"The way of the transgressor is hard"
1t is in violation of a city ordinance to de-
post manure or other offensive offal on the
river bank or elsewhere in the city limits.
This morning as . mar was backing up his
team to dump a load of manure on the bank
Of the river, he backed a little too far, and
wagon, manure, team and driver were
plunged into the river in about three feet Of
water. The man was on top Of the load
when it started to 90 over, but when the
wagon struck the water it was bottom side
up, and of course the mans position was re-
versed. He was in the water with the con-
tents Of the wagon on top Of him. After .
brief struggle he extricated himself and
reached the shore, but he presented a sadly
demoralized appearance, and the odor he
emitted had not the slightest senblance to
that of a night-blooming cereus. He is a re-
formed man, and will dump no more ma
nure on the levee.
