heard from, which will not materially change the

SINCE THE EXCITEMENT of the past three days a
negro, fearing the invasion of his residence du.
ring the night, has struck the idea of posting
upon his door every evening before retiring to
bed sign reading house to rent" which he
takes in in the morning.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE COOL WEATHER the mus.
quitoes were exceedingly annoying last evening
at the Varieties Theater. Were they fleeing from
ST. Bernard, or had they caught the riot fever.
We hope the st. Charles will soon open in order
ihat We may take refuge behind Ben De (mus.
quito) Bar.
