That Bonanza on sack.
SOM street.

w '''N
thanks of every citizen of this
community for the action which
he took in bringing to view the
bonanza of which the SENTINEL
spoke in it's last issue. These lit
tle rObbeiies have been commit
ted with impnnity until it was
time proper steps were taken to
break them up. Too much CONS
promising with thieves has been
going on iii this parish.
A party losing anything con-
tented himself with getting his
lost property returned, ana let
the pilferer go free.
Mr.. Jamison did not view
things i'll this light, and deter
mined that punishment should
follow theft if the guilty one
could be found.
A search warrant, in the hands
of j.. l.. Curtis, constable, soof1
discovered Mr.. JamiSon's lost
goods, and not only his, but that
of several other parties who hat
missed various articles withOu'
knowing precisely when OF where
The two victims, Hester Ho0t
and hor daughter Caroline, were
arrested and sent before the Dis
trict Court by Justice Moore
The daughter Caroline asked t
be tried before Judge Knoblocl
of the parish court, who, after
thorough investigation, fount
her gnilty and sentenced her t.
six months service in the Stat'
Penitentiary.
The other demanded a tlial b,
jury. and of course. lies in jai
until the next term OF the Dis
trict Court in December next.
This is Il new departure tina
should be followed by every pei
son. When any property is ste
len. the thieves should be hunte'
down, and punished even at
cost of five times the value of til
articles carried away, and thu
break up that method of maxim:
a cheap living.
Sumo of the articles found i
possession Of these women wer
stolen at the entertainment giI
en- bv che ladies of the Presbytt
rian Church some three or tou
months ago, who had employee
these women as assistants, VIII
thus betrayed ,he confidence II
posed in them.
\ few examples of this kin
will cause these light fipgere
gentry to be more particula
) where they place their fingers i
the future, and give them Il be
ter judgement in regard to til
proper ownership OF propert
than they have heretofore stem
ed to possess.

the receipt of the insurance etfec-
ted upon the life of Mr.. David e.
Laupheimer, brother Of the first
aud husband of the last, from
the Louisiana Equitable lite III

ceived that that stauicii and re

thousand dollars in advahce VIII. II
it was due to Mrs. Matilda Ian
phcimer. and four thousand del
lars to Mrs. Ellen Lauphrimrr,
without cavil ordrlay. This is
what we call the right way to do
business.
The Louisiana Equitable Life
Insurance Company means to
continue in this way Ii does
not take peoples money during
their lives and when they die
cheat their assignees out OF it ups
gu filmsy excuses. nor does it
force poor widows to go to law to
get their rights. tn IA word: it is
Il Southern company, conducted
on Southern principles, has all its
