"Sarsapa riiia.n

Yesterday afternoon a red faced
young man belonging to an excur-
sion party called into a Wood
| ward Avenue drug store and soft
ly asked the soda fountain boy if
he was ont o. any particular kind
of syrup. The boy made an in
yestigation and replied:
"We are out of Sarssparillia,
but -."
"That's all right all right you
wait a minute" interrupted the
young man, and away be went.
The boy took the empty reser-
yoir from the fountain and replace
ed it, and in about Two minutes
the young man returned in COM

people, evidently friends. Walk

We clip the following Item:
from the Orange Tribnne, of the
4th inst:
| Rev L. L. Scrnggs, Baptist, q
Wood county, called on the Tri
hune Wednesday,. He has beel
spending several months in New
Orleans, aud en route for home
stopped to preach to the people ot
Orange. His sermons Sunday
Monday and Tuesday nights were
good and duly appreciated. The
DIR. lis much pleased with this Sec
ton and thinks of returning and
settling at Lake Charles.
Beaumont has been having some
shooting. J. A. Bolton, while
rowing on the river Sunday, was
shot at three times by unknown
parties from the brush. One ball
struck him just above tho knee,
passing through the leg. And at
night of the same day II white boy,
looking in at the window of a me-
gre church, was shot in the back
by parties to him unknown. This
caused some excitement, and a
general shooting set in, when u
negro received II ball through the
hand. None of the wounded par
ties are believed TO be dangerous
Iy hrrt.
We learn from Mr.. J. s. Ander-
son, who has just returned from
Lake Charl.s, that the n w Ioc, :
motive. "Calcasieu," for the Lou
isiana Western Railroad, has ar
rived in that city; also, that an
other locomotive called he thinks,

mouth of the Calcasieu river, hav-
Ing been some forty two days ont.
1rack-laying commehced at Lake
Charles this week and is being
run east The work is progress
ing steadily. The new depot is n
two story building aud handsome
ly finished. The town of Lake
Charles is growing-the mills ale
all driving away. and the people
generally are iD good spirits and
hopeful OF the future.
AS the tug Fannie was coming
down through the narrows, late
tuesday evening, she was fred in
To by some unknown party or par
ties, and one of the bullets found
lodging ia the thigh of Green
Moore, who was employed on the |
boat. 1t is not known whether
the shooting WAS accidental or
intentionas, or who fred he shots. |
We have been unable to learn
definite 10 regard to the
affair, but it seems that just before
the boat was fred into number
of parties had been discharging
their guns in the vicinity in mere
sport. The shots came from the
orush. Ii intentional, the guilty
parties had better make them-
selves scarce. Green Moore is not
dangerously hurt and will soon
ecoyer. Sheriff Michael goes up
he river to-day to ,e,ligate the
natter.
